12 Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
13 port.

15 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
16 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
17 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
18 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
19 unless you want to debug such a crash.

32 Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each

46 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
47 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
48 of memory corruptions.

53 help
54 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
55 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
56 data. This option may have a slight performance impact because a
57 portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore.
58 If in doubt, say "N".

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070064 help
65 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
66 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
67 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
68 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
69 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

96 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
97 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
98 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
99 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
100 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
101 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
102 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
103 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
104 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
105 details.
