50 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
51 machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
52 initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
53 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
54
55 For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
56 because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
57 print anything on the screen.

59 You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
60 crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

95 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
96
97 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
98 W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
99
100 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
101
102 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
103
104 or like this, if the check failed:
105
106 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
107
108 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
109 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
110 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
111 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.

133
134 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
135 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
136 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
137 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
138 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
139 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
140 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
141
142 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
