| 95 | Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot. |

| 97 | This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving |

| 99 | |
| 100 | Look for a message in dmesg output like this: |

| 107 | |
| 108 | Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly |

| 297 | This option enables the ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwinder for |
| 298 | unwinding kernel stack traces. It uses a custom data format which is |
| 299 | a simplified version of the DWARF Call Frame Information standard. |
| 300 | |

| 311 | ---help--- |
| 312 | This option enables the frame pointer unwinder for unwinding kernel |
| 313 | stack traces. |
| 314 | |
| 315 | The unwinder itself is fast and it uses less RAM than the ORC |
| 316 | unwinder, but the kernel text size will grow by ~3% and the kernel's |
| 317 | overall performance will degrade by roughly 5-10%. |
| 318 | |
| 319 | This option is recommended if you want to use the livepatch |
| 320 | consistency model, as this is currently the only way to get a |
| 321 | reliable stack trace (CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE). |

| 328 | This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack |
| 329 | traces. It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it |
| 330 | finds. Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect. |

| 332 | While this option often produces false positives, it can still be |
| 333 | useful in many cases. Unlike the other unwinders, it has no runtime |
