| 9 | Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables, |
| 10 | in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const data. |
| 11 | This option may have a slight performance impact because a portion |
| 12 | of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore. |
| 13 | If in doubt, say "N". |

| 18 | help |
| 19 | Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of |
| 20 | memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And |
| 21 | allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot |
| 22 | time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather |
| 23 | list merging. Currently not recommended for production |
| 24 | code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough |
| 25 | IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can |
| 26 | be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line |
| 27 | options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more |
| 28 | details. |

| 35 | Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you |
| 36 | are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings. |
