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

81
82 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
83 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
84 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
85 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
86 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
87 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
88 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
89
90 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
