60 One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
61 machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
62 initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
63 a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
64
65 For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
66 because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
67 print anything on the screen.

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

105 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
106
107 This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
108 W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
109
110 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
111
112 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
113
114 or like this, if the check failed:
115
116 x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
117
118 Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
119 still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
120 themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
121 of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
122
123 There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
124 once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.

142 X86-only for now.
143
144 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
145 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
146 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
147 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
148 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
149 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
150 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
151
152 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift

364 ---help---
365 This option enables the ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwinder for
366 unwinding kernel stack traces. It uses a custom data format which is
367 a simplified version of the DWARF Call Frame Information standard.
368
369 This unwinder is more accurate across interrupt entry frames than the
Josh Poimboeufa34a7662017-07-24 18:36:58 -0500370 frame pointer unwinder. It also enables a 5-10% performance
371 improvement across the entire kernel compared to frame pointers.
Josh Poimboeufee9f8fc2017-07-24 18:36:57 -0500372
373 Enabling this option will increase the kernel's runtime memory usage
374 by roughly 2-4MB, depending on your kernel config.

377 bool "Frame pointer unwinder"
378 select FRAME_POINTER
379 ---help---
380 This option enables the frame pointer unwinder for unwinding kernel
381 stack traces.
382
383 The unwinder itself is fast and it uses less RAM than the ORC
384 unwinder, but the kernel text size will grow by ~3% and the kernel's
385 overall performance will degrade by roughly 5-10%.
386
387 This option is recommended if you want to use the livepatch
388 consistency model, as this is currently the only way to get a
389 reliable stack trace (CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE).

Josh Poimboeuf81d38712017-07-25 08:54:24 -0500395 ---help---
396 This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
397 traces. It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
398 finds. Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect.
399
400 While this option often produces false positives, it can still be
401 useful in many cases. Unlike the other unwinders, it has no runtime
402 overhead.
