This information is only useful for kernel developers + who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel. + It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production + kernel. + If in doubt, say "N" + +config STRICT_DEVMEM + bool "Filter access to /dev/mem" + depends on MMU + help + If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all + of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental + access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can + be used by people debugging the kernel. + + If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows + userspace access to memory mapped peripherals. + + If in doubt, say Y. + +config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR + bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register" + help + Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to + the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional + instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are + planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel. + +config ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET + bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time" + help + Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET) + of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected, + this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any + build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the + text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to + fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset. + + This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing + only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value + of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific + value. + +config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX + bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO" + depends on MODULES + help + This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable + kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution + of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code + patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect + against certain classes of kernel exploits. + If in doubt, say "N". + +config DEBUG_RODATA + bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only" + help + If this is set, kernel text and rodata will be made read-only. This + is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the + kernel's executable code.

This prevents sections from being split into pages and + avoids a potential TLB penalty. The downside is an increase in + alignment and potentially wasted space.
