12 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
13 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can

14 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
15 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
16 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

18 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
19 userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
20 This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
21 /dev/mem.

40 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
41 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
42 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate

138
139 This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
140 kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
141 certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
142 tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
143 to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
144 for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
145 invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
146
147 flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift

159 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
160 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
161 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
162 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
163 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line

284 This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
285 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
286 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
287 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
63fb7085
SW
288 enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
289 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
290 decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
291 is there to test gcc for this.
