ae531c26 10 help
16104b55

11 If this option is left off, you allow userspace access to all
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.
15
16 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
17 userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
18 This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
19 /dev/mem.
20
21 If in doubt, say Y.

27 Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
28 port.

30 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
31 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
32 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
33 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
34 unless you want to debug such a crash.

126 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
127 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
128 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
129 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
130 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

156 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
157 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
158 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
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
164 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more

IM
265 help
266 This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
267 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
268 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
269 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
270 disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
271 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
272 become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
273 test gcc for this.
