7	bool "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"

9	select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
10	select DEBUG_FS
11        help
12	  Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
13	  debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
14	  who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
15	  It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
16	  kernel.
17
18	  If in doubt, say N.

20config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
21	bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
22	help
23	  Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
24	  the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
25	  instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
26	  planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
27
28config ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
29	bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time"
30	help
31	  Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
32	  of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
33	  this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
34	  build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
35	  text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
36	  fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
37
38	  This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
39	  only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
40	  of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
41	  value.
42
43config DEBUG_WX
44	bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
45	select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
46	---help---
47	  Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
48
49	  This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
50	  W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
51	  This check also includes UXN, which should be set on all kernel
52	  mappings.
53
54	  Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
55
56	    arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
57
58	  or like this, if the check failed:
59
60	    arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
61
62	  Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
63	  still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
64	  themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
65	  of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
66
67	  There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
68	  once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
69
70	  If in doubt, say "Y".
71
72config DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA
73	depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
74	bool "Align linker sections up to SECTION_SIZE"
75	help
76	  If this option is enabled, sections that may potentially be marked as
77	  read only or non-executable will be aligned up to the section size of
78	  the kernel. This prevents sections from being split into pages and
79	  avoids a potential TLB penalty. The downside is an increase in
80	  alignment and potentially wasted space. Turn on this option if
81	  performance is more important than memory pressure.
82
83	  If in doubt, say N.
84
85config DEBUG_EFI
86	depends on EFI && DEBUG_INFO
87	bool "UEFI debugging"
88	help
89	  Enable this option to include EFI specific debugging features into
90	  the kernel that are only useful when using a debug build of the
91	  UEFI firmware
