Pull x86 FPU changes from Ingo Molnar:
"There are two bigger changes in this tree:
- Add an [early-use-]safe static_cpu_has() variant and other
robustness improvements, including the new X86_DEBUG_STATIC_CPU_HAS
configurable debugging facility, motivated by recent obscure FPU
code bugs, by Borislav Petkov
- Reimplement FPU detection code in C and drop the old asm code, by
Peter Anvin."
* 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86, fpu: Use static_cpu_has_safe before alternatives
x86: Add a static_cpu_has_safe variant

config STRICT_DEVMEM

bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
|
|
---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. Note that with PAT support
|
|
enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
|
|
use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
|
|
|
|
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
|
userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
|
|
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
|
|
/dev/mem.

Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial

This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very

early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
|

it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate

with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,

Say Y here if you want to check the overflows of kernel, IRQ

|
limit.

Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a

debugfs file. 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.

---help---
|

Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
|

in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
|
|
data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
|

This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA

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_NX_TEST

config DOUBLEFAULT

bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EXPERT
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that

|
would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
|
|
option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
|
|
hair.

config DEBUG_TLBFLUSH
|
|
bool "Set upper limit of TLB entries to flush one-by-one"
|
|
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
|
|
---help---
|
|
|
|
X86-only for now.
|
|
|
|
This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
|
|
kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
|
|
certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
|
|
tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
|
|
to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
|
|
for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
|
|
invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
|
|
|
|
flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".

config IOMMU_DEBUG
|
|
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
|
|
depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
|
|
depends on X86_64
|
|
---help---
|
|
Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
|
|
memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
|
|
allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
|
|
time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
|
|
list merging. Currently not recommended for production
|
|
code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
|
|
IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
|
|
be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
|
|
options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
config IOMMU_STRESS
|
|
bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
|
|
---help---
|
|
This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
|

code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
|
|
will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
|
|
testing.
|

config IOMMU_LEAK
|
|
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
|
|
depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG

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

is there to test gcc for this.
