684 In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex

806 Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
807 helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
808 in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
809 the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
810 run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
812 See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
814 However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
815 by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
818 If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
819 are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
820 these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder

837 DMA cache maintenance functions is performed. These LDR/STR
838 instructions change the cache line state to shared or modified
839 so that the cache operation has the desired effect.
841 Note that the workaround is only valid on processors that do
842 not perform speculative loads into the D-cache. For such

935 Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
936 provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
937 memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
938 so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
940 Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
941 on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
942 prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
944 However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
945 and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
