9 select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
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
20 config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
21 bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
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.
28 config ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
29 bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time"
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.
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
44 bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
45 select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
47 Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
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
54 Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
56 arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
58 or like this, if the check failed:
60 arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
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.
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.
72 config DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA
73 depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
74 bool "Align linker sections up to SECTION_SIZE"
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.
86 depends on EFI && DEBUG_INFO
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
