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