| prompt "Filter access to /dev/mem" | |
| ---help--- | |
| This option restricts access to /dev/mem. If this option is | |
| disabled, you allow userspace access to all memory, including | |
| kernel and userspace memory. Accidental memory access is likely | |
| to be disastrous. | |
| Memory access is required for experts who want to debug the kernel. | |
| If you are unsure, say Y. | |

| prompt "Strict user copy size checks" | |
| ---help--- | |
| Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user | |
| copy operations into compile time warnings. | |
| The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there | |
| are sufficient security checks on the length argument of | |
| the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is | |
| within bounds. | |
| If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N. | |

| ---help--- | |
| 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. | |
| If in doubt, say "N" | |
