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 say N here,

Write kernel log output directly into the xHCI debug port.
|
|
One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
|
machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
|
initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
|
a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
|
|
For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
|
because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
|
print anything on the screen.
|
|
You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
|
crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

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".

IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can

be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line

This option enables the ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwinder for

unwinding kernel stack traces. It uses a custom data format which is

a simplified version of the DWARF Call Frame Information standard.

This unwinder is more accurate across interrupt entry frames than the

frame pointer unwinder. It also enables a 5-10% performance
|
improvement across the entire kernel compared to frame pointers.

Enabling this option will increase the kernel's runtime memory usage

useful in many cases. Unlike the other unwinders, it has no runtime
