+	acpi=		[HW,ACPI,X86,ARM64]
+			Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
+			Format: { force | on | off | strict | noirq | rsdt |
+				  copy_dsdt }
+			force -- enable ACPI if default was off
+			on -- enable ACPI but allow fallback to DT [arm64]
+			off -- disable ACPI if default was on
+			noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
+			strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
+				strictly ACPI specification compliant.
+			rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
+			copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
+			For ARM64, ONLY "acpi=off", "acpi=on" or "acpi=force"
+			are available
+
+			See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt, pci=noacpi
+
+	acpi_apic_instance=	[ACPI, IOAPIC]
+			Format: <int>
+			2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
+			1,0: use 1st APIC table
+			default: 0
+
+	acpi_backlight=	[HW,ACPI]
+			acpi_backlight=vendor
+			acpi_backlight=video
+			If set to vendor, prefer vendor specific driver
+			(e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
+			of the ACPI video.ko driver.
+
+	acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr
+			force FADT to use 32 bit addresses rather than the
+			64 bit X_* addresses. Some firmware have broken 64
+			bit addresses for force ACPI ignore these and use
+			the older legacy 32 bit addresses.
+
+	acpica_no_return_repair [HW, ACPI]
+			Disable AML predefined validation mechanism
+			This mechanism can repair the evaluation result to make
+			the return objects more ACPI specification compliant.
+			This option is useful for developers to identify the
+			root cause of an AML interpreter issue when the issue
+			has something to do with the repair mechanism.
+
+	acpi.debug_layer=	[HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
+	acpi.debug_level=	[HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
+			Format: <int>
+			CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
+			debug output.  Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
+			_COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
+			    #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
+			Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
+			ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
+			    ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
+			The debug_level mask defaults to "info".  See
+			Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information about
+			debug layers and levels.
+
+			Enable processor driver info messages:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
+			Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x400000
+			Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
+			object while interpreting AML:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
+			Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
+			    acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
+
+			Some values produce so much output that the system is
+			unusable.  The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
+			if you need to capture more output.
+
+	acpi_enforce_resources=	[ACPI]
+			{ strict | lax | no }
+			Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
+			and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
+			only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
+			used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
+			can interfere with legacy drivers.
+			strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
+			is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
+			resources will fail to bind to device using them.
+			lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
+			legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
+			will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
+			no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
+			no further checks are performed.
+
+	acpi_force_table_verification	[HW,ACPI]
+			Enable table checksum verification during early stage.
+			By default, this is disabled due to x86 early mapping
+			size limitation.
+
+	acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
+			ACPI will balance active IRQs
+			default in APIC mode
+
+	acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
+			ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
+			default in PIC mode
+
+	acpi_irq_isa=	[HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, mark listed IRQs used by ISA
+			Format: <irq>,<irq>...
+
+	acpi_irq_pci=	[HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, clear listed IRQs for
+			use by PCI
+			Format: <irq>,<irq>...
+
+	acpi_mask_gpe=	[HW,ACPI]
+			Due to the existence of _Lxx/_Exx, some GPEs triggered
+			by unsupported hardware/firmware features can result in
+			GPE floodings that cannot be automatically disabled by
+			the GPE dispatcher.
+			This facility can be used to prevent such uncontrolled
+			GPE floodings.
+			Format: <byte>
+
+	acpi_no_auto_serialize	[HW,ACPI]
+			Disable auto-serialization of AML methods
+			AML control methods that contain the opcodes to create
+			named objects will be marked as "Serialized" by the
+			auto-serialization feature.
+			This feature is enabled by default.
+			This option allows to turn off the feature.
+
+	acpi_no_memhotplug [ACPI] Disable memory hotplug.  Useful for kdump
+			   kernels.
+
+	acpi_no_static_ssdt	[HW,ACPI]
+			Disable installation of static SSDTs at early boot time
+			By default, SSDTs contained in the RSDT/XSDT will be
+			installed automatically and they will appear under
+			/sys/firmware/acpi/tables.
+			This option turns off this feature.
+			Note that specifying this option does not affect
+			dynamic table installation which will install SSDT
+			tables to /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic.
+
+	acpi_no_watchdog	[HW,ACPI,WDT]
+			Ignore the ACPI-based watchdog interface (WDAT) and let
+			a native driver control the watchdog device instead.
+
+	acpi_rsdp=	[ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
+			Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
+			on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
+			second kernel for kdump.
+
+	acpi_os_name=	[HW,ACPI] Tell ACPI BIOS the name of the OS
+			Format: To spoof as Windows 98: ="Microsoft Windows"
+
+	acpi_rev_override [ACPI] Override the _REV object to return 5 (instead
+			of 2 which is mandated by ACPI 6) as the supported ACPI
+			specification revision (when using this switch, it may
+			be necessary to carry out a cold reboot _twice_ in a
+			row to make it take effect on the platform firmware).
+
+	acpi_osi=	[HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
+			acpi_osi="string1"	# add string1
+			acpi_osi="!string2"	# remove string2
+			acpi_osi=!*		# remove all strings
+			acpi_osi=!		# disable all built-in OS vendor
+						  strings
+			acpi_osi=!!		# enable all built-in OS vendor
+						  strings
+			acpi_osi=		# disable all strings
+
+			'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
+			multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
+			vendor string(s).  Note that such command can only
+			affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
+			it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
+			strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
+			specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
+			is meaningless.  This command is useful when one do not
+			care about the state of the feature group strings which
+			should be controlled by the OSPM.
+			Examples:
+			  1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
+			     to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
+			     can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
+
+			'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
+			'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
+			exist in the ACPI namespace.  NOTE that such command can
+			only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
+			multiple times through kernel command line is also
+			meaningless.
+			Examples:
+			  1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
+			     FALSE.
+
+			'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
+			multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
+			string(s).  Note that such command can affect the
+			current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
+			feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
+			through kernel command line is meaningful.  But it may
+			still not able to affect the final state of a string if
+			there are quirks related to this string.  This command
+			is useful when one want to control the state of the
+			feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
+			the OSPM features.
+			Examples:
+			  1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
+			     '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
+			  2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
+			     '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
+			  3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
+			     equivalent to
+			     'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'
+			     and
+			     'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',
+			     they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
+
+	acpi_pm_good	[X86]
+			Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
+			to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
+			and always returns good values.
+
+	acpi_sci=	[HW,ACPI] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
+			Format: { level | edge | high | low }
+
+	acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
+			Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
+			For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.
+
+	acpi_sleep=	[HW,ACPI] Sleep options
+			Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
+				  old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable, nobl }
+			See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
+			s3_bios and s3_mode.
+			s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
+			as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
+			s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
+			used during resume from hibernation.
+			old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
+			control method, with respect to putting devices into
+			low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
+			of _PTS is used by default).
+			nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
+			ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
+			sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
+			on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
+			but some broken systems don't work without it).
+			nobl causes the internal blacklist of systems known to
+			behave incorrectly in some ways with respect to system
+			suspend and resume to be ignored (use wisely).
+
+	acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI]
+			Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
+			that require a timer override, but don't have HPET
+
+	add_efi_memmap	[EFI; X86] Include EFI memory map in
+			kernel's map of available physical RAM.
+
+	agp=		[AGP]
+			{ off | try_unsupported }
+			off: disable AGP support
+			try_unsupported: try to drive unsupported chipsets
+				(may crash computer or cause data corruption)
+
+	ALSA		[HW,ALSA]
+			See Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst
+
+	alignment=	[KNL,ARM]
+			Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
+			behaviour to be specified.  Bit 0 enables warnings,
+			bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.
+
+	align_va_addr=	[X86-64]
+			Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
+			allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
+			gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
+			machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
+			CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
+			a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.
+
+			32: only for 32-bit processes
+			64: only for 64-bit processes
+			on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
+			off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
+
+	alloc_snapshot	[FTRACE]
+			Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
+			main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
+			and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
+			do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
+			to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.
+
+	amd_iommu=	[HW,X86-64]
+			Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
+			Possible values are:
+			fullflush - enable flushing of IO/TLB entries when
+				    they are unmapped. Otherwise they are
+				    flushed before they will be reused, which
+				    is a lot of faster
+			off	  - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
+				    the system
+			force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
+					  devices. The IOMMU driver is not
+					  allowed anymore to lift isolation
+					  requirements as needed. This option
+					  does not override iommu=pt
+
+	amd_iommu_dump=	[HW,X86-64]
+			Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
+			for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
+			driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
+			IOMMU initialization.
+
+	amd_iommu_intr=	[HW,X86-64]
+			Specifies one of the following AMD IOMMU interrupt
+			remapping modes:
+			legacy     - Use legacy interrupt remapping mode.
+			vapic      - Use virtual APIC mode, which allows IOMMU
+			             to inject interrupts directly into guest.
+			             This mode requires kvm-amd.avic=1.
+			             (Default when IOMMU HW support is present.)
+
+	amijoy.map=	[HW,JOY] Amiga joystick support
+			Map of devices attached to JOY0DAT and JOY1DAT
+			Format: <a>,<b>
+			See also Documentation/input/joydev/joystick.rst
+
+	analog.map=	[HW,JOY] Analog joystick and gamepad support
+			Specifies type or capabilities of an analog joystick
+			connected to one of 16 gameports
+			Format: <type1>,<type2>,..<type16>
+
+	apc=		[HW,SPARC]
+			Power management functions (SPARCstation-4/5 + deriv.)
+			Format: noidle
+			Disable APC CPU standby support. SPARCstation-Fox does
+			not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
+			APC and your system crashes randomly.
+
+	apic=		[APIC,X86] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
+			Change the output verbosity whilst booting
+			Format: { quiet (default) | verbose | debug }
+			Change the amount of debugging information output
+			when initialising the APIC and IO-APIC components.
+			For X86-32, this can also be used to specify an APIC
+			driver name.
+			Format: apic=driver_name
+			Examples: apic=bigsmp
+
+	apic_extnmi=	[APIC,X86] External NMI delivery setting
+			Format: { bsp (default) | all | none }
+			bsp:  External NMI is delivered only to CPU 0
+			all:  External NMIs are broadcast to all CPUs as a
+			      backup of CPU 0
+			none: External NMI is masked for all CPUs. This is
+			      useful so that a dump capture kernel won't be
+			      shot down by NMI
+
+	autoconf=	[IPV6]
+			See Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt.
+
+	show_lapic=	[APIC,X86] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
+			Limit apic dumping. The parameter defines the maximal
+			number of local apics being dumped. Also it is possible
+			to set it to "all" by meaning -- no limit here.
+			Format: { 1 (default) | 2 | ... | all }.
+			The parameter valid if only apic=debug or
+			apic=verbose is specified.
+			Example: apic=debug show_lapic=all
+
+	apm=		[APM] Advanced Power Management
+			See header of arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c.
+
+	arcrimi=	[HW,NET] ARCnet - "RIM I" (entirely mem-mapped) cards
+			Format: <io>,<irq>,<nodeID>
+
+	ataflop=	[HW,M68k]
+
+	atarimouse=	[HW,MOUSE] Atari Mouse
+
+	atkbd.extra=	[HW] Enable extra LEDs and keys on IBM RapidAccess,
+			EzKey and similar keyboards
+
+	atkbd.reset=	[HW] Reset keyboard during initialization
+
+	atkbd.set=	[HW] Select keyboard code set
+			Format: <int> (2 = AT (default), 3 = PS/2)
+
+	atkbd.scroll=	[HW] Enable scroll wheel on MS Office and similar
+			keyboards
+
+	atkbd.softraw=	[HW] Choose between synthetic and real raw mode
+			Format: <bool> (0 = real, 1 = synthetic (default))
+
+	atkbd.softrepeat= [HW]
+			Use software keyboard repeat
+
+	audit=		[KNL] Enable the audit sub-system
+			Format: { "0" | "1" | "off" | "on" }
+			0 | off - kernel audit is disabled and can not be
+			    enabled until the next reboot
+			unset - kernel audit is initialized but disabled and
+			    will be fully enabled by the userspace auditd.
+			1 | on - kernel audit is initialized and partially
+			    enabled, storing at most audit_backlog_limit
+			    messages in RAM until it is fully enabled by the
+			    userspace auditd.
+			Default: unset
+
+	audit_backlog_limit= [KNL] Set the audit queue size limit.
+			Format: <int> (must be >=0)
+			Default: 64
+
+	bau=		[X86_UV] Enable the BAU on SGI UV.  The default
+			behavior is to disable the BAU (i.e. bau=0).
+			Format: { "0" | "1" }
+			0 - Disable the BAU.
+			1 - Enable the BAU.
+			unset - Disable the BAU.
+
+	baycom_epp=	[HW,AX25]
+			Format: <io>,<mode>
+
+	baycom_par=	[HW,AX25] BayCom Parallel Port AX.25 Modem
+			Format: <io>,<mode>
+			See header of drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_par.c.
+
+	baycom_ser_fdx=	[HW,AX25]
+			BayCom Serial Port AX.25 Modem (Full Duplex Mode)
+			Format: <io>,<irq>,<mode>[,<baud>]
+			See header of drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_ser_fdx.c.
+
+	baycom_ser_hdx=	[HW,AX25]
+			BayCom Serial Port AX.25 Modem (Half Duplex Mode)
+			Format: <io>,<irq>,<mode>
+			See header of drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_ser_hdx.c.
+
+	blkdevparts=	Manual partition parsing of block device(s) for
+			embedded devices based on command line input.
+			See Documentation/block/cmdline-partition.txt
+
+	boot_delay=	Milliseconds to delay each printk during boot.
+			Values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are changed to
+			no delay (0).
+			Format: integer
+
+	bootmem_debug	[KNL] Enable bootmem allocator debug messages.
+
+	bert_disable	[ACPI]
+			Disable BERT OS support on buggy BIOSes.
+
+	bttv.card=	[HW,V4L] bttv (bt848 + bt878 based grabber cards)
+	bttv.radio=	Most important insmod options are available as
+			kernel args too.
+	bttv.pll=	See Documentation/media/v4l-drivers/bttv.rst
+	bttv.tuner=
+
+	bulk_remove=off	[PPC]  This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
+			firmware feature for flushing multiple hpte entries
+			at a time.
+
+	c101=		[NET] Moxa C101 synchronous serial card
+
+	cachesize=	[BUGS=X86-32] Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.
+			Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache
+			size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt work arounds
+			to fix known problems, but for some CPUs it is not
+			possible to determine what the correct size should be.
+			This option provides an override for these situations.
+
+	ca_keys=	[KEYS] This parameter identifies a specific key(s) on
+			the system trusted keyring to be used for certificate
+			trust validation.
+			format: { id:<keyid> | builtin }
+
+	cca=		[MIPS] Override the kernel pages' cache coherency
+			algorithm.  Accepted values range from 0 to 7
+			inclusive. See arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h
+			for platform specific values (SB1, Loongson3 and
+			others).
+
+	ccw_timeout_log	[S390]
+			See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.
+
+	cgroup_disable=	[KNL] Disable a particular controller
+			Format: {name of the controller(s) to disable}
+			The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
+			- foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in
+			  a single hierarchy
+			- foo isn't visible as an individually mountable
+			  subsystem
+			{Currently only "memory" controller deal with this and
+			cut the overhead, others just disable the usage. So
+			only cgroup_disable=memory is actually worthy}
+
+	cgroup_no_v1=	[KNL] Disable one, multiple, all cgroup controllers in v1
+			Format: { controller[,controller...] | "all" }
+			Like cgroup_disable, but only applies to cgroup v1;
+			the blacklisted controllers remain available in cgroup2.
+
+	cgroup.memory=	[KNL] Pass options to the cgroup memory controller.
+			Format: <string>
+			nosocket -- Disable socket memory accounting.
+			nokmem -- Disable kernel memory accounting.
+
+	checkreqprot	[SELINUX] Set initial checkreqprot flag value.
+			Format: { "0" | "1" }
+			See security/selinux/Kconfig help text.
+			0 -- check protection applied by kernel (includes
+				any implied execute protection).
+			1 -- check protection requested by application.
+			Default value is set via a kernel config option.
+			Value can be changed at runtime via
+				/selinux/checkreqprot.
+
+	cio_ignore=	[S390]
+			See Documentation/s390/CommonIO for details.
+	clk_ignore_unused
+			[CLK]
+			Prevents the clock framework from automatically gating
+			clocks that have not been explicitly enabled by a Linux
+			device driver but are enabled in hardware at reset or
+			by the bootloader/firmware. Note that this does not
+			force such clocks to be always-on nor does it reserve
+			those clocks in any way. This parameter is useful for
+			debug and development, but should not be needed on a
+			platform with proper driver support.  For more
+			information, see Documentation/driver-api/clk.rst.
+
+	clock=		[BUGS=X86-32, HW] gettimeofday clocksource override.
+			[Deprecated]
+			Forces specified clocksource (if available) to be used
+			when calculating gettimeofday(). If specified
+			clocksource is not available, it defaults to PIT.
+			Format: { pit | tsc | cyclone | pmtmr }
+
+	clocksource=	Override the default clocksource
+			Format: <string>
+			Override the default clocksource and use the clocksource
+			with the name specified.
+			Some clocksource names to choose from, depending on
+			the platform:
+			[all] jiffies (this is the base, fallback clocksource)
+			[ACPI] acpi_pm
+			[ARM] imx_timer1,OSTS,netx_timer,mpu_timer2,
+				pxa_timer,timer3,32k_counter,timer0_1
+			[X86-32] pit,hpet,tsc;
+				scx200_hrt on Geode; cyclone on IBM x440
+			[MIPS] MIPS
+			[PARISC] cr16
+			[S390] tod
+			[SH] SuperH
+			[SPARC64] tick
+			[X86-64] hpet,tsc
+
+	clocksource.arm_arch_timer.evtstrm=
+			[ARM,ARM64]
+			Format: <bool>
+			Enable/disable the eventstream feature of the ARM
+			architected timer so that code using WFE-based polling
+			loops can be debugged more effectively on production
+			systems.
+
+	clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries= [KNL]
+			Number of clocksource_watchdog() retries due to
+			external delays before the clock will be marked
+			unstable.  Defaults to three retries, that is,
+			four attempts to read the clock under test.
+
+	clearcpuid=BITNUM[,BITNUM...] [X86]
+			Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
+			arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h for the valid bit
+			numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
+			stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
+			ones should be.
+			Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
+			or using the feature without checking anything
+			will still see it. This just prevents it from
+			being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
+			Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
+			some critical bits.
+
+	cma=nn[MG]@[start[MG][-end[MG]]]
+			[ARM,X86,KNL]
+			Sets the size of kernel global memory area for
+			contiguous memory allocations and optionally the
+			placement constraint by the physical address range of

+		syslog
+			Switch to syslog format: "<%u>[time stamp] text\n"
+			IOW, each message will have a facility and loglevel

+
+	crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
+			[KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
+			upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
+			memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
+			image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
+			is selected automatically. Check
+			Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for further details.
+
+	crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
+			[KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
+			in the running system. The syntax of range is
+			start-[end] where start and end are both
+			a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
+			Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt for an example.
+
+	crashkernel=size[KMG],high
+			[KNL, x86_64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
+			to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
+			be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.
+			Otherwise memory region will be allocated below 4G, if
+			available.
+			It will be ignored if crashkernel=X is specified.
+	crashkernel=size[KMG],low
+			[KNL, x86_64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
+			is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
+			above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
+			that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
+			requires at least 64M+32K low memory, also enough extra
+			low memory is needed to make sure DMA buffers for 32-bit
+			devices won't run out. Kernel would try to allocate at
+			at least 256M below 4G automatically.
+			This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
+			for second kernel instead.
+			0: to disable low allocation.
+			It will be ignored when crashkernel=X,high is not used
+			or memory reserved is below 4G.

+
+	debug		[KNL] Enable kernel debugging (events log level).
+
+	debug_boot_weak_hash
+			[KNL] Enable printing [hashed] pointers early in the
+			boot sequence.  If enabled, we use a weak hash instead
+			of siphash to hash pointers.  Use this option if you are
+			seeing instances of '(___ptrval___)') and need to see a
+			value (hashed pointer) instead. Cryptographically
+			insecure, please do not use on production kernels.
+
+	debug_locks_verbose=
+			[KNL] verbose self-tests
+			Format=<0|1>
+			Print debugging info while doing the locking API
+			self-tests.
+			We default to 0 (no extra messages), setting it to

+
+	debug_objects	[KNL] Enable object debugging
+
+	no_debug_objects
+			[KNL] Disable object debugging
+
+	debug_guardpage_minorder=
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
+			parameter allows control of the order of pages that will
+			be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
+			buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
+			of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
+			amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
+			possible value is MAX_ORDER/2.  Setting this parameter
+			to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
+			memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
+			driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
+			random memory location. Note that there exists a class
+			of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
+			F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
+			memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
+			bypassed) which are not detectable by
+			CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
+			tracking down these problems.
+
+	debug_pagealloc=
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
+			parameter enables the feature at boot time. In
+			default, it is disabled. We can avoid allocating huge
+			chunk of memory for debug pagealloc if we don't enable
+			it at boot time and the system will work mostly same
+			with the kernel built without CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

+			Defaults to the default architecture's huge page size
+			if not specified.
+
+	deferred_probe_timeout=
+			[KNL] Debugging option to set a timeout in seconds for
+			deferred probe to give up waiting on dependencies to
+			probe. Only specific dependencies (subsystems or
+			drivers) that have opted in will be ignored. A timeout of 0
+			will timeout at the end of initcalls. This option will also
+			dump out devices still on the deferred probe list after
+			retrying.
+
+	dhash_entries=	[KNL]
+			Set number of hash buckets for dentry cache.
+
+	disable_1tb_segments [PPC]
+			Disables the use of 1TB hash page table segments. This

+                        usercopy checking is used to protect the kernel
+                        from reading or writing beyond known memory
+                        allocation boundaries as a proactive defense

+
+	disable_cpu_apicid= [X86,APIC,SMP]
+			Format: <int>
+			The number of initial APIC ID for the

+			mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to
+			disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without
+			causing system reset or hang due to sending
+			INIT from AP to BSP.
+
+	disable_ddw	[PPC/PSERIES]
+			Disable Dynamic DMA Window support. Use this if
+			to workaround buggy firmware.
+
+	disable_ipv6=	[IPV6]
+			See Documentation/networking/ipv6.txt.
+
+	disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
+			The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
+			to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB
+			entry later. This parameter disables that.
+
+	disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
+			By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
+			memory out of your available memory pool based on
+			MTRR settings.  This parameter disables that behavior,
+			possibly causing your machine to run very slowly.
+
+	disable_timer_pin_1 [X86]
+			Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
+			Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.
+
+	dis_ucode_ldr	[X86] Disable the microcode loader.
+
+	dma_debug=off	If the kernel is compiled with DMA_API_DEBUG support,
+			this option disables the debugging code at boot.
+
+	dma_debug_entries=<number>
+			This option allows to tune the number of preallocated
+			entries for DMA-API debugging code. One entry is
+			required per DMA-API allocation. Use this if the
+			DMA-API debugging code disables itself because the
+			architectural default is too low.
+
+	dma_debug_driver=<driver_name>
+			With this option the DMA-API debugging driver
+			filter feature can be enabled at boot time. Just
+			pass the driver to filter for as the parameter.
+			The filter can be disabled or changed to another
+			driver later using sysfs.
+
+	drm.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>[,[<connector>:]<file>]
+			Broken monitors, graphic adapters, KVMs and EDIDless
+			panels may send no or incorrect EDID data sets.
+			This parameter allows to specify an EDID data sets
+			in the /lib/firmware directory that are used instead.
+			Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
+			edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
+			edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
+			and no file with the same name exists. Details and
+			instructions how to build your own EDID data are
+			available in Documentation/EDID/HOWTO.txt. An EDID
+			data set will only be used for a particular connector,
+			if its name and a colon are prepended to the EDID
+			name. Each connector may use a unique EDID data
+			set by separating the files with a comma.  An EDID
+			data set with no connector name will be used for

+			[DRM] Invert the sense of the variable that is used to
+			set the brightness of the panel backlight. Normally a
+			brightness value of 0 indicates backlight switched off,
+			and the maximum of the brightness value sets the backlight
+			to maximum brightness. If this parameter is set to 0

+
+	ide-generic.probe-mask= [HW] (E)IDE subsystem
+			Format: <int>
+			Probe mask for legacy ISA IDE ports.  Depending on
+			platform up to 6 ports are supported, enabled by
+			setting corresponding bits in the mask to 1.  The
+			default value is 0x0, which has a special meaning.
+			On systems that have PCI, it triggers scanning the
+			PCI bus for the first and the second port, which
+			are then probed.  On systems without PCI the value
+			of 0x0 enables probing the two first ports as if it
+			was 0x3.
+

+			Claim all unknown PCI IDE storage controllers.
+
+	idle=		[X86]
+			Format: idle=poll, idle=halt, idle=nomwait
+			Poll forces a polling idle loop that can slightly
+			improve the performance of waking up a idle CPU, but
+			will use a lot of power and make the system run hot.
+			Not recommended.
+			idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.

+			idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states
+
+	ieee754=	[MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
+			Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed }
+			Default: strict
+
+			Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
+			based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
+			the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
+			of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
+			binary.  Hardware implementations are permitted to
+			support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
+			encoding mode.
+
+			Available settings are as follows:
+			strict	accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
+				supported by the FPU
+			legacy	only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
+				by the FPU
+			2008	only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
+				by the FPU
+			relaxed	accept any binaries regardless of whether
+				supported by the FPU
+
+			The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
+			encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
+			been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
+			'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
+			'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
+			2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
+			legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
+			MIPS64 CPUs.
+
+			The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
+			mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
+			except where unsupported by hardware.
+
+	ignore_loglevel	[KNL]
+			Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/
+			kernel messages to the console. Useful for debugging.

+
+			The "tcb" policy measures all programs exec'd, files
+			mmap'd for exec, and all files opened with the read
+			mode bit set by either the effective uid (euid=0) or
+			uid=0.
+
+			The "appraise_tcb" policy appraises the integrity of
+			all files owned by root. (This is the equivalent
+			of ima_appraise_tcb.)
+
+			The "secure_boot" policy appraises the integrity
+			of files (eg. kexec kernel image, kernel modules,
+			firmware, policy, etc) based on file signatures.
+
+			The "fail_securely" policy forces file signature
+			verification failure also on privileged mounted
+			filesystems with the SB_I_UNVERIFIABLE_SIGNATURE
+			flag.
+
+	ima_tcb		[IMA] Deprecated.  Use ima_policy= instead.
+			Load a policy which meets the needs of the Trusted
+			Computing Base.  This means IMA will measure all
+			programs exec'd, files mmap'd for exec, and all files
+			opened for read by uid=0.
+
+	ima_template=	[IMA]
+			Select one of defined IMA measurements template formats.
+			Formats: { "ima" | "ima-ng" | "ima-sig" }

+		on
+			Enable intel iommu driver.
+		off
+			Disable intel iommu driver.
+		igfx_off [Default Off]
+			By default, gfx is mapped as normal device. If a gfx
+			device has a dedicated DMAR unit, the DMAR unit is
+			bypassed by not enabling DMAR with this option. In
+			this case, gfx device will use physical address for
+			DMA.
+		forcedac [x86_64]
+			With this option iommu will not optimize to look
+			for io virtual address below 32-bit forcing dual
+			address cycle on pci bus for cards supporting greater
+			than 32-bit addressing. The default is to look
+			for translation below 32-bit and if not available
+			then look in the higher range.
+		strict [Default Off]
+			With this option on every unmap_single operation will
+			result in a hardware IOTLB flush operation as opposed
+			to batching them for performance.
+		sp_off [Default Off]
+			By default, super page will be supported if Intel IOMMU
+			has the capability. With this option, super page will
+			not be supported.
+		ecs_off [Default Off]
+			By default, extended context tables will be supported if
+			the hardware advertises that it has support both for the
+			extended tables themselves, and also PASID support. With
+			this option set, extended tables will not be used even
+			on hardware which claims to support them.
+		tboot_noforce [Default Off]
+			Do not force the Intel IOMMU enabled under tboot.
+			By default, tboot will force Intel IOMMU on, which
+			could harm performance of some high-throughput
+			devices like 40GBit network cards, even if identity
+			mapping is enabled.
+			Note that using this option lowers the security
+			provided by tboot because it makes the system
+			vulnerable to DMA attacks.
+
+	intel_idle.max_cstate=	[KNL,HW,ACPI,X86]
+			0	disables intel_idle and fall back on acpi_idle.

+			  Do not enable intel_pstate as the default
+			  scaling driver for the supported processors
+			passive
+			  Use intel_pstate as a scaling driver, but configure it

+			  enabling its internal governor).  This mode cannot be
+			  used along with the hardware-managed P-states (HWP)
+			  feature.
+			force
+			  Enable intel_pstate on systems that prohibit it by default
+			  in favor of acpi-cpufreq. Forcing the intel_pstate driver
+			  instead of acpi-cpufreq may disable platform features, such
+			  as thermal controls and power capping, that rely on ACPI
+			  P-States information being indicated to OSPM and therefore
+			  should be used with caution. This option does not work with
+			  processors that aren't supported by the intel_pstate driver
+			  or on platforms that use pcc-cpufreq instead of acpi-cpufreq.
+			no_hwp
+			  Do not enable hardware P state control (HWP)
+			  if available.
+			hwp_only
+			  Only load intel_pstate on systems which support
+			  hardware P state control (HWP) if available.
+			support_acpi_ppc
+			  Enforce ACPI _PPC performance limits. If the Fixed ACPI
+			  Description Table, specifies preferred power management
+			  profile as "Enterprise Server" or "Performance Server",
+			  then this feature is turned on by default.
+			per_cpu_perf_limits
+			  Allow per-logical-CPU P-State performance control limits using
+			  cpufreq sysfs interface

+	kernelcore=	[KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC]
+			Format: nn[KMGTPE] | nn% | "mirror"
+			This parameter specifies the amount of memory usable by
+			the kernel for non-movable allocations.  The requested
+			amount is spread evenly throughout all nodes in the
+			system as ZONE_NORMAL.  The remaining memory is used for
+			movable memory in its own zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  In the
+			event, a node is too small to have both ZONE_NORMAL and
+			ZONE_MOVABLE, kernelcore memory will take priority and
+			other nodes will have a larger ZONE_MOVABLE.
+
+			ZONE_MOVABLE is used for the allocation of pages that
+			may be reclaimed or moved by the page migration
+			subsystem.  Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem
+			still use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
+			zone if it does not.
+
+			It is possible to specify the exact amount of memory in
+			the form of "nn[KMGTPE]", a percentage of total system
+			memory in the form of "nn%", or "mirror".  If "mirror"
+			option is specified, mirrored (reliable) memory is used
+			for non-movable allocations and remaining memory is used
+			for Movable pages.  "nn[KMGTPE]", "nn%", and "mirror"
+			are exclusive, so you cannot specify multiple forms.

+
+			In vulnerable processors, the speculatively

+			attack, to access data to which the attacker does
+			not have direct access.
+
+			This parameter controls the MDS mitigation. The

+
+			full       - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
+			full,nosmt - Enable MDS mitigation and disable
+				     SMT on vulnerable CPUs
+			off        - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation
+
+			On TAA-affected machines, mds=off can be prevented by
+			an active TAA mitigation as both vulnerabilities are

+			Setting this option will scan the memory
+			looking for corruption.  Enabling this will
+			both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
+			from using the memory being corrupted.
+			However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
+			repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
+			affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
+			to prevent the kernel from using that memory.
+
+	memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
+			By default it checks for corruption in the low
+			64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
+			use.  Use this parameter to scan for
+			corruption in more or less memory.
+
+	memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
+			By default it checks for corruption every 60
+			seconds.  Use this parameter to check at some
+			other rate.  0 disables periodic checking.
+
+	memtest=	[KNL,X86,ARM] Enable memtest
+			Format: <integer>
+			default : 0 <disable>
+			Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
+			performed. Each pass selects another test
+			pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
+			fills the memory with this pattern, validates
+			memory contents and reserves bad memory
+			regions that are detected.
+
+	mem_encrypt=	[X86-64] AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) control
+			Valid arguments: on, off
+			Default (depends on kernel configuration option):
+			  on  (CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT=y)
+			  off (CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT=n)
+			mem_encrypt=on:		Activate SME

+			platforms.
+
+	mfgptfix	[X86-32] Fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when
+			the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS

+			problem by letting the user disable the workaround.
+
+	mga=		[HW,DRM]
+
+	min_addr=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory below this
+			physical address is ignored.
+
+	mini2440=	[ARM,HW,KNL]
+			Format:[0..2][b][c][t]
+			Default: "0tb"
+			MINI2440 configuration specification:
+			0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
+			1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
+			2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
+			Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
+			the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
+			unconfigured.
+			b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
+			linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
+			LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
+			VGA shield.
+			c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
+			t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
+			touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream
+			kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
+			in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
+			http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
+
+	mitigations=
+			[X86,PPC,S390,ARM64] Control optional mitigations for
+			CPU vulnerabilities.  This is a set of curated,
+			arch-independent options, each of which is an
+			aggregation of existing arch-specific options.
+
+			off
+				Disable all optional CPU mitigations.  This

+				users who don't want to be surprised by SMT
+				getting disabled across kernel upgrades, or who
+				have other ways of avoiding SMT-based attacks.
+				Equivalent to: (default behavior)
+
+			auto,nosmt
+				Mitigate all CPU vulnerabilities, disabling SMT
+				if needed.  This is for users who always want to
+				be fully mitigated, even if it means losing SMT.
+				Equivalent to: l1tf=flush,nosmt [X86]

+					       tsx_async_abort=full,nosmt [X86]
+					       mmio_stale_data=full,nosmt [X86]
+
+	mminit_loglevel=
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
+			parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
+			the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
+			of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
+			log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
+			so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.
+
+	mmio_stale_data=
+			[X86,INTEL] Control mitigation for the Processor
+			MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.
+
+			Processor MMIO Stale Data is a class of
+			vulnerabilities that may expose data after an MMIO
+			operation. Exposed data could originate or end in
+			the same CPU buffers as affected by MDS and TAA.
+			Therefore, similar to MDS and TAA, the mitigation
+			is to clear the affected CPU buffers.
+
+			This parameter controls the mitigation. The
+			options are:
+
+			full       - Enable mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
+
+			full,nosmt - Enable mitigation and disable SMT on
+				     vulnerable CPUs.
+
+			off        - Unconditionally disable mitigation
+
+			On MDS or TAA affected machines,
+			mmio_stale_data=off can be prevented by an active
+			MDS or TAA mitigation as these vulnerabilities are
+			mitigated with the same mechanism so in order to
+			disable this mitigation, you need to specify
+			mds=off and tsx_async_abort=off too.
+
+			Not specifying this option is equivalent to
+			mmio_stale_data=full.
+
+			For details see:
+			Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.rst
+
+	module.sig_enforce
+			[KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, this means that
+			modules without (valid) signatures will fail to load.
+			Note that if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is set, that
+			is always true, so this option does nothing.
+
+	module_blacklist=  [KNL] Do not load a comma-separated list of
+			modules.  Useful for debugging problem modules.
+
+	mousedev.tap_time=
+			[MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
+			leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
+			a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
+			touchpads working in absolute mode only).
+			Format: <msecs>
+	mousedev.xres=	[MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
+			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
+	mousedev.yres=	[MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
+			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
+
+	movablecore=	[KNL,X86,IA-64,PPC]
+			Format: nn[KMGTPE] | nn%
+			This parameter is the complement to kernelcore=, it
+			specifies the amount of memory used for migratable
+			allocations.  If both kernelcore and movablecore is
+			specified, then kernelcore will be at *least* the
+			specified value but may be more.  If movablecore on its
+			own is specified, the administrator must be careful
+			that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
+			is not too small.
+
+	movable_node	[KNL] Boot-time switch to make hotplugable memory
+			NUMA nodes to be movable. This means that the memory
+			of such nodes will be usable only for movable
+			allocations which rules out almost all kernel
+			allocations. Use with caution!
+
+	MTD_Partition=	[MTD]
+			Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>

+
+	multitce=off	[PPC]  This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
+			firmware feature for updating multiple TCE entries
+			at a time.
+
+	onenand.bdry=	[HW,MTD] Flex-OneNAND Boundary Configuration
+
+			Format: [die0_boundary][,die0_lock][,die1_boundary][,die1_lock]
+
+			boundary - index of last SLC block on Flex-OneNAND.
+				   The remaining blocks are configured as MLC blocks.
+			lock	 - Configure if Flex-OneNAND boundary should be locked.
+				   Once locked, the boundary cannot be changed.
+				   1 indicates lock status, 0 indicates unlock status.

+
+	mtrr_chunk_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
+			used for mtrr cleanup. It is largest continuous chunk
+			that could hold holes aka. UC entries.
+
+	mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
+			Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
+			Default is 1.
+			Large value could prevent small alignment from
+			using up MTRRs.
+
+	mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86]
+			Format: <integer>
+			Range: 0,7 : spare reg number
+			Default : 1
+			Used for mtrr cleanup. It is spare mtrr entries number.
+			Set to 2 or more if your graphical card needs more.

+	n2=		[NET] SDL Inc. RISCom/N2 synchronous serial card
+
+	netdev=		[NET] Network devices parameters
+			Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
+			Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
+			something different and driver-specific.
+			This usage is only documented in each driver source
+			file if at all.
+
+	nf_conntrack.acct=
+			[NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
+			0 to disable accounting
+			1 to enable accounting
+			Default value is 0.
+
+	nfsaddrs=	[NFS] Deprecated.  Use ip= instead.
+			See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+	nfsroot=	[NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes.
+			See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+	nfsrootdebug	[NFS] enable nfsroot debugging messages.
+			See Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
+
+	nfs.callback_nr_threads=
+			[NFSv4] set the total number of threads that the
+			NFS client will assign to service NFSv4 callback
+			requests.
+
+	nfs.callback_tcpport=
+			[NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
+			channel should listen.
+
+	nfs.cache_getent=
+			[NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
+			to update the NFS client cache entries.
+
+	nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
+			[NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
+			update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.
+
+	nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
+			[NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
+			entries.
+
+	nfs.enable_ino64=
+			[NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
+			If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
+			number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
+			of returning the full 64-bit number.
+			The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.
+
+	nfs.max_session_cb_slots=
+			[NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session
+			slots the client will assign to the callback
+			channel. This determines the maximum number of
+			callbacks the client will process in parallel for
+			a particular server.
+
+	nfs.max_session_slots=
+			[NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
+			the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
+			This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
+			that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
+			Note that there is little point in setting this
+			value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.
+
+	nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
+			[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
+			ensures that both the RPC level authentication
+			scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
+			numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
+			'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
+			disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
+			legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
+			Servers that do not support this mode of operation
+			will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
+			back to using the idmapper.
+			To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
+	nfs.nfs4_unique_id=
+			[NFS4] Specify an additional fixed unique ident-
+			ification string that NFSv4 clients can insert into
+			their nfs_client_id4 string.  This is typically a
+			UUID that is generated at system install time.
+
+	nfs.send_implementation_id =
+			[NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
+			information in exchange_id requests.
+			If zero, no implementation identification information
+			will be sent.
+			The default is to send the implementation identification
+			information.
+
+	nfs.recover_lost_locks =
+			[NFSv4] Attempt to recover locks that were lost due
+			to a lease timeout on the server. Please note that
+			doing this risks data corruption, since there are
+			no guarantees that the file will remain unchanged
+			after the locks are lost.
+			If you want to enable the kernel legacy behaviour of
+			attempting to recover these locks, then set this
+			parameter to '1'.
+			The default parameter value of '0' causes the kernel
+			not to attempt recovery of lost locks.
+
+	nfs4.layoutstats_timer =
+			[NFSv4.2] Change the rate at which the kernel sends
+			layoutstats to the pNFS metadata server.
+
+			Setting this to value to 0 causes the kernel to use
+			whatever value is the default set by the layout
+			driver. A non-zero value sets the minimum interval
+			in seconds between layoutstats transmissions.
+
+	nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
+			[NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
+			server will return only numeric uids and gids to
+			clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
+			and gids from such clients.  This is intended to ease
+			migration from NFSv2/v3.
+
+	nmi_debug=	[KNL,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
+			when a NMI is triggered.
+			Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]
+
+	nmi_watchdog=	[KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
+			Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
+			Valid num: 0 or 1
+			0 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog off
+			1 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog on
+			When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
+			timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to override the opposite
+			default). To disable both hard and soft lockup detectors,
+			please see 'nowatchdog'.
+			This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
+			need the box quickly up again.
+
+			These settings can be accessed at runtime via
+			the nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic sysctls.
+
+	netpoll.carrier_timeout=
+			[NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
+			netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
+			waits 4 seconds.
+
+	no387		[BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
+			emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
+			is present.
+
+	no5lvl		[X86-64] Disable 5-level paging mode. Forces
+			kernel to use 4-level paging instead.
+
+	no_console_suspend
+			[HW] Never suspend the console
+			Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
+			hibernate operations.  Once disabled, debugging
+			messages can reach various consoles while the rest
+			of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
+			debugging driver suspend/resume hooks).  This may
+			not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
+			to work with serial and VGA consoles.
+			To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
+			console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
+			it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
+			/sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
+			turn on/off it dynamically.
+
+	noaliencache	[MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
+			caches in the slab allocator.  Saves per-node memory,
+			but will impact performance.
+
+	noalign		[KNL,ARM]
+
+	noaltinstr	[S390] Disables alternative instructions patching
+			(CPU alternatives feature).
+
+	noapic		[SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any
+			IOAPICs that may be present in the system.
+
+	noautogroup	Disable scheduler automatic task group creation.
+
+	nobats		[PPC] Do not use BATs for mapping kernel lowmem
+			on "Classic" PPC cores.
+
+	nocache		[ARM]
+
+	noclflush	[BUGS=X86] Don't use the CLFLUSH instruction

+
+	noexec		[IA-64]

+			even if it is supported by processor.
+
+	nosmep		[X86]
+			Disable SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention)
+			even if it is supported by processor.
+
+	noexec32	[X86-64]
+			This affects only 32-bit executables.
+			noexec32=on: enable non-executable mappings (default)
+				read doesn't imply executable mappings
+			noexec32=off: disable non-executable mappings
+				read implies executable mappings
+
+	nofpu		[MIPS,SH] Disable hardware FPU at boot time.
+
+	nofxsr		[BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 floating point extended
+			register save and restore. The kernel will only save
+			legacy floating-point registers on task switch.
+
+	nohugeiomap	[KNL,x86] Disable kernel huge I/O mappings.
+
+	nosmt		[KNL,S390] Disable symmetric multithreading (SMT).
+			Equivalent to smt=1.
+
+			[KNL,x86] Disable symmetric multithreading (SMT).
+			nosmt=force: Force disable SMT, cannot be undone
+				     via the sysfs control file.
+
+	nospectre_v1	[X66, PPC] Disable mitigations for Spectre Variant 1
+			(bounds check bypass). With this option data leaks
+			are possible in the system.
+
+	nospectre_v2	[X86,PPC_FSL_BOOK3E,ARM64] Disable all mitigations for
+			the Spectre variant 2 (indirect branch prediction)
+			vulnerability. System may allow data leaks with this
+			option.
+
+	nospec_store_bypass_disable
+			[HW] Disable all mitigations for the Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability
+
+	no_uaccess_flush
+	                [PPC] Don't flush the L1-D cache after accessing user data.
+
+	noxsave		[BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save
+			and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
+			enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.
+
+	noxsaveopt	[X86] Disables xsaveopt used in saving x86 extended
+			register states. The kernel will fall back to use
+			xsave to save the states. By using this parameter,
+			performance of saving the states is degraded because
+			xsave doesn't support modified optimization while
+			xsaveopt supports it on xsaveopt enabled systems.
+
+	noxsaves	[X86] Disables xsaves and xrstors used in saving and
+			restoring x86 extended register state in compacted
+			form of xsave area. The kernel will fall back to use
+			xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restore the states
+			in standard form of xsave area. By using this
+			parameter, xsave area per process might occupy more
+			memory on xsaves enabled systems.
+
+	nohlt		[BUGS=ARM,SH] Tells the kernel that the sleep(SH) or
+			wfi(ARM) instruction doesn't work correctly and not to
+			use it. This is also useful when using JTAG debugger.
+
+	no_file_caps	Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities.  The
+			only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
+			is to be setuid root or executed by root.
+
+	nohalt		[IA-64] Tells the kernel not to use the power saving
+			function PAL_HALT_LIGHT when idle. This increases
+			power-consumption. On the positive side, it reduces
+			interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve performance
+			in certain environments such as networked servers or
+			real-time systems.
+
+	nohibernate	[HIBERNATION] Disable hibernation and resume.
+
+	nohz=		[KNL] Boottime enable/disable dynamic ticks
+			Valid arguments: on, off

+			The argument is a cpu list, as described above.
+			In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set
+			the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
+			whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside
+			the range to maintain the timekeeping.  Any CPUs
+			in this list will have their RCU callbacks offloaded,
+			just as if they had also been called out in the
+			rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.
+
+	noiotrap	[SH] Disables trapped I/O port accesses.
+
+	noirqdebug	[X86-32] Disables the code which attempts to detect and

+
+	nosep		[BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 SYSENTER/SYSEXIT support.
+
+	nosmp		[SMP] Tells an SMP kernel to act as a UP kernel,

+
+	nowb		[ARM]
+
+	nox2apic	[X86-64,APIC] Do not enable x2APIC mode.
+
+	cpu0_hotplug	[X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
+			CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
+			Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
+			1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
+			Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
+			need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
+			2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
+			removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
+			It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
+			machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
+			after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
+			If the dependencies are under your control, you can
+			turn on cpu0_hotplug.
+
+	nps_mtm_hs_ctr=	[KNL,ARC]
+			This parameter sets the maximum duration, in
+			cycles, each HW thread of the CTOP can run
+			without interruptions, before HW switches it.
+			The actual maximum duration is 16 times this
+			parameter's value.
+			Format: integer between 1 and 255
+			Default: 255
+
+	nptcg=		[IA-64] Override max number of concurrent global TLB
+			purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or
+			SAL PALO.
+
+	nr_cpus=	[SMP] Maximum number of processors that	an SMP kernel
+			could support.  nr_cpus=n : n >= 1 limits the kernel to
+			support 'n' processors. It could be larger than the
+			number of already plugged CPU during bootup, later in
+			runtime you can physically add extra cpu until it reaches
+			n. So during boot up some boot time memory for per-cpu
+			variables need be pre-allocated for later physical cpu
+			hot plugging.
+
+	nr_uarts=	[SERIAL] maximum number of UARTs to be registered.
+
+	numa_balancing=	[KNL,X86] Enable or disable automatic NUMA balancing.
+			Allowed values are enable and disable
+
+	numa_zonelist_order= [KNL, BOOT] Select zonelist order for NUMA.

+	ohci1394_dma=early	[HW] enable debugging via the ohci1394 driver.
+			See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more
+			info.
+
+	olpc_ec_timeout= [OLPC] ms delay when issuing EC commands
+			Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC
+			command is not properly ACKed, override the length
+			of the timeout.  We have interrupts disabled while
+			waiting for the ACK, so if this is set too high
+			interrupts *may* be lost!
+
+	omap_mux=	[OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.
+			Format: <mux_mode0.mode_name=value>...
+			For example, to override I2C bus2:
+			omap_mux=i2c2_scl.i2c2_scl=0x100,i2c2_sda.i2c2_sda=0x100
+
+	oprofile.timer=	[HW]
+			Use timer interrupt instead of performance counters
+
+	oprofile.cpu_type=	Force an oprofile cpu type
+			This might be useful if you have an older oprofile
+			userland or if you want common events.
+			Format: { arch_perfmon }
+			arch_perfmon: [X86] Force use of architectural
+				perfmon on Intel CPUs instead of the
+				CPU specific event set.
+			timer: [X86] Force use of architectural NMI
+				timer mode (see also oprofile.timer
+				for generic hr timer mode)
+
+	oops=panic	Always panic on oopses. Default is to just kill the
+			process, but there is a small probability of
+			deadlocking the machine.
+			This will also cause panics on machine check exceptions.
+			Useful together with panic=30 to trigger a reboot.
+
+	page_owner=	[KNL] Boot-time page_owner enabling option.
+			Storage of the information about who allocated
+			each page is disabled in default. With this switch,
+			we can turn it on.
+			on: enable the feature
+
+	page_poison=	[KNL] Boot-time parameter changing the state of
+			poisoning on the buddy allocator, available with
+			CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING=y.
+			off: turn off poisoning (default)
+			on: turn on poisoning
+
+	panic=		[KNL] Kernel behaviour on panic: delay <timeout>
+			timeout > 0: seconds before rebooting
+			timeout = 0: wait forever
+			timeout < 0: reboot immediately
+			Format: <timeout>
+
+	panic_on_warn	panic() instead of WARN().  Useful to cause kdump
+			on a WARN().
+
+	crash_kexec_post_notifiers
+			Run kdump after running panic-notifiers and dumping
+			kmsg. This only for the users who doubt kdump always
+			succeeds in any situation.
+			Note that this also increases risks of kdump failure,
+			because some panic notifiers can make the crashed
+			kernel more unstable.
+
+	parkbd.port=	[HW] Parallel port number the keyboard adapter is
+			connected to, default is 0.
+			Format: <parport#>
+	parkbd.mode=	[HW] Parallel port keyboard adapter mode of operation,
+			0 for XT, 1 for AT (default is AT).
+			Format: <mode>
+
+	parport=	[HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables.
+			Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] }
+			Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any
+			IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to
+			ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of
+			possible conflicts). You can specify the base
+			address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
+			should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
+			settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
+			(to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
+			Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
+			are specified on the command line, starting
+			with parport0.
+
+	parport_init_mode=	[HW,PPT]
+			Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
+			a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos
+			computer where firmware has no options for setting
+			up parallel port mode and sets it to spp.
+			Currently this function knows 686a and 8231 chips.
+			Format: [spp|ps2|epp|ecp|ecpepp]
+
+	pause_on_oops=
+			Halt all CPUs after the first oops has been printed for
+			the specified number of seconds.  This is to be used if
+			your oopses keep scrolling off the screen.

+	pcbit=		[HW,ISDN]
+
+	pcd.		[PARIDE]
+			See header of drivers/block/paride/pcd.c.

+
+	pci=option[,option...]	[PCI] various PCI subsystem options.
+
+				Some options herein operate on a specific device
+				or a set of devices (<pci_dev>). These are
+				specified in one of the following formats:
+
+				[<domain>:]<bus>:<dev>.<func>[/<dev>.<func>]*
+				pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>]
+
+				Note: the first format specifies a PCI
+				bus/device/function address which may change
+				if new hardware is inserted, if motherboard
+				firmware changes, or due to changes caused
+				by other kernel parameters. If the
+				domain is left unspecified, it is
+				taken to be zero. Optionally, a path
+				to a device through multiple device/function
+				addresses can be specified after the base
+				address (this is more robust against
+				renumbering issues).  The second format
+				selects devices using IDs from the
+				configuration space which may match multiple
+				devices in the system.
+
+		earlydump	dump PCI config space before the kernel
+				changes anything
+		off		[X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
+		bios		[X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
+				the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
+				has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
+		nobios		[X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
+				hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
+				if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
+				suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
+		conf1		[X86] Force use of PCI Configuration Access
+				Mechanism 1 (config address in IO port 0xCF8,
+				data in IO port 0xCFC, both 32-bit).
+		conf2		[X86] Force use of PCI Configuration Access
+				Mechanism 2 (IO port 0xCF8 is an 8-bit port for
+				the function, IO port 0xCFA, also 8-bit, sets
+				bus number. The config space is then accessed
+				through ports 0xC000-0xCFFF).
+				See http://wiki.osdev.org/PCI for more info
+				on the configuration access mechanisms.
+		noaer		[PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
+				enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
+				disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
+		nodomains	[PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
+				root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
+		nommconf	[X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
+				Configuration
+		check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
+				properly configured MMIO access to PCI
+				config space on AMD family 10h CPU
+		nomsi		[MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
+				enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
+				disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
+		noioapicquirk	[APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
+				Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
+				should never be necessary.
+		ioapicreroute	[APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
+				primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
+				boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
+				when the system masks IRQs.
+		noioapicreroute	[APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
+				boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
+				a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
+				The opposite of ioapicreroute.
+		biosirq		[X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
+				routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
+				on several machines and they hang the machine
+				when used, but on other computers it's the only
+				way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
+				this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
+				IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
+				motherboard.
+		rom		[X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
+				Use with caution as certain devices share
+				address decoders between ROMs and other
+				resources.
+		norom		[X86] Do not assign address space to
+				expansion ROMs that do not already have
+				BIOS assigned address ranges.
+		nobar		[X86] Do not assign address space to the
+				BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
+		irqmask=0xMMMM	[X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
+				assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
+				make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
+				this way.
+		pirqaddr=0xAAAAA	[X86] Specify the physical address
+				of the PIRQ table (normally generated
+				by the BIOS) if it is outside the
+				F0000h-100000h range.
+		lastbus=N	[X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
+				useful if the kernel is unable to find your
+				secondary buses and you want to tell it
+				explicitly which ones they are.
+		assign-busses	[X86] Always assign all PCI bus
+				numbers ourselves, overriding
+				whatever the firmware may have done.
+		usepirqmask	[X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
+				in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
+				some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
+				some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
+				notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
+				IRQ routing is enabled.
+		noacpi		[X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
+				or for PCI scanning.
+		use_crs		[X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
+				from ACPI.  On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
+				is enabled by default.  If you need to use this,
+				please report a bug.
+		nocrs		[X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
+				If you need to use this, please report a bug.
+		routeirq	Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
+				This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
+				so this option is a temporary workaround
+				for broken drivers that don't call it.
+		skip_isa_align	[X86] do not align io start addr, so can
+				handle more pci cards
+		noearly		[X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
+				This might help on some broken boards which
+				machine check when some devices' config space
+				is read. But various workarounds are disabled
+				and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
+		bfsort		Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+				This sorting is done to get a device
+				order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
+		nobfsort	Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+		pcie_bus_tune_off	Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
+				tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
+		pcie_bus_safe	Set every device's MPS to the largest value
+				supported by all devices below the root complex.
+		pcie_bus_perf	Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
+				based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max
+				Read Request Size) to the largest supported
+				value (no larger than the MPS that the device
+				or bus can support) for best performance.
+		pcie_bus_peer2peer	Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
+				every device is guaranteed to support. This
+				configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
+				any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
+				reduced performance.  This also guarantees
+				that hot-added devices will work.
+		cbiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
+				reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
+				The default value is 256 bytes.
+		cbmemsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
+				reserved for the CardBus bridge's memory
+				window. The default value is 64 megabytes.
+		resource_alignment=
+				Format:
+				[<order of align>@]<pci_dev>[; ...]
+				Specifies alignment and device to reassign
+				aligned memory resources. How to
+				specify the device is described above.
+				If <order of align> is not specified,
+				PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment.
+				PCI-PCI bridge can be specified, if resource
+				windows need to be expanded.
+				To specify the alignment for several
+				instances of a device, the PCI vendor,
+				device, subvendor, and subdevice may be
+				specified, e.g., 4096@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f
+		ecrc=		Enable/disable PCIe ECRC (transaction layer
+				end-to-end CRC checking).
+				bios: Use BIOS/firmware settings. This is the
+				the default.
+				off: Turn ECRC off
+				on: Turn ECRC on.
+		hpiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
+				reserved for hotplug bridge's IO window.
+				Default size is 256 bytes.
+		hpmemsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
+				reserved for hotplug bridge's memory window.
+				Default size is 2 megabytes.
+		hpbussize=nn	The minimum amount of additional bus numbers
+				reserved for buses below a hotplug bridge.
+				Default is 1.
+		realloc=	Enable/disable reallocating PCI bridge resources
+				if allocations done by BIOS are too small to
+				accommodate resources required by all child
+				devices.
+				off: Turn realloc off
+				on: Turn realloc on
+		realloc		same as realloc=on
+		noari		do not use PCIe ARI.
+		noats		[PCIE, Intel-IOMMU, AMD-IOMMU]
+				do not use PCIe ATS (and IOMMU device IOTLB).
+		pcie_scan_all	Scan all possible PCIe devices.  Otherwise we
+				only look for one device below a PCIe downstream
+				port.
+		big_root_window	Try to add a big 64bit memory window to the PCIe
+				root complex on AMD CPUs. Some GFX hardware
+				can resize a BAR to allow access to all VRAM.
+				Adding the window is slightly risky (it may
+				conflict with unreported devices), so this
+				taints the kernel.
+		disable_acs_redir=<pci_dev>[; ...]
+				Specify one or more PCI devices (in the format
+				specified above) separated by semicolons.
+				Each device specified will have the PCI ACS
+				redirect capabilities forced off which will
+				allow P2P traffic between devices through
+				bridges without forcing it upstream. Note:
+				this removes isolation between devices and
+				may put more devices in an IOMMU group.
+
+	pcie_aspm=	[PCIE] Forcibly enable or disable PCIe Active State Power

+
+	pd_ignore_unused
+			[PM]
+			Keep all power-domains already enabled by bootloader on,

+			real-time workloads.  It can also improve energy
+			efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.
+
+	rcu_nocb_poll	[KNL]
+			Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
+			(specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
+			awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
+			make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
+			This improves the real-time response for the
+			offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
+			wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
+			energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
+			periodically wake up to do the polling.
+
+	rcutree.blimit=	[KNL]
+			Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to
+			process in one batch.
+
+	rcutree.dump_tree=	[KNL]

+			cache-to-cache transfer latencies.
+
+	rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf= [KNL]
+			Change the number of CPUs assigned to each
+			leaf rcu_node structure.  Useful for very

+			and for NUMA systems with large remote-access
+			latencies, which will choose a value aligned
+			with the appropriate hardware boundaries.
+
+	rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs= [KNL]
+			Set required age in jiffies for a
+			given grace period before RCU starts

+
+	rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs= [KNL]
+			Set delay from grace-period initialization to

+			the priority of the RCU boost threads (rcub/N)
+			and for the RCU grace-period kthreads (rcu_bh,
+			rcu_preempt, and rcu_sched). If RCU_BOOST is
+			set, valid values are 1-99 and the default is 1
+			(the least-favored priority).  Otherwise, when
+			RCU_BOOST is not set, valid values are 0-99 and
+			the default is zero (non-realtime operation).
+
+	rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride= [KNL]
+			Set the number of NOCB kthread groups, which
+			defaults to the square root of the number of
+			CPUs.  Larger numbers reduces the wakeup overhead

+			only "lazy" RCU callbacks (RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y).
+			Lazy RCU callbacks are those which RCU can
+			prove do nothing more than free memory.
+
+	rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads= [KNL]
+			Cause the grace-period kthread to get an extra
+			wake_up() if it sleeps three times longer than
+			it should at force-quiescent-state time.
+			This wake_up() will be accompanied by a
+			WARN_ONCE() splat and an ftrace_dump().
+
+	rcuperf.gp_async= [KNL]
+			Measure performance of asynchronous
+			grace-period primitives such as call_rcu().
+
+	rcuperf.gp_async_max= [KNL]
+			Specify the maximum number of outstanding
+			callbacks per writer thread.  When a writer

+	rcuperf.gp_exp= [KNL]
+			Measure performance of expedited synchronous
+			grace-period primitives.
+
+	rcuperf.holdoff= [KNL]

+			interference.
+
+	rcuperf.nreaders= [KNL]
+			Set number of RCU readers.  The value -1 selects
+			N, where N is the number of CPUs.  A value
+			"n" less than -1 selects N-n+1, where N is again
+			the number of CPUs.  For example, -2 selects N
+			(the number of CPUs), -3 selects N+1, and so on.
+			A value of "n" less than or equal to -N selects
+			a single reader.
+
+	rcuperf.nwriters= [KNL]
+			Set number of RCU writers.  The values operate
+			the same as for rcuperf.nreaders.
+			N, where N is the number of CPUs
+
+	rcuperf.perf_type= [KNL]
+			Specify the RCU implementation to test.

+	rcuperf.verbose= [KNL]
+			Enable additional printk() statements.
+
+	rcuperf.writer_holdoff= [KNL]

+			callback-flood tests.
+
+	rcutorture.cbflood_intra_holdoff= [KNL]

+			update-side primitives, if available.
+
+	rcutorture.gp_sync= [KNL]

+			of rcutorture.gp_cond=, rcutorture.gp_exp=,
+			rcutorture.gp_normal=, and rcutorture.gp_sync=
+			are zero, rcutorture acts as if is interpreted
+			they are all non-zero.

+			Set callbacks/threads for rcu_barrier() testing.
+
+	rcutorture.nfakewriters= [KNL]

+
+	rcutorture.nreaders= [KNL]

+			N-1, where N is the number of CPUs.  A value
+			"n" less than -1 selects N-n-2, where N is again

+			Set time (jiffies) between CPU-hotplug operations,
+			or zero to disable CPU-hotplug testing.
+

+
+	rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout= [KNL]
+			Set timeout for RCU CPU stall warning messages.
+
+	rcupdate.rcu_expedited= [KNL]
+			Use expedited grace-period primitives, for
+			example, synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead
+			of synchronize_rcu().  This reduces latency,
+			but can increase CPU utilization, degrade
+			real-time latency, and degrade energy efficiency.
+			No effect on CONFIG_TINY_RCU kernels.
+
+	rcupdate.rcu_normal= [KNL]
+			Use only normal grace-period primitives,
+			for example, synchronize_rcu() instead of
+			synchronize_rcu_expedited().  This improves
+			real-time latency, CPU utilization, and
+			energy efficiency, but can expose users to
+			increased grace-period latency.  This parameter

+			CONFIG_TINY_RCU kernels.
+
+	rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot= [KNL]
+			Once boot has completed (that is, after

+			[HW] Control Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) Disable mitigation
+			(Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability)
+
+			Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against a
+			a common industry wide performance optimization known
+			as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which recent stores
+			to the same memory location may not be observed by
+			later loads during speculative execution. The idea
+			is that such stores are unlikely and that they can
+			be detected prior to instruction retirement at the
+			end of a particular speculation execution window.
+
+			In vulnerable processors, the speculatively forwarded
+			store can be used in a cache side channel attack, for
+			example to read memory to which the attacker does not
+			directly have access (e.g. inside sandboxed code).
+
+			This parameter controls whether the Speculative Store
+			Bypass optimization is used.
+
+			On x86 the options are:
+
+			on      - Unconditionally disable Speculative Store Bypass
+			off     - Unconditionally enable Speculative Store Bypass
+			auto    - Kernel detects whether the CPU model contains an
+				  implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and
+				  picks the most appropriate mitigation. If the
+				  CPU is not vulnerable, "off" is selected. If the
+				  CPU is vulnerable the default mitigation is
+				  architecture and Kconfig dependent. See below.
+			prctl   - Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread
+				  via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled
+				  for a process by default. The state of the control
+				  is inherited on fork.
+			seccomp - Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp threads
+				  will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.
+
+			Default mitigations:
+			X86:	If CONFIG_SECCOMP=y "seccomp", otherwise "prctl"
+
+			On powerpc the options are:
+
+			on,auto - On Power8 and Power9 insert a store-forwarding
+				  barrier on kernel entry and exit. On Power7
+				  perform a software flush on kernel entry and
+				  exit.
+			off	- No action.

+			[FTRACE] will set tracing buffer size on each cpu.
+
+	trace_event=[event-list]

+
+	tp_printk[FTRACE]
+			Have the tracepoints sent to printk as well as the

+			where the system hangs or reboots and does not give the
+			option for reading the tracing buffer or performing a
+			ftrace_dump_on_oops.
+
+			To turn off having tracepoints sent to printk,
+			 echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk
+			Note, echoing 1 into this file without the
+			tracepoint_printk kernel cmdline option has no effect.
+
+			** CAUTION **
+
+			Having tracepoints sent to printk() and activating high

+
+	traceoff_on_warning
+			[FTRACE] enable this option to disable tracing when a
+			warning is hit. This turns off "tracing_on". Tracing can
+			be enabled again by echoing '1' into the "tracing_on"
+			file located in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
+
+			This option is useful, as it disables the trace before
+			the WARNING dump is called, which prevents the trace to
+			be filled with content caused by the warning output.
+
+			This option can also be set at run time via the sysctl
+			option:  kernel/traceoff_on_warning

+			[x86] noirqtime: Do not use TSC to do irq accounting.
+			Used to run time disable IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING on any

+
+	tsx=		[X86] Control Transactional Synchronization
+			Extensions (TSX) feature in Intel processors that
+			support TSX control.
+
+			This parameter controls the TSX feature. The options are:
+
+			on	- Enable TSX on the system. Although there are
+				mitigations for all known security vulnerabilities,
+				TSX has been known to be an accelerator for
+				several previous speculation-related CVEs, and
+				so there may be unknown	security risks associated
+				with leaving it enabled.
+
+			off	- Disable TSX on the system. (Note that this
+				option takes effect only on newer CPUs which are
+				not vulnerable to MDS, i.e., have
+				MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.MDS_NO=1 and which get
+				the new IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR through a microcode
+				update. This new MSR allows for the reliable
+				deactivation of the TSX functionality.)
+
+			auto	- Disable TSX if X86_BUG_TAA is present,
+				  otherwise enable TSX on the system.
+
+			Not specifying this option is equivalent to tsx=off.
+
+			See Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/tsx_async_abort.rst

+
+	tsx_async_abort= [X86,INTEL] Control mitigation for the TSX Async
+			Abort (TAA) vulnerability.
+
+			Similar to Micro-architectural Data Sampling (MDS)
+			certain CPUs that support Transactional
+			Synchronization Extensions (TSX) are vulnerable to an
+			exploit against CPU internal buffers which can forward
+			information to a disclosure gadget under certain
+			conditions.
+
+			In vulnerable processors, the speculatively forwarded
+			data can be used in a cache side channel attack, to
+			access data to which the attacker does not have direct
+			access.
+
+			This parameter controls the TAA mitigation.  The
+			options are:
+
+			full       - Enable TAA mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
+				     if TSX is enabled.
+
+			full,nosmt - Enable TAA mitigation and disable SMT on
+				     vulnerable CPUs. If TSX is disabled, SMT
+				     is not disabled because CPU is not
+				     vulnerable to cross-thread TAA attacks.
+			off        - Unconditionally disable TAA mitigation
+
+			On MDS-affected machines, tsx_async_abort=off can be
+			prevented by an active MDS mitigation as both vulnerabilities
+			are mitigated with the same mechanism so in order to disable
+			this mitigation, you need to specify mds=off too.
+
+			Not specifying this option is equivalent to
+			tsx_async_abort=full.  On CPUs which are MDS affected
+			and deploy MDS mitigation, TAA mitigation is not
+			required and doesn't provide any additional
+			mitigation.

+			vdso=1: enable VDSO (the default)
+			vdso=0: disable VDSO mapping
+
+	vdso32=		[X86] Control the 32-bit vDSO

+			details.  If CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is set, the default is
+			vdso32=0; otherwise, the default is vdso32=1.
+
+			For compatibility with older kernels, vdso32=2 is an
+			alias for vdso32=0.
+
+			Try vdso32=0 if you encounter an error that says:

+
+	vector=		[IA-64,SMP]
+			vector=percpu: enable percpu vector domain
+
+	video=		[FB] Frame buffer configuration
+			See Documentation/fb/modedb.txt.
+
+	video.brightness_switch_enabled= [0,1]
+			If set to 1, on receiving an ACPI notify event
+			generated by hotkey, video driver will adjust brightness
+			level and then send out the event to user space through

+
+			Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.
+
+	vga=		[BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
+			See Documentation/x86/boot.txt and
+			Documentation/svga.txt.
+			Use vga=ask for menu.
+			This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
+			passed to the kernel using a special protocol.
+
+	vmalloc=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
+			size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
+			minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to

+
+	vmcp_cma=nn[MG]	[KNL,S390]
+			Sets the memory size reserved for contiguous memory
+			allocations for the vmcp device driver.

+
+	vsyscall=	[X86-64]
+			Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
+			fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
+			code).  Most statically-linked binaries and older
+			versions of glibc use these calls.  Because these
+			functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
+			targets for exploits that can control RIP.
+
+			emulate     [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
+			            emulated reasonably safely.
+
+			none        Vsyscalls don't work at all.  This makes
+			            them quite hard to use for exploits but
+			            might break your system.
+
+	vt.color=	[VT] Default text color.
+			Format: 0xYX, X = foreground, Y = background.

+
+	vt.default_blu=	[VT]
+			Format: <blue0>,<blue1>,<blue2>,...,<blue15>
+			Change the default blue palette of the console.
+			This is a 16-member array composed of values

+
+	vt.default_utf8=
+			[VT]
+			Format=<0|1>
+			Set system-wide default UTF-8 mode for all tty's.
+			Default is 1, i.e. UTF-8 mode is enabled for all
+			newly opened terminals.
+
+	vt.global_cursor_default=
+			[VT]
+			Format=<-1|0|1>
+			Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
+			is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,

+
+	watchdog timers	[HW,WDT] For information on watchdog timers,
+			see Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.txt
+			or other driver-specific files in the
+			Documentation/watchdog/ directory.
+
+	workqueue.watchdog_thresh=
+			If CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG is configured, workqueue can
+			warn stall conditions and dump internal state to
+			help debugging.  0 disables workqueue stall
+			detection; otherwise, it's the stall threshold
+			duration in seconds.  The default value is 30 and
+			it can be updated at runtime by writing to the
+			corresponding sysfs file.
+
+	workqueue.disable_numa
+			By default, all work items queued to unbound
+			workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
+			issued on, which results in better behavior in
+			general.  If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
+			whatever reason, this option can be used.  Note
+			that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for
+			workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/.
+
+	workqueue.power_efficient
+			Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
+			they show better performance thanks to cache
+			locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
+			be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.
+
+			Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
+			were observed to contribute significantly to power
+			consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
+			power usage at the cost of small performance
+			overhead.
+
+			The default value of this parameter is determined by
+			the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.
+
+	workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu
+			Workqueue used to implicitly guarantee that work
+			items queued without explicit CPU specified are put
+			on the local CPU.  This guarantee is no longer true
+			and while local CPU is still preferred work items
+			may be put on foreign CPUs.  This debug option
+			forces round-robin CPU selection to flush out
+			usages which depend on the now broken guarantee.
+			When enabled, memory and cache locality will be
+			impacted.
+
+	x2apic_phys	[X86-64,APIC] Use x2apic physical mode instead of
+			default x2apic cluster mode on platforms
+			supporting x2apic.

+			x86_intel_mid_timer=apbt_only | lapic_and_apbt
+
+	xen_512gb_limit		[KNL,X86-64,XEN]
+			Restricts the kernel running paravirtualized under Xen
+			to use only up to 512 GB of RAM. The reason to do so is
+			crash analysis tools and Xen tools for doing domain
+			save/restore/migration must be enabled to handle larger
+			domains.
+
+	xen_emul_unplug=		[HW,X86,XEN]
+			Unplug Xen emulated devices
+			Format: [unplug0,][unplug1]
+			ide-disks -- unplug primary master IDE devices
+			aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
+			nics -- unplug network devices
+			all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
+			unnecessary -- unplugging emulated devices is
+				unnecessary even if the host did not respond to
+				the unplug protocol
+			never -- do not unplug even if version check succeeds

+	xen_legacy_crash	[X86,XEN]
+			Crash from Xen panic notifier, without executing late
+			panic() code such as dumping handler.
+
+	xen_nopvspin	[X86,XEN]

+
+	xen_nopv	[X86]
+			Disables the PV optimizations forcing the HVM guest to
+			run as generic HVM guest with no PV drivers.
+
+	xen_scrub_pages=	[XEN]
+			Boolean option to control scrubbing pages before giving them back
+			to Xen, for use by other domains. Can be also changed at runtime
+			with /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/scrub_pages.
+			Default value controlled with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT.
+
+	xen.balloon_boot_timeout= [XEN]
+			The time (in seconds) to wait before giving up to boot
+			in case initial ballooning fails to free enough memory.
+			Applies only when running as HVM or PVH guest and
+			started with less memory configured than allowed at
+			max. Default is 180.
+
+	xen.event_eoi_delay=	[XEN]
+			How long to delay EOI handling in case of event
+			storms (jiffies). Default is 10.
+
+	xen.event_loop_timeout=	[XEN]
+			After which time (jiffies) the event handling loop
+			should start to delay EOI handling. Default is 2.
+
+	xirc2ps_cs=	[NET,PCMCIA]
+			Format:
+			<irq>,<irq_mask>,<io>,<full_duplex>,<do_sound>,<lockup_hack>[,<irq2>[,<irq3>[,<irq4>]]]
