+config ARM64_PTDUMP_DEBUGFS
+ bool "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
+ select DEBUG_FS
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
+ debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
+ who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
+ It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
+ kernel.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.
+
+config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
+ bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
+ help
+ Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
+ the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
+ instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
+ planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
+
+config ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
+ bool "Randomize TEXT_OFFSET at build time"
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want the image load offset (AKA TEXT_OFFSET)
+ of the kernel to be randomized at build-time. When selected,
+ this option will cause TEXT_OFFSET to be randomized upon any
+ build of the kernel, and the offset will be reflected in the
+ text_offset field of the resulting Image. This can be used to
+ fuzz-test bootloaders which respect text_offset.
+
+ This option is intended for bootloader and/or kernel testing
+ only. Bootloaders must make no assumptions regarding the value
+ of TEXT_OFFSET and platforms must not require a specific
+ value.
+
+config DEBUG_WX
+ bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
+ select ARM64_PTDUMP_CORE
+ ---help---
+ Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
+
+ This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
+ W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
+ This check also includes UXN, which should be set on all kernel
+ mappings.
+
+ Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
+
+ arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
+
+ or like this, if the check failed:
+
+ arm64/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
+
+ Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
+ still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
+ themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
+ of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
+
+ There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
+ once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
+
+ If in doubt, say "Y".
+
+config DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA
+ depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
+ bool "Align linker sections up to SECTION_SIZE"
+ help
+ If this option is enabled, sections that may potentially be marked as
+ read only or non-executable will be aligned up to the section size of
+ the kernel. This prevents sections from being split into pages and
+ avoids a potential TLB penalty. The downside is an increase in
+ alignment and potentially wasted space. Turn on this option if
+ performance is more important than memory pressure.
+
+ If in doubt, say N.
+
+config DEBUG_EFI
+ depends on EFI && DEBUG_INFO
+ bool "UEFI debugging"
+ help
+ Enable this option to include EFI specific debugging features into
+ the kernel that are only useful when using a debug build of the
+ UEFI firmware
