+config INTEL_TXT
+ bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
+ depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
+ help
+ This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
+ Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
+ Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
+ of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
+ will have no effect.
+
+ Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
+ initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
+ create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
+ helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
+ correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
+ of the kernel itself.
+
+ Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
+ confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
+ it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
+ providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
+
+ See <https://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
+ about Intel(R) TXT.
+ See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.

+ default 65536
+ help
+ This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+ from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
+ can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
+
+ For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+ a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+ On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
+ Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
+ this low address space will need the permission specific to the
+ systems running LSM.
+
+config HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR

+
+config HARDENED_USERCOPY
+ bool "Harden memory copies between kernel and userspace"
+ depends on HAVE_HARDENED_USERCOPY_ALLOCATOR
+ imply STRICT_DEVMEM
+ help
+ This option checks for obviously wrong memory regions when
+ copying memory to/from the kernel (via copy_to_user() and
+ copy_from_user() functions) by rejecting memory ranges that
+ are larger than the specified heap object, span multiple
+ separately allocated pages, are not on the process stack,
+ or are part of the kernel text. This kills entire classes
+ of heap overflow exploits and similar kernel memory exposures.
+
+config HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK
+ bool "Allow usercopy whitelist violations to fallback to object size"
+ depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
+ default y
+ help
+ This is a temporary option that allows missing usercopy whitelists
+ to be discovered via a WARN() to the kernel log, instead of
+ rejecting the copy, falling back to non-whitelisted hardened
+ usercopy that checks the slab allocation size instead of the
+ whitelist size. This option will be removed once it seems like
+ all missing usercopy whitelists have been identified and fixed.
+ Booting with "slab_common.usercopy_fallback=Y/N" can change
+ this setting.
+
+config HARDENED_USERCOPY_PAGESPAN
+ bool "Refuse to copy allocations that span multiple pages"
+ depends on HARDENED_USERCOPY
+ depends on EXPERT
+ help
+ When a multi-page allocation is done without __GFP_COMP,
+ hardened usercopy will reject attempts to copy it. There are,
+ however, several cases of this in the kernel that have not all
+ been removed. This config is intended to be used only while
+ trying to find such users.

+
+config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
+ bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary"
+ help
+ By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
+ binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
+ interface. Some of these binaries are statically defined
+ either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
+ option. However, some of these are dynamically created at
+ runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
+ To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
+ calls through a single executable that can not have its name
+ changed.
+
+ Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
+ "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
+ passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick
+ and choose what real programs are called.
+
+ If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be

+
+ Pattern initialization is known to provoke many existing bugs

+ This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before

+ Similar to "init_on_alloc", when "init_on_free" is enabled,
+ all page allocator and slab allocator memory will be zeroed
+ when freed, eliminating many kinds of "uninitialized heap memory"
+ flaws, especially heap content exposures. The primary difference
+ with "init_on_free" is that data lifetime in memory is reduced,
+ as anything freed is wiped immediately, making live forensics or
+ cold boot memory attacks unable to recover freed memory contents.
+ The performance impact varies by workload, but is more expensive
+ than "init_on_alloc" due to the negative cache effects of
+ touching "cold" memory areas. Most cases see 3-5% impact. Some
+ synthetic workloads have measured as high as 8%.
