683 depends on CPU_THUMB_CAPABLE
686 Say Y if you want to include kernel support for running user space
689 The Thumb instruction set is a compressed form of the standard ARM
690 instruction set resulting in smaller binaries at the expense of
691 slightly less efficient code.
693 If you don't know what this all is, saying Y is a safe choice.
696 bool "Enable ThumbEE CPU extension"

719 select HAVE_PROC_CPU if PROC_FS
721 ARMv6 architecture deprecates use of the SWP/SWPB instructions.

724 when executed. Say Y here to enable software emulation of these
725 instructions for userspace (not kernel) using LDREX/STREX.
726 Also creates /proc/cpu/swp_emulation for statistics.
728 In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
729 trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
730 be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
731 with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
734 NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
735 on an external transaction monitoring block called a global
736 monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not

836 bool "Enable kuser helpers in vector page" if !NEED_KUSER_HELPERS
840 Warning: disabling this option may break user programs.
842 Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
843 helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
844 in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
845 the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
846 run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
848 See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
850 However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
851 by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
854 If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
855 are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
856 these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder
857 such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library
858 relying on those helpers is run, it will receive a SIGILL signal,
859 which will terminate the program.

879 bool "Enable read/write for ownership DMA cache maintenance"
880 depends on CPU_V6K && SMP
883 The Snoop Control Unit on ARM11MPCore does not detect the

885 functions may leave stale cache entries on other CPUs. By
886 enabling this option, Read or Write For Ownership in the ARMv6
887 DMA cache maintenance functions is performed. These LDR/STR
888 instructions change the cache line state to shared or modified
889 so that the cache operation has the desired effect.
891 Note that the workaround is only valid on processors that do
892 not perform speculative loads into the D-cache. For such
893 processors, if cache maintenance operations are not broadcast
894 in hardware, other workarounds are needed (e.g. cache

953 config PL310_ERRATA_588369
954 bool "PL310 errata: Clean & Invalidate maintenance operations do not invalidate clean lines"
956 The PL310 L2 cache controller implements three types of Clean &
957 Invalidate maintenance operations: by Physical Address
958 (offset 0x7F0), by Index/Way (0x7F8) and by Way (0x7FC).
959 They are architecturally defined to behave as the execution of a
960 clean operation followed immediately by an invalidate operation,
961 both performing to the same memory location. This functionality
962 is not correctly implemented in PL310 prior to r2p0 (fixed in r2p0)
963 as clean lines are not invalidated as a result of these operations.
965 config PL310_ERRATA_727915
966 bool "PL310 errata: Background Clean & Invalidate by Way operation can cause data corruption"
968 PL310 implements the Clean & Invalidate by Way L2 cache maintenance
969 operation (offset 0x7FC). This operation runs in background so that
970 PL310 can handle normal accesses while it is in progress. Under very
971 rare circumstances, due to this erratum, write data can be lost when
972 PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean &
973 Invalidate by Way operation. Revisions prior to r3p1 are affected by
974 this errata (fixed in r3p1).
976 config PL310_ERRATA_753970
977 bool "PL310 errata: cache sync operation may be faulty"
979 This option enables the workaround for the 753970 PL310 (r3p0) erratum.
981 Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on
982 the store buffer still remains when the operation completes.
983 This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and
984 this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround
985 is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
986 by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.
987 This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer
988 drain and waiting for all buffers empty.
990 config PL310_ERRATA_769419
991 bool "PL310 errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"
993 On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does
994 not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable
995 writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading
996 to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA.
997 This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that,
998 on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained

1051 Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
1052 provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
1053 memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
1054 so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
1056 Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
1057 on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
1058 prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
1060 However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
1061 and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
1062 behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option.
1064 On some of the beefier ARMv7-M machines (with DMA and write
1065 buffers) you likely want this enabled, while those that
1066 didn't need it until now also won't need it in the future.
1068 You are recommended say 'Y' here and debug any affected drivers.
1073 config ARCH_SUPPORTS_BIG_ENDIAN
1076 This option specifies the architecture can support big endian
1079 config DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA
1080 bool "Make rodata strictly non-executable"
1081 depends on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
1084 If this is set, rodata will be made explicitly non-executable. This
1085 provides protection on the rare chance that attackers might find and
1086 use ROP gadgets that exist in the rodata section. This adds an
1087 additional section-aligned split of rodata from kernel text so it
1088 can be made explicitly non-executable. This padding may waste memory
1089 space to gain the additional protection.
