Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
|
|
in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
|
|
data. This option may have a slight performance impact because a
|
|
portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a TLB anymore.
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".
