Warning: disabling this option may break user programs.
Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location

run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used

exploits.
If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform

these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder

Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on

This means that the store buffer is always asked to drain and
this prevents it from merging any further writes. The workaround
is to replace the normal offset of cache sync operation (0x730)
by another offset targeting an unmapped PL310 register 0x740.
This has the same effect as the cache sync operation: store buffer
drain and waiting for all buffers empty.

not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable
writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading

This option adds a write barrier to the cpu_idle loop so that,
on systems with an outer cache, the store buffer is drained

Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
provide DMA coherent memory. With the advent of ARMv7, mapping
memory with differing types results in unpredictable behaviour,
so on these CPUs, this option is forced on.
Multiple mappings with differing attributes is also unpredictable
on ARMv6 CPUs, but since they do not have aggressive speculative
prefetch, no harm appears to occur.
However, drivers may be missing the necessary barriers for ARMv6,
and therefore turning this on may result in unpredictable driver
behaviour. Therefore, we offer this as an option.
