arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONX

2017-02-07T20:32:52+00:00

Both of these options are poorly named. The features they provide are necessary for system security and should not be considered debug only. Change the names to CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to better describe what these options do. Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott Acked-by: Jessica Yu Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

2013-01-11T19:38:03+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default.

kgdb,debug_core: add the ability to control the reboot notifier

2012-03-22T20:07:16+00:00

Sometimes it is desirable to stop the kernel debugger before allowing a system to reboot either with kdb or kgdb. This patch adds the ability to turn the reboot notifier on and off or enter the debugger and stop kernel execution before rebooting. It is possible to change the setting after booting the kernel with the following: echo 1 > /sys/module/debug_core/parameters/kgdbreboot It is also possible to change this setting using kdb / kgdb to manipulate the variable directly. Using KDB: mm kgdbreboot 1 Using gdb: set kgdbreboot=1 Reported-by: Jan Kiszka Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel
