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
by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating
exploits.
If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform
are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of
these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder

They are architecturally defined to behave as the execution of a
clean operation followed immediately by an invalidate operation,
both performing to the same memory location. This functionality
is not correctly implemented in PL310 prior to r2p0 (fixed in r2p0)

PL310 treats a cacheable write transaction during a Clean &

This option enables the workaround for the 753970 PL310 (r3p0) erratum.
Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on
the store buffer still remains when the operation completes.
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.
config PL310_ERRATA_769419
bool "PL310 errata: no automatic Store Buffer drain"

On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does

writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading

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.

another section-size padded region, so it can waste more memory
space while gaining the read-only protections.
