+config DEBUG_RODATA
+ bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ 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".

+config DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
+ bool "Strict copy size checks"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
+ ---help---
+ Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
+ copy operations into compile time failures.
+
+ The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
+ are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
+ the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
+ within bounds.
+
+ If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.
