696 ARMv6 architecture deprecates use of the SWP/SWPB instructions.
697 ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions introduce the ability to disable
698 these instructions, triggering an undefined instruction exception
699 when executed. Say Y here to enable software emulation of these
700 instructions for userspace (not kernel) using LDREX/STREX.
701 Also creates /proc/cpu/swp_emulation for statistics.
702
703 In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex
704 trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not
705 be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail
706 with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user
707 application.
708
709 NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely
710 on an external transaction monitoring block called a global
711 monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not
712 implement a global monitor, this option can cause programs that
713 perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock.

817 Provide kuser helpers in the vector page. The kernel provides
818 helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location
819 in the high vector page to allow userspace to be independent of
820 the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be
821 run on ARMv4 through to ARMv7 without modification.
822
823 See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.

825 However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used
826 by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating

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

949 Under some condition the effect of cache sync operation on

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

1013 Historically, the kernel has used strongly ordered mappings to
