4 # This tool helps me to check Linux kernel options against
5 # my security hardening preferences for X86_64, ARM64, X86_32, and ARM.
6 # Let the computers do their job!

15 # page_alloc.shuffle=1
16 # iommu=force (does it help against DMA attacks?)
17 # slub_debug=FZ (slow)

24 # Mitigations of CPU vulnerabilities:

44 # Hardware tag-based KASAN with arm64 Memory Tagging Extension (MTE):

49 # N.B. Hardening sysctls:
50 # kernel.kptr_restrict=2 (or 1?)
51 # kernel.dmesg_restrict=1 (also see the kconfig option)

58 # net.core.bpf_jit_harden=2
60 # vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd=0
61 # (at first, it disabled unprivileged userfaultfd,
