15 # page_alloc.shuffle=1
16 # iommu=force (does it help against DMA attacks?)
17 # slub_debug=FZ (slow)
18 # init_on_alloc=1 (since v5.3)

24 # Mitigations of CPU vulnerabilities:
26 # mitigations=auto,nosmt (nosmt is slow)

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)

60 # vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd=0
