13 # N.B Hardening command line parameters:
14 # page_alloc.shuffle=1
15 # iommu=force (does it help against DMA attacks?)
18 # slub_debug=FZ (slow)
19 # init_on_free=1 (since v5.3, otherwise slub_debug=P and page_poison=1)
21 # debugfs=no-mount (or off if possible)
23 # Mitigations of CPU vulnerabilities:
25 # mitigations=auto,nosmt (nosmt is slow)
28 # spec_store_bypass_disable=on
30 # l1d_flush=on (a part of the l1tf option)
41 # sysrq_always_enabled
46 # Hardware tag-based KASAN with arm64 Memory Tagging Extension (MTE):

59 # kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1
60 # net.core.bpf_jit_harden=2
61 # vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd=0
62 # (at first, it disabled unprivileged userfaultfd,
