__kconfig-hardened-check.py__ helps me to check the Linux kernel Kconfig option list
against my hardening preferences for `x86_64`, which are based on the
-[KSPP recommended settings][1]
+[KSPP recommended settings][1] and last public [grsecurity][2] patch (options
+which they disable).
Please don't cry if my Python code looks like C. I'm just a kernel developer.
### Usage
```
#./kconfig-hardened-check.py
-Usage: ./kconfig-hardened-check.py [-p | -c <config_file>]
- -p, --print
- print hardening preferences
- -c <config_file>, --config=<config_file>
- check the config_file against these preferences
+usage: kconfig-hardened-check.py [-h] [-p] [-c CONFIG] [--debug]
+
+Checks the hardening options in the Linux kernel config
+
+optional arguments:
+ -h, --help show this help message and exit
+ -p, --print print hardening preferences
+ -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
+ check the config_file against these preferences
+ --debug enable internal debug mode
```
