```
-#./kconfig-hardened-check.py
-usage: kconfig-hardened-check.py [-h] [-p {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64}] [-c CONFIG]
- [--debug]
+#usage: kconfig-hardened-check.py [-h] [-p {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64,ARM}]
+ [-c CONFIG] [--debug]
Checks the hardening options in the Linux kernel config
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
- -p {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64}, --print {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64}
+ -p {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64,ARM}, --print {X86_64,X86_32,ARM64,ARM}
print hardening preferences for selected architecture
-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
check the config_file against these preferences
--debug enable internal debug mode
