The kernel’s command-line parameters

The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented by the __setup(), early_param(), core_param() and module_param() macros and sorted into English Dictionary order (defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.

The kernel parses parameters from the kernel command line up to “--“; if it doesn’t recognize a parameter and it doesn’t contain a ‘.’, the parameter gets passed to init: parameters with ‘=’ go into init’s environment, others are passed as command line arguments to init. Everything after “--” is passed as an argument to init.

Module parameters can be specified in two ways: via the kernel command line with a module name prefix, or via modprobe, e.g.:

(kernel command line) usbcore.blinkenlights=1
(modprobe command line) modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1

Parameters for modules which are built into the kernel need to be specified on the kernel command line. modprobe looks through the kernel command line (/proc/cmdline) and collects module parameters when it loads a module, so the kernel command line can be used for loadable modules too.

Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so:

log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1

can also be entered as:

log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1

Double-quotes can be used to protect spaces in values, e.g.:

param="spaces in here"

cpu lists:

Some kernel parameters take a list of CPUs as a value, e.g. isolcpus, nohz_full, irqaffinity, rcu_nocbs. The format of this list is:

<cpu number>,…,<cpu number>

or

<cpu number>-<cpu number> (must be a positive range in ascending order)

or a mixture

<cpu number>,…,<cpu number>-<cpu number>

Note that for the special case of a range one can split the range into equal sized groups and for each group use some amount from the beginning of that group:

<cpu number>-<cpu number>:<used size>/<group size>

For example one can add to the command line following parameter:

isolcpus=1,2,10-20,100-2000:2/25

where the final item represents CPUs 100,101,125,126,150,151,…

The value “N” can be used to represent the numerically last CPU on the system, i.e “foo_cpus=16-N” would be equivalent to “16-31” on a 32 core system.

Keep in mind that “N” is dynamic, so if system changes cause the bitmap width to change, such as less cores in the CPU list, then N and any ranges using N will also change. Use the same on a small 4 core system, and “16-N” becomes “16-3” and now the same boot input will be flagged as invalid (start > end).

The special case-tolerant group name “all” has a meaning of selecting all CPUs, so that “nohz_full=all” is the equivalent of “nohz_full=0-N”.

The semantics of “N” and “all” is supported on a level of bitmaps and holds for all users of bitmap_parse().

This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command “modinfo -p ${modulename}” shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these parameters may be changed at runtime by the command echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}.

The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a parameter is applicable:

In addition, the following text indicates that the option:

BUGS=   Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
KNL     Is a kernel start-up parameter.
BOOT    Is a boot loader parameter.

Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly. Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme need or coordination with <The Linux/x86 Boot Protocol>.

There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here. See for example <AMD64 Specific Boot Options>.

Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs running once the system is up.

The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file ./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.

Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel parameter values. These ‘K’, ‘M’, and ‘G’ letters represent the _binary_ multipliers ‘Kilo’, ‘Mega’, and ‘Giga’, equaling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30 bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted:

                        force -- enable ACPI if default was off
                        on -- enable ACPI but allow fallback to DT [arm64]
                        off -- disable ACPI if default was on

                        are available

                        See also Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst, pci=noacpi

        acpi_apic_instance=     [ACPI, IOAPIC]
                        Format: <int>
                        2: use 2nd APIC table, if available
                        1,0: use 1st APIC table
                        default: 0

        acpi_backlight= [HW,ACPI]
                        { vendor | video | native | none }
                        If set to vendor, prefer vendor-specific driver
                        (e.g. thinkpad_acpi, sony_acpi, etc.) instead
                        of the ACPI video.ko driver.
                        If set to video, use the ACPI video.ko driver.
                        If set to native, use the device's native backlight mode.
                        If set to none, disable the ACPI backlight interface.

        acpi_force_32bit_fadt_addr
                        force FADT to use 32 bit addresses rather than the
                        64 bit X_* addresses. Some firmware have broken 64
                        bit addresses for force ACPI ignore these and use
                        the older legacy 32 bit addresses.

        acpica_no_return_repair [HW, ACPI]
                        Disable AML predefined validation mechanism
                        This mechanism can repair the evaluation result to make
                        the return objects more ACPI specification compliant.
                        This option is useful for developers to identify the
                        root cause of an AML interpreter issue when the issue
                        has something to do with the repair mechanism.

        acpi.debug_layer=       [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
        acpi.debug_level=       [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
                        Format: <int>
                        CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
                        debug output.  Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
                        _COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
                            #define _COMPONENT ACPI_EVENTS
                        Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
                        ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
                            ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
                        The debug_level mask defaults to "info".  See
                        Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/debug.rst for more information about
                        debug layers and levels.

                        Enable processor driver info messages:
                            acpi.debug_layer=0x20000000
                        Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
                        object while interpreting AML:
                            acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
                        Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
                            acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff

                        Some values produce so much output that the system is
                        unusable.  The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
                        if you need to capture more output.

        acpi_enforce_resources= [ACPI]
                        { strict | lax | no }
                        Check for resource conflicts between native drivers
                        and ACPI OperationRegions (SystemIO and SystemMemory
                        only). IO ports and memory declared in ACPI might be
                        used by the ACPI subsystem in arbitrary AML code and
                        can interfere with legacy drivers.
                        strict (default): access to resources claimed by ACPI
                        is denied; legacy drivers trying to access reserved
                        resources will fail to bind to device using them.
                        lax: access to resources claimed by ACPI is allowed;
                        legacy drivers trying to access reserved resources
                        will bind successfully but a warning message is logged.
                        no: ACPI OperationRegions are not marked as reserved,
                        no further checks are performed.

        acpi_force_table_verification   [HW,ACPI]
                        Enable table checksum verification during early stage.
                        By default, this is disabled due to x86 early mapping
                        size limitation.

        acpi_irq_balance [HW,ACPI]
                        ACPI will balance active IRQs
                        default in APIC mode

        acpi_irq_nobalance [HW,ACPI]
                        ACPI will not move active IRQs (default)
                        default in PIC mode

        acpi_irq_isa=   [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, mark listed IRQs used by ISA
                        Format: <irq>,<irq>...

        acpi_irq_pci=   [HW,ACPI] If irq_balance, clear listed IRQs for
                        use by PCI
                        Format: <irq>,<irq>...

        acpi_mask_gpe=  [HW,ACPI]
                        Due to the existence of _Lxx/_Exx, some GPEs triggered
                        by unsupported hardware/firmware features can result in
                        GPE floodings that cannot be automatically disabled by
                        the GPE dispatcher.
                        This facility can be used to prevent such uncontrolled
                        GPE floodings.
                        Format: <byte> or <bitmap-list>

        acpi_no_auto_serialize  [HW,ACPI]
                        Disable auto-serialization of AML methods
                        AML control methods that contain the opcodes to create
                        named objects will be marked as "Serialized" by the
                        auto-serialization feature.
                        This feature is enabled by default.
                        This option allows to turn off the feature.

        acpi_no_memhotplug [ACPI] Disable memory hotplug.  Useful for kdump
                           kernels.

        acpi_no_static_ssdt     [HW,ACPI]
                        Disable installation of static SSDTs at early boot time
                        By default, SSDTs contained in the RSDT/XSDT will be
                        installed automatically and they will appear under
                        /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.
                        This option turns off this feature.
                        Note that specifying this option does not affect
                        dynamic table installation which will install SSDT
                        tables to /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic.

        acpi_no_watchdog        [HW,ACPI,WDT]
                        Ignore the ACPI-based watchdog interface (WDAT) and let
                        a native driver control the watchdog device instead.

        acpi_rsdp=      [ACPI,EFI,KEXEC]
                        Pass the RSDP address to the kernel, mostly used
                        on machines running EFI runtime service to boot the
                        second kernel for kdump.

        acpi_os_name=   [HW,ACPI] Tell ACPI BIOS the name of the OS
                        Format: To spoof as Windows 98: ="Microsoft Windows"

        acpi_rev_override [ACPI] Override the _REV object to return 5 (instead
                        of 2 which is mandated by ACPI 6) as the supported ACPI
                        specification revision (when using this switch, it may
                        be necessary to carry out a cold reboot _twice_ in a
                        row to make it take effect on the platform firmware).

        acpi_osi=       [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
                        acpi_osi="string1"      # add string1
                        acpi_osi="!string2"     # remove string2
                        acpi_osi=!*             # remove all strings
                        acpi_osi=!              # disable all built-in OS vendor
                                                  strings
                        acpi_osi=!!             # enable all built-in OS vendor
                                                  strings
                        acpi_osi=               # disable all strings

                        'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
                        multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
                        vendor string(s).  Note that such command can only
                        affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
                        it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
                        strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
                        specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
                        is meaningless.  This command is useful when one do not
                        care about the state of the feature group strings which
                        should be controlled by the OSPM.
                        Examples:
                          1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
                             to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
                             can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.

                        'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
                        'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
                        exist in the ACPI namespace.  NOTE that such command can
                        only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
                        multiple times through kernel command line is also
                        meaningless.
                        Examples:
                          1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
                             FALSE.

                        'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
                        multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
                        string(s).  Note that such command can affect the
                        current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
                        feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
                        through kernel command line is meaningful.  But it may
                        still not able to affect the final state of a string if
                        there are quirks related to this string.  This command
                        is useful when one want to control the state of the
                        feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
                        the OSPM features.
                        Examples:
                          1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
                             '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
                          2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
                             '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
                          3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
                             equivalent to
                             'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'
                             and
                             'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',
                             they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.

        acpi_pm_good    [X86]
                        Override the pmtimer bug detection: force the kernel
                        to assume that this machine's pmtimer latches its value
                        and always returns good values.

                                  s4_nohwsig, old_ordering, nonvs,
                                  sci_force_enable, nobl }
                        See Documentation/power/video.rst for information on
                        s3_bios and s3_mode.
                        s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
                        as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
                        s4_hwsig causes the kernel to check the ACPI hardware
                        signature during resume from hibernation, and gracefully
                        refuse to resume if it has changed. This complies with
                        the ACPI specification but not with reality, since
                        Windows does not do this and many laptops do change it
                        on docking. So the default behaviour is to allow resume
                        and simply warn when the signature changes, unless the
                        s4_hwsig option is enabled.
                        s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
                        used (or even warned about) during resume.
                        old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
                        control method, with respect to putting devices into
                        low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
                        of _PTS is used by default).
                        nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
                        ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
                        sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
                        on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
                        but some broken systems don't work without it).
                        nobl causes the internal blacklist of systems known to
                        behave incorrectly in some ways with respect to system
                        suspend and resume to be ignored (use wisely).

                        Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards

        alignment=      [KNL,ARM]
                        Allow the default userspace alignment fault handler
                        behaviour to be specified.  Bit 0 enables warnings,
                        bit 1 enables fixups, and bit 2 sends a segfault.

        align_va_addr=  [X86-64]
                        Align virtual addresses by clearing slice [14:12] when
                        allocating a VMA at process creation time. This option
                        gives you up to 3% performance improvement on AMD F15h
                        machines (where it is enabled by default) for a
                        CPU-intensive style benchmark, and it can vary highly in
                        a microbenchmark depending on workload and compiler.

                        Allocate the ftrace snapshot buffer on boot up when the
                        main buffer is allocated. This is handy if debugging
                        and you need to use tracing_snapshot() on boot up, and
                        do not want to use tracing_snapshot_alloc() as it needs
                        to be done where GFP_KERNEL allocations are allowed.

        allow_mismatched_32bit_el0 [ARM64]
                        Allow execve() of 32-bit applications and setting of the
                        PER_LINUX32 personality on systems where only a strict
                        subset of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0. When this
                        parameter is present, the set of CPUs supporting 32-bit
                        EL0 is indicated by /sys/devices/system/cpu/aarch32_el0
                        and hot-unplug operations may be restricted.

        amd_iommu=      [HW,X86-64]
                        Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
                        Possible values are:

                        off       - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in

                                          devices. The IOMMU driver is not
                                          allowed anymore to lift isolation
                                          requirements as needed. This option
                                          does not override iommu=pt
                        force_enable - Force enable the IOMMU on platforms known
                                       to be buggy with IOMMU enabled. Use this
                                       option with care.

        amd_iommu_dump= [HW,X86-64]
                        Enable AMD IOMMU driver option to dump the ACPI table
                        for AMD IOMMU. With this option enabled, AMD IOMMU
                        driver will print ACPI tables for AMD IOMMU during
                        IOMMU initialization.

        amd_iommu_intr= [HW,X86-64]
                        Specifies one of the following AMD IOMMU interrupt
                        remapping modes:
                        legacy     - Use legacy interrupt remapping mode.
                        vapic      - Use virtual APIC mode, which allows IOMMU
                                     to inject interrupts directly into guest.
                                     This mode requires kvm-amd.avic=1.

                              useful so that a dump capture kernel won't be

                        Sometimes CPU hardware bugs make them report the cache
                        size incorrectly. The kernel will attempt work arounds
                        to fix known problems, but for some CPUs it is not
                        possible to determine what the correct size should be.
                        This option provides an override for these situations.

                        The effects of cgroup_disable=foo are:
                        - foo isn't auto-mounted if you mount all cgroups in
                          a single hierarchy
                        - foo isn't visible as an individually mountable
                          subsystem
                        - if foo is an optional feature then the feature is
                          disabled and corresponding cgroup files are not
                          created
                        {Currently only "memory" controller deal with this and
                        cut the overhead, others just disable the usage. So

                        the blacklisted controllers remain available in cgroup2.
                        "all" blacklists all controllers and "named" disables
                        named mounts. Specifying both "all" and "named" disables
                        all v1 hierarchies.

        clk_ignore_unused
                        [CLK]
                        Prevents the clock framework from automatically gating
                        clocks that have not been explicitly enabled by a Linux
                        device driver but are enabled in hardware at reset or
                        by the bootloader/firmware. Note that this does not
                        force such clocks to be always-on nor does it reserve
                        those clocks in any way. This parameter is useful for
                        debug and development, but should not be needed on a
                        platform with proper driver support.  For more

                        Enable/disable the eventstream feature of the ARM
                        architected timer so that code using WFE-based polling

                        Number of clocksource_watchdog() retries due to
                        external delays before the clock will be marked
                        unstable.  Defaults to two retries, that is,
                        three attempts to read the clock under test.

        clocksource.verify_n_cpus= [KNL]
                        Limit the number of CPUs checked for clocksources
                        marked with CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU that
                        are marked unstable due to excessive skew.
                        A negative value says to check all CPUs, while
                        zero says not to check any.  Values larger than
                        nr_cpu_ids are silently truncated to nr_cpu_ids.
                        The actual CPUs are chosen randomly, with
                        no replacement if the same CPU is chosen twice.

        clocksource-wdtest.holdoff= [KNL]
                        Set the time in seconds that the clocksource
                        watchdog test waits before commencing its tests.
                        Defaults to zero when built as a module and to
                        10 seconds when built into the kernel.

        clearcpuid=BITNUM[,BITNUM...] [X86]
                        Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
                        arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h for the valid bit
                        numbers. Note the Linux specific bits are not necessarily
                        stable over kernel options, but the vendor specific
                        ones should be.
                        Also note that user programs calling CPUID directly
                        or using the feature without checking anything
                        will still see it. This just prevents it from
                        being used by the kernel or shown in /proc/cpuinfo.
                        Also note the kernel might malfunction if you disable
                        some critical bits.

                        per-numa CMA altogether. And If this option is not
                        specificed, the default value is 0.
                        With per-numa CMA enabled, DMA users on node nid will
                        first try to allocate buffer from the pernuma area
                        which is located in node nid, if the allocation fails,
                        they will fallback to the global default memory area.

                        By default we print messages on consoles in
                        "[time stamp] text\n" format (time stamp may not be
                        printed, depending on CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME or

                        IOW, each message will have a facility and loglevel
                        prefix. The format is similar to one used by syslog()
                        syscall, or to executing "dmesg -S --raw" or to reading
                        from /proc/kmsg.

        crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
                        [KNL] Using kexec, Linux can switch to a 'crash kernel'
                        upon panic. This parameter reserves the physical
                        memory region [offset, offset + size] for that kernel
                        image. If '@offset' is omitted, then a suitable offset
                        is selected automatically.
                        [KNL, X86-64] Select a region under 4G first, and
                        fall back to reserve region above 4G when '@offset'
                        hasn't been specified.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst for further details.

        crashkernel=range1:size1[,range2:size2,...][@offset]
                        [KNL] Same as above, but depends on the memory
                        in the running system. The syntax of range is
                        start-[end] where start and end are both
                        a memory unit (amount[KMG]). See also
                        Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst for an example.

        crashkernel=size[KMG],high
                        [KNL, X86-64] range could be above 4G. Allow kernel
                        to allocate physical memory region from top, so could
                        be above 4G if system have more than 4G ram installed.
                        Otherwise memory region will be allocated below 4G, if
                        available.
                        It will be ignored if crashkernel=X is specified.
        crashkernel=size[KMG],low
                        [KNL, X86-64] range under 4G. When crashkernel=X,high
                        is passed, kernel could allocate physical memory region
                        above 4G, that cause second kernel crash on system
                        that require some amount of low memory, e.g. swiotlb
                        requires at least 64M+32K low memory, also enough extra
                        low memory is needed to make sure DMA buffers for 32-bit
                        devices won't run out. Kernel would try to allocate at
                        at least 256M below 4G automatically.
                        This one let user to specify own low range under 4G
                        for second kernel instead.
                        0: to disable low allocation.
                        It will be ignored when crashkernel=X,high is not used
                        or memory reserved is below 4G.

        debug_guardpage_minorder=
                        [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this
                        parameter allows control of the order of pages that will
                        be intentionally kept free (and hence protected) by the
                        buddy allocator. Bigger value increase the probability
                        of catching random memory corruption, but reduce the
                        amount of memory for normal system use. The maximum
                        possible value is MAX_ORDER/2.  Setting this parameter
                        to 1 or 2 should be enough to identify most random
                        memory corruption problems caused by bugs in kernel or
                        driver code when a CPU writes to (or reads from) a
                        random memory location. Note that there exists a class
                        of memory corruptions problems caused by buggy H/W or
                        F/W or by drivers badly programing DMA (basically when
                        memory is written at bus level and the CPU MMU is
                        bypassed) which are not detectable by
                        CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, hence this option will not help
                        tracking down these problems.

        debug_pagealloc=
                        [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, this parameter
                        enables the feature at boot time. By default, it is
                        disabled and the system will work mostly the same as a
                        kernel built without CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.
                        Note: to get most of debug_pagealloc error reports, it's
                        useful to also enable the page_owner functionality.
                        on: enable the feature

        debugfs=        [KNL] This parameter enables what is exposed to userspace

                        Format: { on, no-mount, off }
                        on:     All functions are enabled.
                        no-mount:
                                Filesystem is not registered but kernel clients can
                                access APIs and a crashkernel can be used to read
                                its content. There is nothing to mount.
                        off:    Filesystem is not registered and clients
                                get a -EPERM as result when trying to register files
                                or directories within debugfs.
                                This is equivalent of the runtime functionality if
                                debugfs was not enabled in the kernel at all.
                        Default value is set in build-time with a kernel configuration.

        disable_cpu_apicid= [X86,APIC,SMP]
                        Format: <int>
                        The number of initial APIC ID for the
                        corresponding CPU to be disabled at boot,
                        mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to
                        disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without
                        causing system reset or hang due to sending
                        INIT from AP to BSP.

        disable_ddw     [PPC/PSERIES]
                        Disable Dynamic DMA Window support. Use this
                        to workaround buggy firmware.

        disable_ipv6=   [IPV6]
                        See Documentation/networking/ipv6.rst.

        disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
                        The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
                        to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB
                        entry later. This parameter disables that.

        disable_mtrr_trim [X86, Intel and AMD only]
                        By default the kernel will trim any uncacheable
                        memory out of your available memory pool based on
                        MTRR settings.  This parameter disables that behavior,
                        possibly causing your machine to run very slowly.

        disable_timer_pin_1 [X86]
                        Disable PIN 1 of APIC timer
                        Can be useful to work around chipset bugs.

        dis_ucode_ldr   [X86] Disable the microcode loader.

        dma_debug=off   If the kernel is compiled with DMA_API_DEBUG support,
                        this option disables the debugging code at boot.

        dma_debug_entries=<number>
                        This option allows to tune the number of preallocated
                        entries for DMA-API debugging code. One entry is
                        required per DMA-API allocation. Use this if the
                        DMA-API debugging code disables itself because the
                        architectural default is too low.

        dma_debug_driver=<driver_name>
                        With this option the DMA-API debugging driver
                        filter feature can be enabled at boot time. Just
                        pass the driver to filter for as the parameter.
                        The filter can be disabled or changed to another
                        driver later using sysfs.

        driver_async_probe=  [KNL]
                        List of driver names to be probed asynchronously.

        drm.edid_firmware=[<connector>:]<file>[,[<connector>:]<file>]
                        Broken monitors, graphic adapters, KVMs and EDIDless
                        panels may send no or incorrect EDID data sets.
                        This parameter allows to specify an EDID data sets
                        in the /lib/firmware directory that are used instead.
                        Generic built-in EDID data sets are used, if one of
                        edid/1024x768.bin, edid/1280x1024.bin,
                        edid/1680x1050.bin, or edid/1920x1080.bin is given
                        and no file with the same name exists. Details and
                        instructions how to build your own EDID data are
                        available in Documentation/admin-guide/edid.rst. An EDID
                        data set will only be used for a particular connector,
                        if its name and a colon are prepended to the EDID
                        name. Each connector may use a unique EDID data
                        set by separating the files with a comma.  An EDID
                        data set with no connector name will be used for
                        any connectors not explicitly specified.

        early_ioremap_debug [KNL]
                        Enable debug messages in early_ioremap support. This
                        is useful for tracking down temporary early mappings
                        which are not unmapped.

        earlycon=       [KNL] Output early console device and options.

                        When used with no options, the early console is
                        determined by stdout-path property in device tree's
                        chosen node or the ACPI SPCR table if supported by
                        the platform.

                cdns,<addr>[,options]
                        Start an early, polled-mode console on a Cadence
                        (xuartps) serial port at the specified address. Only
                        supported option is baud rate. If baud rate is not
                        specified, the serial port must already be setup and
                        configured.

                        Start an early, polled-mode console on the 8250/16550
                        UART at the specified I/O port or MMIO address.
                        MMIO inter-register address stride is either 8-bit
                        (mmio) or 32-bit (mmio32 or mmio32be).
                        If none of [io|mmio|mmio32|mmio32be], <addr> is assumed
                        to be equivalent to 'mmio'. 'options' are specified
                        in the same format described for "console=ttyS<n>"; if
                        unspecified, the h/w is not initialized.

                        Start an early, polled-mode console on a pl011 serial
                        port at the specified address. The pl011 serial port
                        must already be setup and configured. Options are not
                        yet supported.  If 'mmio32' is specified, then only
                        the driver will use only 32-bit accessors to read/write
                        the device registers.

                        address. The serial port must already be setup
                        and configured. Options are not yet supported.

                qcom_geni,<addr>
                        Start an early, polled-mode console on a Qualcomm

                efifb,[options]
                        Start an early, unaccelerated console on the EFI
                        memory mapped framebuffer (if available). On cache
                        coherent non-x86 systems that use system memory for
                        the framebuffer, pass the 'ram' option so that it is
                        mapped with the correct attributes.

                linflex,<addr>
                        Use early console provided by Freescale LINFlexD UART
                        serial driver for NXP S32V234 SoCs. A valid base
                        address must be provided, and the serial port must
                        already be setup and configured.

        earlyprintk=    [X86,SH,ARM,M68k,S390]
                        earlyprintk=vga
                        earlyprintk=sclp
                        earlyprintk=xen
                        earlyprintk=serial[,ttySn[,baudrate]]
                        earlyprintk=serial[,0x...[,baudrate]]

                        earlyprintk=xdbc[xhciController#]

                        earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
                        the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by
                        default because it has some cosmetic problems.

                        Append ",keep" to not disable it when the real console
                        takes over.

                        Only one of vga, efi, serial, or usb debug port can
                        be used at a time.

                        Currently only ttyS0 and ttyS1 may be specified by
                        name.  Other I/O ports may be explicitly specified
                        on some architectures (x86 and arm at least) by
                        replacing ttySn with an I/O port address, like this:
                                earlyprintk=serial,0x1008,115200
                        You can find the port for a given device in
                        /proc/tty/driver/serial:
                                2: uart:ST16650V2 port:00001008 irq:18 ...

                        Interaction with the standard serial driver is not
                        very good.

                        The VGA and EFI output is eventually overwritten by
                        the real console.

                        The xen option can only be used in Xen domains.

                        The sclp output can only be used on s390.

                        The optional "force" to "pciserial" enables use of a
                        PCI device even when its classcode is not of the
                        UART class.

                        on: enable EDAC to report H/W event. May be overridden
                        by other higher priority error reporting module.
                        off: disable H/W event reporting through EDAC.
                        force: enforce the use of EDAC to report H/W event.

                        This is designed to be used in conjunction with
                        the boot argument: earlyprintk=vga

                        This parameter works in place of the kgdboc parameter
                        but can only be used if the backing tty is available
                        very early in the boot process. For early debugging
                        via a serial port see kgdboc_earlycon instead.

                        nosoftreserve: The EFI_MEMORY_SP (Specific Purpose)
                        attribute may cause the kernel to reserve the
                        memory range for a memory mapping driver to
                        claim. Specify efi=nosoftreserve to disable this
                        reservation and treat the memory by its base type
                        (i.e. EFI_CONVENTIONAL_MEMORY / "System RAM").
                        novamap: do not call SetVirtualAddressMap().
                        no_disable_early_pci_dma: Leave the busmaster bit set
                        on all PCI bridges while in the EFI boot stub

        efi_no_storage_paranoia [EFI; X86]
                        Using this parameter you can use more than 50% of
                        your efi variable storage. Use this parameter only if
                        you are really sure that your UEFI does sane gc and
                        fulfills the spec otherwise your board may brick.

        efi_fake_mem=   nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]:aa[,nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]:aa,..] [EFI; X86]
                        Add arbitrary attribute to specific memory range by
                        updating original EFI memory map.
                        Region of memory which aa attribute is added to is
                        from ss to ss+nn.

                        If efi_fake_mem=2G@4G:0x10000,2G@0x10a0000000:0x10000

                        attribute is added to range 0x100000000-0x180000000 and
                        0x10a0000000-0x1120000000.

                        If efi_fake_mem=8G@9G:0x40000 is specified, the
                        EFI_MEMORY_SP(0x40000) attribute is added to
                        range 0x240000000-0x43fffffff.

                        Using this parameter you can do debugging of EFI memmap
                        related features. For example, you can do debugging of
                        Address Range Mirroring feature even if your box
                        doesn't support it, or mark specific memory as
                        "soft reserved".

        efivar_ssdt=    [EFI; X86] Name of an EFI variable that contains an SSDT

        enable_mtrr_cleanup [X86]
                        The kernel tries to adjust MTRR layout from continuous
                        to discrete, to make X server driver able to add WB

                        buggy SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations. Using this
                        parameter will force ia64_sal_cache_flush to call
                        ia64_pal_cache_flush instead of SAL_CACHE_FLUSH.

        forcepae        [X86-32]

                        Many Pentium M systems disable PAE but may have a
                        functionally usable PAE implementation.
                        Warning: use of this parameter will taint the kernel
                        and may cause unknown problems.

        ftrace=[tracer]

                        ftrace ring buffer that can be read at:
                        /sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot.
                        This is useful if you need tracing information from kernel
                        boot up that is likely to be overridden by user space
                        start up functionality.

        ftrace_dump_on_oops[=orig_cpu]
                        [FTRACE] will dump the trace buffers on oops.
                        If no parameter is passed, ftrace will dump
                        buffers of all CPUs, but if you pass orig_cpu, it will
                        dump only the buffer of the CPU that triggered the
                        oops.

        ftrace_filter=[function-list]
                        [FTRACE] Limit the functions traced by the function

                        list of functions. This list can be changed at run
                        time by the set_ftrace_filter file in the debugfs
                        tracing directory.

        ftrace_notrace=[function-list]
                        [FTRACE] Do not trace the functions specified in
                        function-list. This list can be changed at run time
                        by the set_ftrace_notrace file in the debugfs
                        tracing directory.

        ftrace_graph_filter=[function-list]
                        [FTRACE] Limit the top level callers functions traced
                        by the function graph tracer at boot up.
                        function-list is a comma-separated list of functions
                        that can be changed at run time by the
                        set_graph_function file in the debugfs tracing directory.

        ftrace_graph_notrace=[function-list]
                        [FTRACE] Do not trace from the functions specified in
                        function-list.  This list is a comma-separated list of
                        functions that can be changed at run time by the
                        set_graph_notrace file in the debugfs tracing directory.

        ftrace_graph_max_depth=<uint>
                        [FTRACE] Used with the function graph tracer. This is
                        the max depth it will trace into a function. This value
                        can be changed at run time by the max_graph_depth file
                        in the tracefs tracing directory. default: 0 (no limit)

        fw_devlink=     [KNL] Create device links between consumer and supplier
                        devices by scanning the firmware to infer the
                        consumer/supplier relationships. This feature is
                        especially useful when drivers are loaded as modules as
                        it ensures proper ordering of tasks like device probing
                        (suppliers first, then consumers), supplier boot state
                        clean up (only after all consumers have probed),
                        suspend/resume & runtime PM (consumers first, then
                        suppliers).

                                but use it only for ordering boot state clean
                                up (sync_state() calls).
                        on --   Create device links from firmware info and use it
                                to enforce probe and suspend/resume ordering.

                        default value is 0x0, which has a special meaning.
                        On systems that have PCI, it triggers scanning the
                        PCI bus for the first and the second port, which
                        are then probed.  On systems without PCI the value
                        of 0x0 enables probing the two first ports as if it

        ieee754=        [MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode

                        Default: strict

                        Choose which programs will be accepted for execution
                        based on the IEEE 754 NaN encoding(s) supported by
                        the FPU and the NaN encoding requested with the value
                        of an ELF file header flag individually set by each
                        binary.  Hardware implementations are permitted to
                        support either or both of the legacy and the 2008 NaN
                        encoding mode.

                        Available settings are as follows:
                        strict  accept binaries that request a NaN encoding
                                supported by the FPU
                        legacy  only accept legacy-NaN binaries, if supported
                                by the FPU
                        2008    only accept 2008-NaN binaries, if supported
                                by the FPU
                        relaxed accept any binaries regardless of whether
                                supported by the FPU

                        The FPU emulator is always able to support both NaN
                        encodings, so if no FPU hardware is present or it has
                        been disabled with 'nofpu', then the settings of
                        'legacy' and '2008' strap the emulator accordingly,
                        'relaxed' straps the emulator for both legacy-NaN and
                        2008-NaN, whereas 'strict' enables legacy-NaN only on
                        legacy processors and both NaN encodings on MIPS32 or
                        MIPS64 CPUs.

                        The setting for ABS.fmt/NEG.fmt instruction execution
                        mode generally follows that for the NaN encoding,
                        except where unsupported by hardware.

                        firmware, policy, etc) based on file signatures.

                        The "fail_securely" policy forces file signature
                        verification failure also on privileged mounted

                        device has a dedicated DMAR unit, the DMAR unit is
                        bypassed by not enabling DMAR with this option. In
                        this case, gfx device will use physical address for
                        DMA.

                tboot_noforce [Default Off]
                        Do not force the Intel IOMMU enabled under tboot.
                        By default, tboot will force Intel IOMMU on, which
                        could harm performance of some high-throughput
                        devices like 40GBit network cards, even if identity
                        mapping is enabled.
                        Note that using this option lowers the security
                        provided by tboot because it makes the system
                        vulnerable to DMA attacks.

                          enabling its internal governor).  This mode cannot be
                          used along with the hardware-managed P-states (HWP)
                          feature.

                          in favor of acpi-cpufreq. Forcing the intel_pstate driver
                          instead of acpi-cpufreq may disable platform features, such
                          as thermal controls and power capping, that rely on ACPI
                          P-States information being indicated to OSPM and therefore
                          should be used with caution. This option does not work with
                          processors that aren't supported by the intel_pstate driver
                          or on platforms that use pcc-cpufreq instead of acpi-cpufreq.

                          need to affine to housekeeping through the global
                          workqueue's affinity configured via the
                          /sys/devices/virtual/workqueue/cpumask sysfs file, or
                          by using the 'domain' flag described below.

                          NOTE: by default the global workqueue runs on all CPUs,
                          so to protect individual CPUs the 'cpumask' file has to
                          be configured manually after bootup.

                        domain
                          Isolate from the general SMP balancing and scheduling
                          algorithms. Note that performing domain isolation this way
                          is irreversible: it's not possible to bring back a CPU to
                          the domains once isolated through isolcpus. It's strongly
                          advised to use cpusets instead to disable scheduler load
                          balancing through the "cpuset.sched_load_balance" file.
                          It offers a much more flexible interface where CPUs can
                          move in and out of an isolated set anytime.

                          You can move a process onto or off an "isolated" CPU via
                          the CPU affinity syscalls or cpuset.
                          <cpu number> begins at 0 and the maximum value is
                          "number of CPUs in system - 1".

                        managed_irq

                          Isolate from being targeted by managed interrupts
                          which have an interrupt mask containing isolated
                          CPUs. The affinity of managed interrupts is
                          handled by the kernel and cannot be changed via
                          the /proc/irq/* interfaces.

                          This isolation is best effort and only effective
                          if the automatically assigned interrupt mask of a
                          device queue contains isolated and housekeeping
                          CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such
                          interrupts are directed to the housekeeping CPU
                          so that IO submitted on the housekeeping CPU
                          cannot disturb the isolated CPU.

                          If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated
                          CPUs then this parameter has no effect on the
                          interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are
                          only delivered when tasks running on those
                          isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted on
                          housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those
                          queues.

                        The format of <cpu-list> is described above.

                        Format: nn[KMGTPE] | nn% | "mirror"
                        This parameter specifies the amount of memory usable by
                        the kernel for non-movable allocations.  The requested
                        amount is spread evenly throughout all nodes in the
                        system as ZONE_NORMAL.  The remaining memory is used for
                        movable memory in its own zone, ZONE_MOVABLE.  In the
                        event, a node is too small to have both ZONE_NORMAL and
                        ZONE_MOVABLE, kernelcore memory will take priority and
                        other nodes will have a larger ZONE_MOVABLE.

                        ZONE_MOVABLE is used for the allocation of pages that
                        may be reclaimed or moved by the page migration
                        subsystem.  Note that allocations like PTEs-from-HighMem
                        still use the HighMem zone if it exists, and the Normal
                        zone if it does not.

                        It is possible to specify the exact amount of memory in
                        the form of "nn[KMGTPE]", a percentage of total system
                        memory in the form of "nn%", or "mirror".  If "mirror"
                        option is specified, mirrored (reliable) memory is used
                        for non-movable allocations and remaining memory is used
                        for Movable pages.  "nn[KMGTPE]", "nn%", and "mirror"
                        are exclusive, so you cannot specify multiple forms.

        kgdbdbgp=       [KGDB,HW] kgdb over EHCI usb debug port.
                        Format: <Controller#>[,poll interval]
                        The controller # is the number of the ehci usb debug
                        port as it is probed via PCI.  The poll interval is
                        optional and is the number seconds in between
                        each poll cycle to the debug port in case you need
                        the functionality for interrupting the kernel with
                        gdb or control-c on the dbgp connection.  When
                        not using this parameter you use sysrq-g to break into
                        the kernel debugger.

        kgdboc=         [KGDB,HW] kgdb over consoles.
                        Requires a tty driver that supports console polling,
                        or a supported polling keyboard driver (non-usb).
                         Serial only format: <serial_device>[,baud]

        kgdboc_earlycon=        [KGDB,HW]
                        If the boot console provides the ability to read
                        characters and can work in polling mode, you can use
                        this parameter to tell kgdb to use it as a backend
                        until the normal console is registered. Intended to
                        be used together with the kgdboc parameter which
                        specifies the normal console to transition to.

                        The name of the early console should be specified
                        as the value of this parameter. Note that the name of
                        the early console might be different than the tty
                        name passed to kgdboc. It's OK to leave the value
                        blank and the first boot console that implements
                        read() will be picked.

        kprobe_event=[probe-list]

                        interface, but the parameters are comma delimited.
                        For example, to add a kprobe event on vfs_read with
                        arg1 and arg2, add to the command line;

        kvm.ignore_msrs=[KVM] Ignore guest accesses to unhandled MSRs.

        kvm.eager_page_split=
                        [KVM,X86] Controls whether or not KVM will try to
                        proactively split all huge pages during dirty logging.
                        Eager page splitting reduces interruptions to vCPU
                        execution by eliminating the write-protection faults
                        and MMU lock contention that would otherwise be
                        required to split huge pages lazily.

                        VM workloads that rarely perform writes or that write
                        only to a small region of VM memory may benefit from
                        disabling eager page splitting to allow huge pages to
                        still be used for reads.

                        The behavior of eager page splitting depends on whether
                        KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET is enabled or disabled. If
                        disabled, all huge pages in a memslot will be eagerly
                        split when dirty logging is enabled on that memslot. If
                        enabled, eager page splitting will be performed during
                        the KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY ioctl, and only for the pages being
                        cleared.

                        Eager page splitting currently only supports splitting
                        huge pages mapped by the TDP MMU.

                        Default is Y (on).

                        Default is 'auto'.

                        If the software workaround is enabled for the host,
                        guests do need not to enable it for nested guests.

        kvm.nx_huge_pages_recovery_ratio=

                        the value is N KVM will zap 1/Nth of the 4KiB pages every
                        period (see below).  The default is 60.

        kvm.nx_huge_pages_recovery_period_ms=
                        [KVM] Controls the time period at which KVM zaps 4KiB pages
                        back to huge pages. If the value is a non-zero N, KVM will
                        zap a portion (see ratio above) of the pages every N msecs.
                        If the value is 0 (the default), KVM will pick a period based
                        on the ratio, such that a page is zapped after 1 hour on average.

        kvm-amd.nested= [KVM,AMD] Allow nested virtualization in KVM/SVM.

                              protected guests.

                        protected: nVHE-based mode with support for guests whose
                                   state is kept private from the host.
                                   Not valid if the kernel is running in EL2.

                        Defaults to VHE/nVHE based on hardware support. Setting

                        Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against CPU
                        internal buffers which can forward information to a
                        disclosure gadget under certain conditions.

                        In vulnerable processors, the speculatively
                        forwarded data can be used in a cache side channel
                        attack, to access data to which the attacker does
                        not have direct access.

                        This parameter controls the mitigation. The
                        options are:

                        separated list of "[ID:]VAL" where ID is
                        PORT[.DEVICE].  PORT and DEVICE are decimal numbers
                        matching port, link or device.  Basically, it matches
                        the ATA ID string printed on console by libata.  If
                        the whole ID part is omitted, the last PORT and DEVICE
                        values are used.  If ID hasn't been specified yet, the
                        configuration applies to all ports, links and devices.

                        If only DEVICE is omitted, the parameter applies to
                        the port and all links and devices behind it.  DEVICE
                        number of 0 either selects the first device or the
                        first fan-out link behind PMP device.  It does not
                        select the host link.  DEVICE number of 15 selects the
                        host link and device attached to it.

                        The VAL specifies the configuration to force.  As long
                        as there's no ambiguity shortcut notation is allowed.
                        For example, both 1.5 and 1.5G would work for 1.5Gbps.
                        The following configurations can be forced.

                        * Transfer mode: pio[0-7], mwdma[0-4] and udma[0-7].
                          udma[/][16,25,33,44,66,100,133] notation is also
                          allowed.

                        * [no]ncq: Turn on or off NCQ.

                        * [no]ncqtrim: Turn off queued DSM TRIM.

                        * nohrst, nosrst, norst: suppress hard, soft
                          and both resets.

                        * rstonce: only attempt one reset during
                          hot-unplug link recovery

                        * dump_id: dump IDENTIFY data.

                        * atapi_dmadir: Enable ATAPI DMADIR bridge support

                        * disable: Disable this device.

                        If there are multiple matching configurations changing
                        the same attribute, the last one is used.

        locktorture.shuffle_interval= [KNL]
                        Set task-shuffle interval (jiffies).  Shuffling
                        tasks allows some CPUs to go into dyntick-idle

        locktorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL]
                        Set time (s) after boot system shutdown.  This
                        is useful for hands-off automated testing.

        locktorture.stat_interval= [KNL]
                        Time (s) between statistics printk()s.

        locktorture.stutter= [KNL]
                        Time (s) to stutter testing, for example,
                        specifying five seconds causes the test to run for
                        five seconds, wait for five seconds, and so on.
                        This tests the locking primitive's ability to
                        transition abruptly to and from idle.

                                lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
                                to associate lp devices with, starting with
                                lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
                                that lp device, or a parport name such as
                                'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
                                port specification list means that device IDs
                                from each port should be examined, to see if
                                an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
                                so, the driver will manage that printer.

        lpj=n           [KNL]
                        Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
                        time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
                        CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
                        the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
                        autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
                        on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
                        which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
                        significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
                        will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
                        unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
                        unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
                        hardware.

        max_addr=nn[KMG]        [KNL,BOOT,ia64] All physical memory greater

        maxcpus=        [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
                        will bring up during bootup.  maxcpus=n : n >= 0 limits
                        the kernel to bring up 'n' processors. Surely after
                        bootup you can bring up the other plugged cpu by executing
                        "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online". So maxcpus
                        only takes effect during system bootup.
                        While n=0 is a special case, it is equivalent to "nosmp",
                        which also disables the IO APIC.

        max_loop=       [LOOP] The number of loop block devices that get

                        of statically allocating a predefined number, loop
                        devices can be requested on-demand with the
                        /dev/loop-control interface.

                        Control mitigation for the Micro-architectural Data
                        Sampling (MDS) vulnerability.

                        Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against CPU
                        internal buffers which can forward information to a
                        disclosure gadget under certain conditions.

                        In vulnerable processors, the speculatively
                        forwarded data can be used in a cache side channel
                        attack, to access data to which the attacker does
                        not have direct access.

                        This parameter controls the MDS mitigation. The
                        options are:

                        full       - Enable MDS mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
                        full,nosmt - Enable MDS mitigation and disable
                                     SMT on vulnerable CPUs
                        off        - Unconditionally disable MDS mitigation

                        On TAA-affected machines, mds=off can be prevented by
                        an active TAA mitigation as both vulnerabilities are
                        mitigated with the same mechanism so in order to disable
                        this mitigation, you need to specify tsx_async_abort=off
                        too.

                        Not specifying this option is equivalent to
                        mds=full.

        mem=nn[KMG]     [HEXAGON] Set the memory size.
                        Must be specified, otherwise memory size will be 0.

        mem=nn[KMG]     [KNL,BOOT] Force usage of a specific amount of memory
                        Amount of memory to be used in cases as follows:

                        1 for test;
                        2 when the kernel is not able to see the whole system memory;
                        3 memory that lies after 'mem=' boundary is excluded from
                         the hypervisor, then assigned to KVM guests.
                        4 to limit the memory available for kdump kernel.

                        [ARC,MICROBLAZE] - the limit applies only to low memory,
                        high memory is not affected.

                        [ARM64] - only limits memory covered by the linear
                        mapping. The NOMAP regions are not affected.

                        [X86] Work as limiting max address. Use together
                        with memmap= to avoid physical address space collisions.
                        Without memmap= PCI devices could be placed at addresses
                        belonging to unused RAM.

                        Note that this only takes effects during boot time since
                        in above case 3, memory may need be hot added after boot
                        if system memory of hypervisor is not sufficient.

        mem=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]

        memhp_default_state=online/offline
                        [KNL] Set the initial state for the memory hotplug
                        onlining policy. If not specified, the default value is
                        set according to the
                        CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE kernel config
                        option.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst.

        memmap=exactmap [KNL,X86] Enable setting of an exact
                        E820 memory map, as specified by the user.
                        Such memmap=exactmap lines can be constructed based on
                        BIOS output or other requirements. See the memmap=nn@ss
                        option description.

        memmap=nn[KMG]@ss[KMG]
                        [KNL, X86, MIPS, XTENSA] Force usage of a specific region of memory.
                        Region of memory to be used is from ss to ss+nn.
                        If @ss[KMG] is omitted, it is equivalent to mem=nn[KMG],
                        which limits max address to nn[KMG].
                        Multiple different regions can be specified,
                        comma delimited.
                        Example:
                                memmap=100M@2G,100M#3G,1G!1024G

        memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as ACPI data.
                        Region of memory to be marked is from ss to ss+nn.

        memmap=nn[KMG]$ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,ACPI] Mark specific memory as reserved.
                        Region of memory to be reserved is from ss to ss+nn.
                        Example: Exclude memory from 0x18690000-0x1869ffff
                                 memmap=64K$0x18690000
                                 or
                                 memmap=0x10000$0x18690000
                        Some bootloaders may need an escape character before '$',
                        like Grub2, otherwise '$' and the following number
                        will be eaten.

        memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG]
                        [KNL,X86] Mark specific memory as protected.
                        Region of memory to be used, from ss to ss+nn.
                        The memory region may be marked as e820 type 12 (0xc)
                        and is NVDIMM or ADR memory.

        memmap=<size>%<offset>-<oldtype>+<newtype>
                        [KNL,ACPI] Convert memory within the specified region
                        from <oldtype> to <newtype>. If "-<oldtype>" is left
                        out, the whole region will be marked as <newtype>,
                        even if previously unavailable. If "+<newtype>" is left
                        out, matching memory will be removed. Types are
                        specified as e820 types, e.g., 1 = RAM, 2 = reserved,
                        3 = ACPI, 12 = PRAM.

        memory_corruption_check=0/1 [X86]
                        Some BIOSes seem to corrupt the first 64k of
                        memory when doing things like suspend/resume.
                        Setting this option will scan the memory
                        looking for corruption.  Enabling this will
                        both detect corruption and prevent the kernel
                        from using the memory being corrupted.
                        However, its intended as a diagnostic tool; if
                        repeatable BIOS-originated corruption always
                        affects the same memory, you can use memmap=
                        to prevent the kernel from using that memory.

        memory_corruption_check_size=size [X86]
                        By default it checks for corruption in the low
                        64k, making this memory unavailable for normal
                        use.  Use this parameter to scan for
                        corruption in more or less memory.

        memory_corruption_check_period=seconds [X86]
                        By default it checks for corruption every 60
                        seconds.  Use this parameter to check at some
                        other rate.  0 disables periodic checking.

        memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory
                        [KNL,X86,ARM] Boolean flag to enable this feature.
                        Format: {on | off (default)}
                        When enabled, runtime hotplugged memory will
                        allocate its internal metadata (struct pages)
                        from the hotadded memory which will allow to
                        hotadd a lot of memory without requiring
                        additional memory to do so.
                        This feature is disabled by default because it
                        has some implication on large (e.g. GB)
                        allocations in some configurations (e.g. small
                        memory blocks).
                        The state of the flag can be read in
                        /sys/module/memory_hotplug/parameters/memmap_on_memory.
                        Note that even when enabled, there are a few cases where
                        the feature is not effective.

                        This is not compatible with hugetlb_free_vmemmap. If
                        both parameters are enabled, hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
                        precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory.

        memtest=        [KNL,X86,ARM,M68K,PPC,RISCV] Enable memtest
                        Format: <integer>
                        default : 0 <disable>
                        Specifies the number of memtest passes to be
                        performed. Each pass selects another test
                        pattern from a given set of patterns. Memtest
                        fills the memory with this pattern, validates
                        memory contents and reserves bad memory
                        regions that are detected.

                        version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the
                        problem by letting the user disable the workaround.

                        Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
                        the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
                        unconfigured.

        mitigations=
                        [X86,PPC,S390,ARM64] Control optional mitigations for
                        CPU vulnerabilities.  This is a set of curated,
                        arch-independent options, each of which is an
                        aggregation of existing arch-specific options.

                                improves system performance, but it may also
                                expose users to several CPU vulnerabilities.

        mminit_loglevel=
                        [KNL] When CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set, this
                        parameter allows control of the logging verbosity for
                        the additional memory initialisation checks. A value
                        of 0 disables mminit logging and a level of 4 will
                        log everything. Information is printed at KERN_DEBUG
                        so loglevel=8 may also need to be specified.

        module.sig_enforce
                        [KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, this means that
                        modules without (valid) signatures will fail to load.
                        Note that if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is set, that
                        is always true, so this option does nothing.

        module_blacklist=  [KNL] Do not load a comma-separated list of
                        modules.  Useful for debugging problem modules.

        mousedev.tap_time=

                        Format: nn[KMGTPE] | nn%
                        This parameter is the complement to kernelcore=, it
                        specifies the amount of memory used for migratable
                        allocations.  If both kernelcore and movablecore is
                        specified, then kernelcore will be at *least* the
                        specified value but may be more.  If movablecore on its
                        own is specified, the administrator must be careful
                        that the amount of memory usable for all allocations
                        is not too small.

        movable_node    [KNL] Boot-time switch to make hotplugable memory
                        NUMA nodes to be movable. This means that the memory
                        of such nodes will be usable only for movable
                        allocations which rules out almost all kernel
                        allocations. Use with caution!

                        boundary - index of last SLC block on Flex-OneNAND.
                                   The remaining blocks are configured as MLC blocks.
                        lock     - Configure if Flex-OneNAND boundary should be locked.
                                   Once locked, the boundary cannot be changed.
                                   1 indicates lock status, 0 indicates unlock status.

        mtrr_chunk_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
                        used for mtrr cleanup. It is largest continuous chunk
                        that could hold holes aka. UC entries.

        mtrr_gran_size=nn[KMG] [X86]
                        Used for mtrr cleanup. It is granularity of mtrr block.
                        Default is 1.
                        Large value could prevent small alignment from
                        using up MTRRs.

                        Note that mem_start is often overloaded to mean
                        something different and driver-specific.
                        This usage is only documented in each driver source
                        file if at all.

        nfsroot=        [NFS] nfs root filesystem for disk-less boxes.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/nfs/nfsroot.rst.

        nfsrootdebug    [NFS] enable nfsroot debugging messages.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/nfs/nfsroot.rst.

        nfs.callback_nr_threads=
                        [NFSv4] set the total number of threads that the
                        NFS client will assign to service NFSv4 callback
                        requests.

        nfs.callback_tcpport=
                        [NFS] set the TCP port on which the NFSv4 callback
                        channel should listen.

        nfs.cache_getent=
                        [NFS] sets the pathname to the program which is used
                        to update the NFS client cache entries.

        nfs.cache_getent_timeout=
                        [NFS] sets the timeout after which an attempt to
                        update a cache entry is deemed to have failed.

        nfs.idmap_cache_timeout=
                        [NFS] set the maximum lifetime for idmapper cache
                        entries.

        nfs.enable_ino64=
                        [NFS] enable 64-bit inode numbers.
                        If zero, the NFS client will fake up a 32-bit inode
                        number for the readdir() and stat() syscalls instead
                        of returning the full 64-bit number.
                        The default is to return 64-bit inode numbers.

        nfs.max_session_cb_slots=
                        [NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session
                        slots the client will assign to the callback
                        channel. This determines the maximum number of
                        callbacks the client will process in parallel for
                        a particular server.

        nfs.max_session_slots=
                        [NFSv4.1] Sets the maximum number of session slots
                        the client will attempt to negotiate with the server.
                        This limits the number of simultaneous RPC requests
                        that the client can send to the NFSv4.1 server.
                        Note that there is little point in setting this
                        value higher than the max_tcp_slot_table_limit.

        nfs.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
                        [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', this option
                        ensures that both the RPC level authentication
                        scheme and the NFS level operations agree to use
                        numeric uids/gids if the mount is using the
                        'sec=sys' security flavour. In effect it is
                        disabling idmapping, which can make migration from
                        legacy NFSv2/v3 systems to NFSv4 easier.
                        Servers that do not support this mode of operation
                        will be autodetected by the client, and it will fall
                        back to using the idmapper.
                        To turn off this behaviour, set the value to '0'.
        nfs.nfs4_unique_id=
                        [NFS4] Specify an additional fixed unique ident-
                        ification string that NFSv4 clients can insert into
                        their nfs_client_id4 string.  This is typically a
                        UUID that is generated at system install time.

        nfs.send_implementation_id =
                        [NFSv4.1] Send client implementation identification
                        information in exchange_id requests.
                        If zero, no implementation identification information
                        will be sent.
                        The default is to send the implementation identification
                        information.

        nfs.recover_lost_locks =
                        [NFSv4] Attempt to recover locks that were lost due
                        to a lease timeout on the server. Please note that
                        doing this risks data corruption, since there are
                        no guarantees that the file will remain unchanged
                        after the locks are lost.
                        If you want to enable the kernel legacy behaviour of
                        attempting to recover these locks, then set this
                        parameter to '1'.
                        The default parameter value of '0' causes the kernel
                        not to attempt recovery of lost locks.

        nfs4.layoutstats_timer =
                        [NFSv4.2] Change the rate at which the kernel sends
                        layoutstats to the pNFS metadata server.

                        Setting this to value to 0 causes the kernel to use
                        whatever value is the default set by the layout
                        driver. A non-zero value sets the minimum interval
                        in seconds between layoutstats transmissions.

        nfsd.inter_copy_offload_enable =
                        [NFSv4.2] When set to 1, the server will support
                        server-to-server copies for which this server is
                        the destination of the copy.

        nfsd.nfsd4_ssc_umount_timeout =
                        [NFSv4.2] When used as the destination of a
                        server-to-server copy, knfsd temporarily mounts
                        the source server.  It caches the mount in case
                        it will be needed again, and discards it if not
                        used for the number of milliseconds specified by
                        this parameter.

        nfsd.nfs4_disable_idmapping=
                        [NFSv4] When set to the default of '1', the NFSv4
                        server will return only numeric uids and gids to
                        clients using auth_sys, and will accept numeric uids
                        and gids from such clients.  This is intended to ease
                        migration from NFSv2/v3.


        nmi_backtrace.backtrace_idle [KNL]
                        Dump stacks even of idle CPUs in response to an
                        NMI stack-backtrace request.

        nmi_debug=      [KNL,SH] Specify one or more actions to take
                        when a NMI is triggered.
                        Format: [state][,regs][,debounce][,die]

        nmi_watchdog=   [KNL,BUGS=X86] Debugging features for SMP kernels
                        Format: [panic,][nopanic,][num]
                        Valid num: 0 or 1
                        0 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog off
                        1 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog on
                        When panic is specified, panic when an NMI watchdog
                        timeout occurs (or 'nopanic' to not panic on an NMI
                        watchdog, if CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HARDLOCKUP_PANIC is set)
                        To disable both hard and soft lockup detectors,
                        please see 'nowatchdog'.
                        This is useful when you use a panic=... timeout and
                        need the box quickly up again.

                        These settings can be accessed at runtime via
                        the nmi_watchdog and hardlockup_panic sysctls.

        netpoll.carrier_timeout=
                        [NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
                        netpoll should wait for a carrier. By default netpoll
                        waits 4 seconds.

        no387           [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel to use the 387 maths
                        emulation library even if a 387 maths coprocessor
                        is present.

        no5lvl          [X86-64] Disable 5-level paging mode. Forces
                        kernel to use 4-level paging instead.

        nofsgsbase      [X86] Disables FSGSBASE instructions.

        no_console_suspend
                        [HW] Never suspend the console
                        Disable suspending of consoles during suspend and
                        hibernate operations.  Once disabled, debugging
                        messages can reach various consoles while the rest
                        of the system is being put to sleep (ie, while
                        debugging driver suspend/resume hooks).  This may
                        not work reliably with all consoles, but is known
                        to work with serial and VGA consoles.
                        To facilitate more flexible debugging, we also add
                        console_suspend, a printk module parameter to control
                        it. Users could use console_suspend (usually
                        /sys/module/printk/parameters/console_suspend) to
                        turn on/off it dynamically.

        novmcoredd      [KNL,KDUMP]
                        Disable device dump. Device dump allows drivers to
                        append dump data to vmcore so you can collect driver
                        specified debug info.  Drivers can append the data
                        without any limit and this data is stored in memory,
                        so this may cause significant memory stress.  Disabling
                        device dump can help save memory but the driver debug
                        data will be no longer available.  This parameter
                        is only available when CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_DUMP
                        is set.

        noaliencache    [MM, NUMA, SLAB] Disables the allocation of alien
                        caches in the slab allocator.  Saves per-node memory,
                        but will impact performance.

        noalign         [KNL,ARM]

        noaltinstr      [S390] Disables alternative instructions patching
                        (CPU alternatives feature).

        noapic          [SMP,APIC] Tells the kernel to not make use of any
                        IOAPICs that may be present in the system.

        noautogroup     Disable scheduler automatic task group creation.

        nobats          [PPC] Do not use BATs for mapping kernel lowmem
                        on "Classic" PPC cores.

        nocache         [ARM]

        noclflush       [BUGS=X86] Don't use the CLFLUSH instruction

        delayacct       [KNL] Enable per-task delay accounting

        nodsp           [SH] Disable hardware DSP at boot time.

        noefi           Disable EFI runtime services support.

        no_entry_flush  [PPC] Don't flush the L1-D cache when entering the kernel.

        noexec          [IA-64]

        noexec          [X86]
                        On X86-32 available only on PAE configured kernels.
                        noexec=on: enable non-executable mappings (default)
                        noexec=off: disable non-executable mappings

        nosmap          [X86,PPC]
                        Disable SMAP (Supervisor Mode Access Prevention)
                        even if it is supported by processor.

        nosmep          [X86,PPC64s]
                        Disable SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Prevention)
                        even if it is supported by processor.

        noexec32        [X86-64]
                        This affects only 32-bit executables.
                        noexec32=on: enable non-executable mappings (default)
                                read doesn't imply executable mappings
                        noexec32=off: disable non-executable mappings
                                read implies executable mappings

        nofpu           [MIPS,SH] Disable hardware FPU at boot time.

        nofxsr          [BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 floating point extended
                        register save and restore. The kernel will only save
                        legacy floating-point registers on task switch.

        nohugeiomap     [KNL,X86,PPC,ARM64] Disable kernel huge I/O mappings.

        nohugevmalloc   [PPC] Disable kernel huge vmalloc mappings.

        nosmt           [KNL,S390] Disable symmetric multithreading (SMT).
                        Equivalent to smt=1.

                        [KNL,X86] Disable symmetric multithreading (SMT).
                        nosmt=force: Force disable SMT, cannot be undone
                                     via the sysfs control file.

        nospectre_v1    [X86,PPC] Disable mitigations for Spectre Variant 1
                        (bounds check bypass). With this option data leaks are
                        possible in the system.

        nospectre_v2    [X86,PPC_FSL_BOOK3E,ARM64] Disable all mitigations for
                        the Spectre variant 2 (indirect branch prediction)
                        vulnerability. System may allow data leaks with this
                        option.

        nospec_store_bypass_disable
                        [HW] Disable all mitigations for the Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability

        no_uaccess_flush
                        [PPC] Don't flush the L1-D cache after accessing user data.

        noxsave         [BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save
                        and restore using xsave. The kernel will fallback to
                        enabling legacy floating-point and sse state.

        noxsaveopt      [X86] Disables xsaveopt used in saving x86 extended
                        register states. The kernel will fall back to use
                        xsave to save the states. By using this parameter,
                        performance of saving the states is degraded because
                        xsave doesn't support modified optimization while
                        xsaveopt supports it on xsaveopt enabled systems.

        noxsaves        [X86] Disables xsaves and xrstors used in saving and
                        restoring x86 extended register state in compacted
                        form of xsave area. The kernel will fall back to use
                        xsaveopt and xrstor to save and restore the states
                        in standard form of xsave area. By using this
                        parameter, xsave area per process might occupy more
                        memory on xsaves enabled systems.

        nohlt           [ARM,ARM64,MICROBLAZE,SH] Forces the kernel to busy wait
                        in do_idle() and not use the arch_cpu_idle()
                        implementation; requires CONFIG_GENERIC_IDLE_POLL_SETUP
                        to be effective. This is useful on platforms where the
                        sleep(SH) or wfi(ARM,ARM64) instructions do not work
                        correctly or when doing power measurements to evalute
                        the impact of the sleep instructions. This is also
                        useful when using JTAG debugger.

        no_file_caps    Tells the kernel not to honor file capabilities.  The
                        only way then for a file to be executed with privilege
                        is to be setuid root or executed by root.

        nohalt          [IA-64] Tells the kernel not to use the power saving
                        function PAL_HALT_LIGHT when idle. This increases
                        power-consumption. On the positive side, it reduces
                        interrupt wake-up latency, which may improve performance
                        in certain environments such as networked servers or
                        real-time systems.

        no_hash_pointers
                        Force pointers printed to the console or buffers to be
                        unhashed.  By default, when a pointer is printed via %p
                        format string, that pointer is "hashed", i.e. obscured
                        by hashing the pointer value.  This is a security feature
                        that hides actual kernel addresses from unprivileged
                        users, but it also makes debugging the kernel more
                        difficult since unequal pointers can no longer be
                        compared.  However, if this command-line option is
                        specified, then all normal pointers will have their true
                        value printed. This option should only be specified when
                        debugging the kernel.  Please do not use on production
                        kernels.

        nohibernate     [HIBERNATION] Disable hibernation and resume.

                        Default: on

        nohz_full=      [KNL,BOOT,SMP,ISOL]
                        The argument is a cpu list, as described above.
                        In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set
                        the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
                        whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside
                        the range to maintain the timekeeping.  Any CPUs
                        in this list will have their RCU callbacks offloaded,
                        just as if they had also been called out in the
                        rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.

        noiotrap        [SH] Disables trapped I/O port accesses.

                        clock and use the default one.

        no-steal-acc    [X86,PV_OPS,ARM64] Disable paravirtualized steal time
                        accounting. steal time is computed, but won't
                        influence scheduler behaviour

        nolapic         [X86-32,APIC] Do not enable or use the local APIC.

        nonmi_ipi       [X86] Disable using NMI IPIs during panic/reboot to
                        shutdown the other cpus.  Instead use the REBOOT_VECTOR
                        irq.

        nomodeset       Disable kernel modesetting. DRM drivers will not perform
                        display-mode changes or accelerated rendering. Only the
                        system framebuffer will be available for use if this was
                        set-up by the firmware or boot loader.

                        Useful as fallback, or for testing and debugging.

        nomodule        Disable module load

        nopat           [X86] Disable PAT (page attribute table extension of

        nordrand        [X86] Disable kernel use of the RDRAND and
                        RDSEED instructions even if they are supported
                        by the processor.  RDRAND and RDSEED are still
                        available to user space applications.

        noresume        [SWSUSP] Disables resume and restores original swap
                        space.

        no-scroll       [VGA] Disables scrollback.
                        This is required for the Braillex ib80-piezo Braille
                        reader made by F.H. Papenmeier (Germany).

        nosbagart       [IA-64]

        nosep           [BUGS=X86-32] Disables x86 SYSENTER/SYSEXIT support.

        nosgx           [X86-64,SGX] Disables Intel SGX kernel support.

        nosmp           [SMP] Tells an SMP kernel to act as a UP kernel,
                        and disable the IO APIC.  legacy for "maxcpus=0".

        nosoftlockup    [KNL] Disable the soft-lockup detector.

        nosync          [HW,M68K] Disables sync negotiation for all devices.

        nowatchdog      [KNL] Disable both lockup detectors, i.e.
                        soft-lockup and NMI watchdog (hard-lockup).

        nowb            [ARM]

        nox2apic        [X86-64,APIC] Do not enable x2APIC mode.

        cpu0_hotplug    [X86] Turn on CPU0 hotplug feature when
                        CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is off.
                        Some features depend on CPU0. Known dependencies are:
                        1. Resume from suspend/hibernate depends on CPU0.
                        Suspend/hibernate will fail if CPU0 is offline and you
                        need to online CPU0 before suspend/hibernate.
                        2. PIC interrupts also depend on CPU0. CPU0 can't be
                        removed if a PIC interrupt is detected.
                        It's said poweroff/reboot may depend on CPU0 on some
                        machines although I haven't seen such issues so far
                        after CPU0 is offline on a few tested machines.
                        If the dependencies are under your control, you can
                        turn on cpu0_hotplug.

        nps_mtm_hs_ctr= [KNL,ARC]
                        This parameter sets the maximum duration, in
                        cycles, each HW thread of the CTOP can run
                        without interruptions, before HW switches it.
                        The actual maximum duration is 16 times this
                        parameter's value.
                        Format: integer between 1 and 255
                        Default: 255

        nptcg=          [IA-64] Override max number of concurrent global TLB
                        purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or
                        SAL PALO.

        nr_cpus=        [SMP] Maximum number of processors that an SMP kernel
                        could support.  nr_cpus=n : n >= 1 limits the kernel to
                        support 'n' processors. It could be larger than the
                        number of already plugged CPU during bootup, later in
                        runtime you can physically add extra cpu until it reaches
                        n. So during boot up some boot time memory for per-cpu
                        variables need be pre-allocated for later physical cpu
                        hot plugging.

        nr_uarts=       [SERIAL] maximum number of UARTs to be registered.

        numa=off        [KNL, ARM64, PPC, RISCV, SPARC, X86] Disable NUMA, Only
                        set up a single NUMA node spanning all memory.

        numa_balancing= [KNL,ARM64,PPC,RISCV,S390,X86] Enable or disable automatic
                        NUMA balancing.
                        Allowed values are enable and disable

        numa_zonelist_order= [KNL, BOOT] Select zonelist order for NUMA.
                        'node', 'default' can be specified
                        This can be set from sysctl after boot.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst for details.

        ohci1394_dma=early      [HW] enable debugging via the ohci1394 driver.
                        See Documentation/core-api/debugging-via-ohci1394.rst for more
                        info.

        olpc_ec_timeout= [OLPC] ms delay when issuing EC commands
                        Rather than timing out after 20 ms if an EC
                        command is not properly ACKed, override the length
                        of the timeout.  We have interrupts disabled while
                        waiting for the ACK, so if this is set too high
                        interrupts *may* be lost!

        omap_mux=       [OMAP] Override bootloader pin multiplexing.
                        Format: <mux_mode0.mode_name=value>...
                        For example, to override I2C bus2:
                        omap_mux=i2c2_scl.i2c2_scl=0x100,i2c2_sda.i2c2_sda=0x100

        oops=panic      Always panic on oopses. Default is to just kill the
                        process, but there is a small probability of
                        deadlocking the machine.
                        This will also cause panics on machine check exceptions.
                        Useful together with panic=30 to trigger a reboot.

        page_alloc.shuffle=
                        [KNL] Boolean flag to control whether the page allocator
                        should randomize its free lists. The randomization may
                        be automatically enabled if the kernel detects it is
                        running on a platform with a direct-mapped memory-side
                        cache, and this parameter can be used to
                        override/disable that behavior. The state of the flag
                        can be read from sysfs at:
                        /sys/module/page_alloc/parameters/shuffle.

        page_owner=     [KNL] Boot-time page_owner enabling option.
                        Storage of the information about who allocated
                        each page is disabled in default. With this switch,
                        we can turn it on.
                        on: enable the feature

        page_poison=    [KNL] Boot-time parameter changing the state of
                        poisoning on the buddy allocator, available with
                        CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING=y.
                        off: turn off poisoning (default)
                        on: turn on poisoning

        page_reporting.page_reporting_order=
                        [KNL] Minimal page reporting order
                        Format: <integer>
                        Adjust the minimal page reporting order. The page
                        reporting is disabled when it exceeds (MAX_ORDER-1).

        panic=          [KNL] Kernel behaviour on panic: delay <timeout>
                        timeout > 0: seconds before rebooting
                        timeout = 0: wait forever
                        timeout < 0: reboot immediately
                        Format: <timeout>

        panic_print=    Bitmask for printing system info when panic happens.
                        User can chose combination of the following bits:
                        bit 0: print all tasks info
                        bit 1: print system memory info
                        bit 2: print timer info
                        bit 3: print locks info if CONFIG_LOCKDEP is on
                        bit 4: print ftrace buffer
                        bit 5: print all printk messages in buffer
                        bit 6: print all CPUs backtrace (if available in the arch)
                        *Be aware* that this option may print a _lot_ of lines,
                        so there are risks of losing older messages in the log.
                        Use this option carefully, maybe worth to setup a
                        bigger log buffer with "log_buf_len" along with this.

        panic_on_taint= Bitmask for conditionally calling panic() in add_taint()
                        Format: <hex>[,nousertaint]
                        Hexadecimal bitmask representing the set of TAINT flags
                        that will cause the kernel to panic when add_taint() is
                        called with any of the flags in this set.
                        The optional switch "nousertaint" can be utilized to
                        prevent userspace forced crashes by writing to sysctl
                        /proc/sys/kernel/tainted any flagset matching with the
                        bitmask set on panic_on_taint.
                        See Documentation/admin-guide/tainted-kernels.rst for
                        extra details on the taint flags that users can pick
                        to compose the bitmask to assign to panic_on_taint.

        panic_on_warn   panic() instead of WARN().  Useful to cause kdump
                        on a WARN().

        crash_kexec_post_notifiers
                        Run kdump after running panic-notifiers and dumping
                        kmsg. This only for the users who doubt kdump always
                        succeeds in any situation.
                        Note that this also increases risks of kdump failure,
                        because some panic notifiers can make the crashed
                        kernel more unstable.

        parkbd.port=    [HW] Parallel port number the keyboard adapter is
                        connected to, default is 0.
                        Format: <parport#>
        parkbd.mode=    [HW] Parallel port keyboard adapter mode of operation,
                        0 for XT, 1 for AT (default is AT).
                        Format: <mode>

        parport=        [HW,PPT] Specify parallel ports. 0 disables.
                        Format: { 0 | auto | 0xBBB[,IRQ[,DMA]] }
                        Use 'auto' to force the driver to use any
                        IRQ/DMA settings detected (the default is to
                        ignore detected IRQ/DMA settings because of
                        possible conflicts). You can specify the base
                        address, IRQ, and DMA settings; IRQ and DMA
                        should be numbers, or 'auto' (for using detected
                        settings on that particular port), or 'nofifo'
                        (to avoid using a FIFO even if it is detected).
                        Parallel ports are assigned in the order they
                        are specified on the command line, starting
                        with parport0.

        parport_init_mode=      [HW,PPT]
                        Configure VIA parallel port to operate in
                        a specific mode. This is necessary on Pegasos
                        computer where firmware has no options for setting
                        up parallel port mode and sets it to spp.
                        Currently this function knows 686a and 8231 chips.
                        Format: [spp|ps2|epp|ecp|ecpepp]

        pata_legacy.all=        [HW,LIBATA]

                        for the respective channel.  Bit 0 is for the first
                        legacy channel handled by this driver, bit 1 is for
                        the second channel, and so on.  The sequence will often
                        correspond to the primary legacy channel, the secondary
                        legacy channel, and so on, but the handling of a PCI
                        bus and the use of other driver options may interfere
                        with the sequence.  By default IORDY is allowed across
                        all channels.

        pata_legacy.pio_mask=   [HW,LIBATA]
                        Format: <int>
                        PIO mode mask for autospeed devices.  Set individual
                        bits to allow the use of the respective PIO modes.
                        Bit 0 is for mode 0, bit 1 is for mode 1, and so on.
                        All modes allowed by default.

        pata_legacy.probe_all=  [HW,LIBATA]

        pata_legacy.probe_mask= [HW,LIBATA]
                        Format: <int>
                        Probe mask for legacy ISA PATA ports.  Depending on
                        platform configuration and the use of other driver
                        options up to 6 legacy ports are supported: 0x1f0,
                        0x170, 0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0, 0x160, however probing
                        of individual ports can be disabled by setting the
                        corresponding bits in the mask to 1.  Bit 0 is for
                        the first port in the list above (0x1f0), and so on.
                        By default all supported ports are probed.

        pci=option[,option...]  [PCI] various PCI subsystem options.

                                Some options herein operate on a specific device
                                or a set of devices (<pci_dev>). These are
                                specified in one of the following formats:

                                [<domain>:]<bus>:<dev>.<func>[/<dev>.<func>]*
                                pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>]

                                Note: the first format specifies a PCI
                                bus/device/function address which may change
                                if new hardware is inserted, if motherboard
                                firmware changes, or due to changes caused
                                by other kernel parameters. If the
                                domain is left unspecified, it is
                                taken to be zero. Optionally, a path
                                to a device through multiple device/function
                                addresses can be specified after the base
                                address (this is more robust against
                                renumbering issues).  The second format
                                selects devices using IDs from the
                                configuration space which may match multiple
                                devices in the system.

                                the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
                                has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
                nobios          [X86-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
                                hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
                                if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
                                suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
                conf1           [X86] Force use of PCI Configuration Access
                                Mechanism 1 (config address in IO port 0xCF8,
                                data in IO port 0xCFC, both 32-bit).

                                Mechanism 2 (IO port 0xCF8 is an 8-bit port for
                                the function, IO port 0xCFA, also 8-bit, sets
                                bus number. The config space is then accessed
                                through ports 0xC000-0xCFFF).

                noaer           [PCIE] If the PCIEAER kernel config parameter is
                                enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
                                disable the use of PCIE advanced error reporting.
                nodomains       [PCI] Disable support for multiple PCI
                                root domains (aka PCI segments, in ACPI-speak).
                nommconf        [X86] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
                                Configuration
                check_enable_amd_mmconf [X86] check for and enable
                                properly configured MMIO access to PCI
                                config space on AMD family 10h CPU
                nomsi           [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
                                enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
                                disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
                noioapicquirk   [APIC] Disable all boot interrupt quirks.
                                Safety option to keep boot IRQs enabled. This
                                should never be necessary.
                ioapicreroute   [APIC] Enable rerouting of boot IRQs to the
                                primary IO-APIC for bridges that cannot disable
                                boot IRQs. This fixes a source of spurious IRQs
                                when the system masks IRQs.
                noioapicreroute [APIC] Disable workaround that uses the
                                boot IRQ equivalent of an IRQ that connects to
                                a chipset where boot IRQs cannot be disabled.
                                The opposite of ioapicreroute.
                biosirq         [X86-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
                                routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
                                on several machines and they hang the machine
                                when used, but on other computers it's the only
                                way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
                                this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
                                IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
                                motherboard.
                rom             [X86] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
                                Use with caution as certain devices share
                                address decoders between ROMs and other
                                resources.
                norom           [X86] Do not assign address space to
                                expansion ROMs that do not already have
                                BIOS assigned address ranges.
                nobar           [X86] Do not assign address space to the
                                BARs that weren't assigned by the BIOS.
                irqmask=0xMMMM  [X86] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
                                assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
                                make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
                                this way.
                pirqaddr=0xAAAAA        [X86] Specify the physical address
                                of the PIRQ table (normally generated
                                by the BIOS) if it is outside the
                                F0000h-100000h range.
                lastbus=N       [X86] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
                                useful if the kernel is unable to find your
                                secondary buses and you want to tell it
                                explicitly which ones they are.
                assign-busses   [X86] Always assign all PCI bus
                                numbers ourselves, overriding
                                whatever the firmware may have done.
                usepirqmask     [X86] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
                                in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
                                some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
                                some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
                                notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
                                IRQ routing is enabled.
                noacpi          [X86] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
                                or for PCI scanning.
                use_crs         [X86] Use PCI host bridge window information
                                from ACPI.  On BIOSes from 2008 or later, this
                                is enabled by default.  If you need to use this,
                                please report a bug.
                nocrs           [X86] Ignore PCI host bridge windows from ACPI.
                                If you need to use this, please report a bug.
                routeirq        Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
                                This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
                                so this option is a temporary workaround
                                for broken drivers that don't call it.
                skip_isa_align  [X86] do not align io start addr, so can
                                handle more pci cards
                noearly         [X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
                                This might help on some broken boards which
                                machine check when some devices' config space
                                is read. But various workarounds are disabled
                                and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
                bfsort          Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
                                This sorting is done to get a device
                                order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
                nobfsort        Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
                pcie_bus_tune_off       Disable PCIe MPS (Max Payload Size)
                                tuning and use the BIOS-configured MPS defaults.
                pcie_bus_safe   Set every device's MPS to the largest value
                                supported by all devices below the root complex.
                pcie_bus_perf   Set device MPS to the largest allowable MPS
                                based on its parent bus. Also set MRRS (Max
                                Read Request Size) to the largest supported
                                value (no larger than the MPS that the device
                                or bus can support) for best performance.
                pcie_bus_peer2peer      Set every device's MPS to 128B, which
                                every device is guaranteed to support. This
                                configuration allows peer-to-peer DMA between
                                any pair of devices, possibly at the cost of
                                reduced performance.  This also guarantees
                                that hot-added devices will work.
                cbiosize=nn[KMG]        The fixed amount of bus space which is
                                reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.

                                Specifies alignment and device to reassign
                                aligned memory resources. How to
                                specify the device is described above.
                                If <order of align> is not specified,
                                PAGE_SIZE is used as alignment.
                                A PCI-PCI bridge can be specified if resource
                                windows need to be expanded.

                                specified, e.g., 12@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f
                                for 4096-byte alignment.

                        available on architectures that have defined
                        CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET.

                cec_disable     [X86]
                                Disable the Correctable Errors Collector,

        rcu_nocbs[=cpu-list]
                        [KNL] The optional argument is a cpu list,
                        as described above.

                        In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y,
                        enable the no-callback CPU mode, which prevents
                        such CPUs' callbacks from being invoked in
                        softirq context.  Invocation of such CPUs' RCU
                        callbacks will instead be offloaded to "rcuox/N"
                        kthreads created for that purpose, where "x" is
                        "p" for RCU-preempt, "s" for RCU-sched, and "g"
                        for the kthreads that mediate grace periods; and
                        "N" is the CPU number. This reduces OS jitter on
                        the offloaded CPUs, which can be useful for HPC
                        and real-time workloads.  It can also improve
                        energy efficiency for asymmetric multiprocessors.

                        If a cpulist is passed as an argument, the specified
                        list of CPUs is set to no-callback mode from boot.

                        Otherwise, if the '=' sign and the cpulist
                        arguments are omitted, no CPU will be set to
                        no-callback mode from boot but the mode may be
                        toggled at runtime via cpusets.

        rcu_nocb_poll   [KNL]
                        Rather than requiring that offloaded CPUs
                        (specified by rcu_nocbs= above) explicitly
                        awaken the corresponding "rcuoN" kthreads,
                        make these kthreads poll for callbacks.
                        This improves the real-time response for the
                        offloaded CPUs by relieving them of the need to
                        wake up the corresponding kthread, but degrades
                        energy efficiency by requiring that the kthreads
                        periodically wake up to do the polling.

        rcutree.blimit= [KNL]
                        Set maximum number of finished RCU callbacks to
                        process in one batch.

        rcutree.dump_tree=      [KNL]
                        Dump the structure of the rcu_node combining tree
                        out at early boot.  This is used for diagnostic
                        purposes, to verify correct tree setup.

        rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay=       [KNL]
                        Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
                        RCU grace-period cleanup.

        rcutree.gp_init_delay=  [KNL]
                        Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
                        RCU grace-period initialization.

        rcutree.gp_preinit_delay=       [KNL]
                        Set the number of jiffies to delay each step of
                        RCU grace-period pre-initialization, that is,
                        the propagation of recent CPU-hotplug changes up
                        the rcu_node combining tree.

        rcutree.use_softirq=    [KNL]
                        If set to zero, move all RCU_SOFTIRQ processing to
                        per-CPU rcuc kthreads.  Defaults to a non-zero
                        value, meaning that RCU_SOFTIRQ is used by default.
                        Specify rcutree.use_softirq=0 to use rcuc kthreads.

                        But note that CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels disable
                        this kernel boot parameter, forcibly setting it
                        to zero.

        rcutree.rcu_fanout_exact= [KNL]
                        Disable autobalancing of the rcu_node combining
                        tree.  This is used by rcutorture, and might
                        possibly be useful for architectures having high
                        cache-to-cache transfer latencies.

        rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf= [KNL]
                        Change the number of CPUs assigned to each
                        leaf rcu_node structure.  Useful for very
                        large systems, which will choose the value 64,
                        and for NUMA systems with large remote-access
                        latencies, which will choose a value aligned
                        with the appropriate hardware boundaries.

        rcutree.rcu_min_cached_objs= [KNL]
                        Minimum number of objects which are cached and
                        maintained per one CPU. Object size is equal
                        to PAGE_SIZE. The cache allows to reduce the
                        pressure to page allocator, also it makes the
                        whole algorithm to behave better in low memory
                        condition.

        rcutree.rcu_delay_page_cache_fill_msec= [KNL]
                        Set the page-cache refill delay (in milliseconds)
                        in response to low-memory conditions.  The range
                        of permitted values is in the range 0:100000.

        rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs= [KNL]
                        Set delay from grace-period initialization to
                        first attempt to force quiescent states.
                        Units are jiffies, minimum value is zero,
                        and maximum value is HZ.

        rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs= [KNL]
                        Set delay between subsequent attempts to force
                        quiescent states.  Units are jiffies, minimum
                        value is one, and maximum value is HZ.

        rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs= [KNL]
                        Set required age in jiffies for a
                        given grace period before RCU starts
                        soliciting quiescent-state help from
                        rcu_note_context_switch() and cond_resched().
                        If not specified, the kernel will calculate
                        a value based on the most recent settings
                        of rcutree.jiffies_till_first_fqs
                        and rcutree.jiffies_till_next_fqs.
                        This calculated value may be viewed in
                        rcutree.jiffies_to_sched_qs.  Any attempt to set
                        rcutree.jiffies_to_sched_qs will be cheerfully
                        overwritten.

        rcutree.kthread_prio=    [KNL,BOOT]
                        Set the SCHED_FIFO priority of the RCU per-CPU
                        kthreads (rcuc/N). This value is also used for
                        the priority of the RCU boost threads (rcub/N)
                        and for the RCU grace-period kthreads (rcu_bh,
                        rcu_preempt, and rcu_sched). If RCU_BOOST is
                        set, valid values are 1-99 and the default is 1
                        (the least-favored priority).  Otherwise, when
                        RCU_BOOST is not set, valid values are 0-99 and
                        the default is zero (non-realtime operation).
                        When RCU_NOCB_CPU is set, also adjust the
                        priority of NOCB callback kthreads.

        rcutree.rcu_nocb_gp_stride= [KNL]
                        Set the number of NOCB callback kthreads in
                        each group, which defaults to the square root
                        of the number of CPUs.  Larger numbers reduce
                        the wakeup overhead on the global grace-period
                        kthread, but increases that same overhead on
                        each group's NOCB grace-period kthread.

        rcutree.qhimark= [KNL]
                        Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks beyond which
                        batch limiting is disabled.

        rcutree.qlowmark= [KNL]
                        Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks below which
                        batch limiting is re-enabled.

        rcutree.qovld= [KNL]
                        Set threshold of queued RCU callbacks beyond which
                        RCU's force-quiescent-state scan will aggressively
                        enlist help from cond_resched() and sched IPIs to
                        help CPUs more quickly reach quiescent states.
                        Set to less than zero to make this be set based
                        on rcutree.qhimark at boot time and to zero to
                        disable more aggressive help enlistment.

        rcutree.rcu_kick_kthreads= [KNL]
                        Cause the grace-period kthread to get an extra
                        wake_up() if it sleeps three times longer than
                        it should at force-quiescent-state time.
                        This wake_up() will be accompanied by a
                        WARN_ONCE() splat and an ftrace_dump().

        rcutree.rcu_unlock_delay= [KNL]
                        In CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y kernels,
                        this specifies an rcu_read_unlock()-time delay
                        in microseconds.  This defaults to zero.
                        Larger delays increase the probability of
                        catching RCU pointer leaks, that is, buggy use
                        of RCU-protected pointers after the relevant
                        rcu_read_unlock() has completed.

        rcutree.sysrq_rcu= [KNL]
                        Commandeer a sysrq key to dump out Tree RCU's
                        rcu_node tree with an eye towards determining
                        why a new grace period has not yet started.

        rcuscale.gp_async= [KNL]
                        Measure performance of asynchronous
                        grace-period primitives such as call_rcu().

        rcuscale.gp_async_max= [KNL]
                        Specify the maximum number of outstanding
                        callbacks per writer thread.  When a writer
                        thread exceeds this limit, it invokes the
                        corresponding flavor of rcu_barrier() to allow
                        previously posted callbacks to drain.

        rcuscale.gp_exp= [KNL]
                        Measure performance of expedited synchronous
                        grace-period primitives.

        rcuscale.holdoff= [KNL]
                        Set test-start holdoff period.  The purpose of
                        this parameter is to delay the start of the
                        test until boot completes in order to avoid
                        interference.

        rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test= [KNL]
                        Set to measure performance of kfree_rcu() flooding.

        rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test_double= [KNL]
                        Test the double-argument variant of kfree_rcu().
                        If this parameter has the same value as
                        rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test_single, both the single-
                        and double-argument variants are tested.

        rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test_single= [KNL]
                        Test the single-argument variant of kfree_rcu().
                        If this parameter has the same value as
                        rcuscale.kfree_rcu_test_double, both the single-
                        and double-argument variants are tested.

        rcuscale.kfree_nthreads= [KNL]
                        The number of threads running loops of kfree_rcu().

        rcuscale.kfree_alloc_num= [KNL]
                        Number of allocations and frees done in an iteration.

        rcuscale.kfree_loops= [KNL]
                        Number of loops doing rcuscale.kfree_alloc_num number
                        of allocations and frees.

        rcuscale.nreaders= [KNL]
                        Set number of RCU readers.  The value -1 selects
                        N, where N is the number of CPUs.  A value
                        "n" less than -1 selects N-n+1, where N is again
                        the number of CPUs.  For example, -2 selects N
                        (the number of CPUs), -3 selects N+1, and so on.
                        A value of "n" less than or equal to -N selects
                        a single reader.

        rcuscale.nwriters= [KNL]
                        Set number of RCU writers.  The values operate
                        the same as for rcuscale.nreaders.
                        N, where N is the number of CPUs

        rcuscale.perf_type= [KNL]
                        Specify the RCU implementation to test.

        rcuscale.shutdown= [KNL]
                        Shut the system down after performance tests
                        complete.  This is useful for hands-off automated
                        testing.

        rcuscale.verbose= [KNL]
                        Enable additional printk() statements.

        rcuscale.writer_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Write-side holdoff between grace periods,
                        in microseconds.  The default of zero says
                        no holdoff.

        rcutorture.fqs_duration= [KNL]
                        Set duration of force_quiescent_state bursts
                        in microseconds.

        rcutorture.fqs_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Set holdoff time within force_quiescent_state bursts
                        in microseconds.

        rcutorture.fqs_stutter= [KNL]
                        Set wait time between force_quiescent_state bursts
                        in seconds.

        rcutorture.fwd_progress= [KNL]
                        Specifies the number of kthreads to be used
                        for  RCU grace-period forward-progress testing
                        for the types of RCU supporting this notion.
                        Defaults to 1 kthread, values less than zero or
                        greater than the number of CPUs cause the number
                        of CPUs to be used.

        rcutorture.fwd_progress_div= [KNL]
                        Specify the fraction of a CPU-stall-warning
                        period to do tight-loop forward-progress testing.

        rcutorture.fwd_progress_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Number of seconds to wait between successive
                        forward-progress tests.

        rcutorture.fwd_progress_need_resched= [KNL]
                        Enclose cond_resched() calls within checks for
                        need_resched() during tight-loop forward-progress
                        testing.

        rcutorture.gp_cond= [KNL]
                        Use conditional/asynchronous update-side
                        primitives, if available.

        rcutorture.gp_exp= [KNL]
                        Use expedited update-side primitives, if available.

        rcutorture.gp_normal= [KNL]
                        Use normal (non-expedited) asynchronous
                        update-side primitives, if available.

        rcutorture.gp_sync= [KNL]
                        Use normal (non-expedited) synchronous
                        update-side primitives, if available.  If all
                        of rcutorture.gp_cond=, rcutorture.gp_exp=,
                        rcutorture.gp_normal=, and rcutorture.gp_sync=
                        are zero, rcutorture acts as if is interpreted
                        they are all non-zero.

        rcutorture.irqreader= [KNL]
                        Run RCU readers from irq handlers, or, more
                        accurately, from a timer handler.  Not all RCU
                        flavors take kindly to this sort of thing.

        rcutorture.leakpointer= [KNL]
                        Leak an RCU-protected pointer out of the reader.
                        This can of course result in splats, and is
                        intended to test the ability of things like
                        CONFIG_RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD=y to detect
                        such leaks.

        rcutorture.n_barrier_cbs= [KNL]
                        Set callbacks/threads for rcu_barrier() testing.

        rcutorture.nfakewriters= [KNL]
                        Set number of concurrent RCU writers.  These just
                        stress RCU, they don't participate in the actual
                        test, hence the "fake".

        rcutorture.nocbs_nthreads= [KNL]
                        Set number of RCU callback-offload togglers.
                        Zero (the default) disables toggling.

        rcutorture.nocbs_toggle= [KNL]
                        Set the delay in milliseconds between successive
                        callback-offload toggling attempts.

        rcutorture.nreaders= [KNL]
                        Set number of RCU readers.  The value -1 selects
                        N-1, where N is the number of CPUs.  A value
                        "n" less than -1 selects N-n-2, where N is again
                        the number of CPUs.  For example, -2 selects N
                        (the number of CPUs), -3 selects N+1, and so on.

        rcutorture.object_debug= [KNL]
                        Enable debug-object double-call_rcu() testing.

        rcutorture.onoff_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Set time (s) after boot for CPU-hotplug testing.

        rcutorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]
                        Set time (jiffies) between CPU-hotplug operations,
                        or zero to disable CPU-hotplug testing.

        rcutorture.read_exit= [KNL]
                        Set the number of read-then-exit kthreads used
                        to test the interaction of RCU updaters and
                        task-exit processing.

        rcutorture.read_exit_burst= [KNL]
                        The number of times in a given read-then-exit
                        episode that a set of read-then-exit kthreads
                        is spawned.

        rcutorture.read_exit_delay= [KNL]
                        The delay, in seconds, between successive
                        read-then-exit testing episodes.

        rcutorture.shuffle_interval= [KNL]
                        Set task-shuffle interval (s).  Shuffling tasks
                        allows some CPUs to go into dyntick-idle mode
                        during the rcutorture test.

        rcutorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL]
                        Set time (s) after boot system shutdown.  This
                        is useful for hands-off automated testing.

        rcutorture.stall_cpu= [KNL]
                        Duration of CPU stall (s) to test RCU CPU stall
                        warnings, zero to disable.

        rcutorture.stall_cpu_block= [KNL]
                        Sleep while stalling if set.  This will result
                        in warnings from preemptible RCU in addition
                        to any other stall-related activity.

        rcutorture.stall_cpu_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Time to wait (s) after boot before inducing stall.

        rcutorture.stall_cpu_irqsoff= [KNL]
                        Disable interrupts while stalling if set.

        rcutorture.stall_gp_kthread= [KNL]
                        Duration (s) of forced sleep within RCU
                        grace-period kthread to test RCU CPU stall
                        warnings, zero to disable.  If both stall_cpu
                        and stall_gp_kthread are specified, the
                        kthread is starved first, then the CPU.

        rcutorture.stat_interval= [KNL]
                        Time (s) between statistics printk()s.

        rcutorture.stutter= [KNL]
                        Time (s) to stutter testing, for example, specifying
                        five seconds causes the test to run for five seconds,
                        wait for five seconds, and so on.  This tests RCU's
                        ability to transition abruptly to and from idle.

        rcutorture.test_boost= [KNL]
                        Test RCU priority boosting?  0=no, 1=maybe, 2=yes.
                        "Maybe" means test if the RCU implementation
                        under test support RCU priority boosting.

        rcutorture.test_boost_duration= [KNL]
                        Duration (s) of each individual boost test.

        rcutorture.test_boost_interval= [KNL]
                        Interval (s) between each boost test.

        rcutorture.test_no_idle_hz= [KNL]
                        Test RCU's dyntick-idle handling.  See also the
                        rcutorture.shuffle_interval parameter.

        rcutorture.torture_type= [KNL]
                        Specify the RCU implementation to test.

        rcutorture.verbose= [KNL]
                        Enable additional printk() statements.

        rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_ftrace_dump= [KNL]
                        Dump ftrace buffer after reporting RCU CPU
                        stall warning.

        rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress= [KNL]
                        Suppress RCU CPU stall warning messages.

        rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress_at_boot= [KNL]
                        Suppress RCU CPU stall warning messages and
                        rcutorture writer stall warnings that occur
                        during early boot, that is, during the time
                        before the init task is spawned.

        rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout= [KNL]
                        Set timeout for RCU CPU stall warning messages.

        rcupdate.rcu_expedited= [KNL]
                        Use expedited grace-period primitives, for
                        example, synchronize_rcu_expedited() instead
                        of synchronize_rcu().  This reduces latency,
                        but can increase CPU utilization, degrade
                        real-time latency, and degrade energy efficiency.
                        No effect on CONFIG_TINY_RCU kernels.

        rcupdate.rcu_normal= [KNL]
                        Use only normal grace-period primitives,
                        for example, synchronize_rcu() instead of
                        synchronize_rcu_expedited().  This improves
                        real-time latency, CPU utilization, and
                        energy efficiency, but can expose users to
                        increased grace-period latency.  This parameter
                        overrides rcupdate.rcu_expedited.  No effect on
                        CONFIG_TINY_RCU kernels.

        rcupdate.rcu_normal_after_boot= [KNL]
                        Once boot has completed (that is, after
                        rcu_end_inkernel_boot() has been invoked), use
                        only normal grace-period primitives.  No effect
                        on CONFIG_TINY_RCU kernels.

                        But note that CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels enables
                        this kernel boot parameter, forcibly setting
                        it to the value one, that is, converting any
                        post-boot attempt at an expedited RCU grace
                        period to instead use normal non-expedited
                        grace-period processing.

        rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_lim= [KNL]
                        Set the maximum number of callbacks present
                        at the beginning of a grace period that allows
                        the RCU Tasks flavors to collapse back to using
                        a single callback queue.  This switching only
                        occurs when rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim is
                        set to the default value of -1.

        rcupdate.rcu_task_contend_lim= [KNL]
                        Set the minimum number of callback-queuing-time
                        lock-contention events per jiffy required to
                        cause the RCU Tasks flavors to switch to per-CPU
                        callback queuing.  This switching only occurs
                        when rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim is set to
                        the default value of -1.

        rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim= [KNL]
                        Set the number of callback queues to use for the
                        RCU Tasks family of RCU flavors.  The default
                        of -1 allows this to be automatically (and
                        dynamically) adjusted.  This parameter is intended
                        for use in testing.

        rcupdate.rcu_task_ipi_delay= [KNL]
                        Set time in jiffies during which RCU tasks will
                        avoid sending IPIs, starting with the beginning
                        of a given grace period.  Setting a large
                        number avoids disturbing real-time workloads,
                        but lengthens grace periods.

        rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_timeout= [KNL]
                        Set timeout in jiffies for RCU task stall warning
                        messages.  Disable with a value less than or equal
                        to zero.

        rcupdate.rcu_self_test= [KNL]
                        Run the RCU early boot self tests

        rdinit=         [KNL]
                        Format: <full_path>
                        Run specified binary instead of /init from the ramdisk,
                        used for early userspace startup. See initrd.

        rdrand=         [X86]
                        force - Override the decision by the kernel to hide the
                                advertisement of RDRAND support (this affects
                                certain AMD processors because of buggy BIOS
                                support, specifically around the suspend/resume
                                path).

        rdt=            [HW,X86,RDT]
                        Turn on/off individual RDT features. List is:
                        cmt, mbmtotal, mbmlocal, l3cat, l3cdp, l2cat, l2cdp,
                        mba.
                        E.g. to turn on cmt and turn off mba use:
                                rdt=cmt,!mba

        reboot=         [KNL]
                        Format (x86 or x86_64):
                                [w[arm] | c[old] | h[ard] | s[oft] | g[pio]] | d[efault] \

                                [[,]f[orce]
                        Where reboot_mode is one of warm (soft) or cold (hard) or gpio
                                        (prefix with 'panic_' to set mode for panic
                                        reboot only),
                              reboot_type is one of bios, acpi, kbd, triple, efi, or pci,
                              reboot_force is either force or not specified,
                              reboot_cpu is s[mp]#### with #### being the processor
                                        to be used for rebooting.

        refscale.holdoff= [KNL]
                        Set test-start holdoff period.  The purpose of
                        this parameter is to delay the start of the
                        test until boot completes in order to avoid
                        interference.

        refscale.loops= [KNL]
                        Set the number of loops over the synchronization
                        primitive under test.  Increasing this number
                        reduces noise due to loop start/end overhead,
                        but the default has already reduced the per-pass
                        noise to a handful of picoseconds on ca. 2020
                        x86 laptops.

        refscale.nreaders= [KNL]
                        Set number of readers.  The default value of -1
                        selects N, where N is roughly 75% of the number
                        of CPUs.  A value of zero is an interesting choice.

        refscale.nruns= [KNL]
                        Set number of runs, each of which is dumped onto
                        the console log.

        refscale.readdelay= [KNL]
                        Set the read-side critical-section duration,
                        measured in microseconds.

        refscale.scale_type= [KNL]
                        Specify the read-protection implementation to test.

        refscale.shutdown= [KNL]
                        Shut down the system at the end of the performance
                        test.  This defaults to 1 (shut it down) when
                        refscale is built into the kernel and to 0 (leave
                        it running) when refscale is built as a module.

        refscale.verbose= [KNL]
                        Enable additional printk() statements.

        refscale.verbose_batched= [KNL]
                        Batch the additional printk() statements.  If zero
                        (the default) or negative, print everything.  Otherwise,
                        print every Nth verbose statement, where N is the value

        s390_iommu=     [HW,S390]
                        Set s390 IOTLB flushing mode
                strict
                        With strict flushing every unmap operation will result in
                        an IOTLB flush. Default is lazy flushing before reuse,
                        which is faster.

        s390_iommu_aperture=    [KNL,S390]
                        Specifies the size of the per device DMA address space
                        accessible through the DMA and IOMMU APIs as a decimal
                        factor of the size of main memory.
                        The default is 1 meaning that one can concurrently use
                        as many DMA addresses as physical memory is installed,
                        if supported by hardware, and thus map all of memory
                        once. With a value of 2 one can map all of memory twice
                        and so on. As a special case a factor of 0 imposes no
                        restrictions other than those given by hardware at the
                        cost of significant additional memory use for tables.

        sched_verbose   [KNL] Enables verbose scheduler debug messages.

        schedstats=     [KNL,X86] Enable or disable scheduled statistics.
                        Allowed values are enable and disable. This feature
                        incurs a small amount of overhead in the scheduler
                        but is useful for debugging and performance tuning.

        sched_thermal_decay_shift=
                        [KNL, SMP] Set a decay shift for scheduler thermal
                        pressure signal. Thermal pressure signal follows the
                        default decay period of other scheduler pelt
                        signals(usually 32 ms but configurable). Setting
                        sched_thermal_decay_shift will left shift the decay
                        period for the thermal pressure signal by the shift
                        value.
                        i.e. with the default pelt decay period of 32 ms
                        sched_thermal_decay_shift   thermal pressure decay pr

                        and so on.
                        Format: integer between 0 and 10
                        Default is 0.

        scftorture.holdoff= [KNL]
                        Number of seconds to hold off before starting
                        test.  Defaults to zero for module insertion and
                        to 10 seconds for built-in smp_call_function()
                        tests.

        scftorture.longwait= [KNL]
                        Request ridiculously long waits randomly selected
                        up to the chosen limit in seconds.  Zero (the
                        default) disables this feature.  Please note
                        that requesting even small non-zero numbers of
                        seconds can result in RCU CPU stall warnings,
                        softlockup complaints, and so on.

        scftorture.nthreads= [KNL]
                        Number of kthreads to spawn to invoke the
                        smp_call_function() family of functions.
                        The default of -1 specifies a number of kthreads
                        equal to the number of CPUs.

        scftorture.onoff_holdoff= [KNL]
                        Number seconds to wait after the start of the
                        test before initiating CPU-hotplug operations.

        scftorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]
                        Number seconds to wait between successive
                        CPU-hotplug operations.  Specifying zero (which
                        is the default) disables CPU-hotplug operations.

        scftorture.shutdown_secs= [KNL]
                        The number of seconds following the start of the
                        test after which to shut down the system.  The
                        default of zero avoids shutting down the system.
                        Non-zero values are useful for automated tests.

        scftorture.stat_interval= [KNL]
                        The number of seconds between outputting the
                        current test statistics to the console.  A value
                        of zero disables statistics output.

        scftorture.stutter_cpus= [KNL]
                        The number of jiffies to wait between each change
                        to the set of CPUs under test.

        scftorture.use_cpus_read_lock= [KNL]
                        Use use_cpus_read_lock() instead of the default
                        preempt_disable() to disable CPU hotplug
                        while invoking one of the smp_call_function*()
                        functions.

        scftorture.verbose= [KNL]
                        Enable additional printk() statements.

        scftorture.weight_single= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_single() function with a zero
                        "wait" parameter.  A value of -1 selects the
                        default if all other weights are -1.  However,
                        if at least one weight has some other value, a
                        value of -1 will instead select a weight of zero.

        scftorture.weight_single_wait= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_single() function with a
                        non-zero "wait" parameter.  See weight_single.

        scftorture.weight_many= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_many() function with a zero
                        "wait" parameter.  See weight_single.
                        Note well that setting a high probability for
                        this weighting can place serious IPI load
                        on the system.

        scftorture.weight_many_wait= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_many() function with a
                        non-zero "wait" parameter.  See weight_single
                        and weight_many.

        scftorture.weight_all= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_all() function with a zero
                        "wait" parameter.  See weight_single and
                        weight_many.

        scftorture.weight_all_wait= [KNL]
                        The probability weighting to use for the
                        smp_call_function_all() function with a

                        and weight_many.

        skew_tick=      [KNL] Offset the periodic timer tick per cpu to mitigate
                        xtime_lock contention on larger systems, and/or RCU lock
                        contention on all systems with CONFIG_MAXSMP set.

                        Note: increases power consumption, thus should only be
                        enabled if running jitter sensitive (HPC/RT) workloads.

        security=       [SECURITY] Choose a legacy "major" security module to

        slab_merge      [MM]
                        Enable merging of slabs with similar size when the
                        kernel is built without CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT.

        slab_nomerge    [MM]
                        Disable merging of slabs with similar size. May be
                        necessary if there is some reason to distinguish
                        allocs to different slabs, especially in hardened
                        environments where the risk of heap overflows and
                        layout control by attackers can usually be
                        frustrated by disabling merging. This will reduce
                        most of the exposure of a heap attack to a single
                        cache (risks via metadata attacks are mostly
                        unchanged). Debug options disable merging on their
                        own.
                        For more information see Documentation/vm/slub.rst.

        slab_max_order= [MM, SLAB]
                        Determines the maximum allowed order for slabs.
                        A high setting may cause OOMs due to memory
                        fragmentation.  Defaults to 1 for systems with

        slub_debug[=options[,slabs][;[options[,slabs]]...]      [MM, SLUB]
                        Enabling slub_debug allows one to determine the
                        culprit if slab objects become corrupted. Enabling
                        slub_debug can create guard zones around objects and
                        may poison objects when not in use. Also tracks the
                        last alloc / free. For more information see

                        user space attacks.

                               vulnerable

                        Selecting 'on' will, and 'auto' may, choose a
                        mitigation method at run time according to the
                        CPU, the available microcode, the setting of the

                        compiler with which the kernel was built.

                        Selecting 'on' will also enable the mitigation
                        against user space to user space task attacks.

                        Selecting 'off' will disable both the kernel and
                        the user space protections.

                        Specific mitigations can also be selected manually:

        spec_store_bypass_disable=
                        [HW] Control Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) Disable mitigation
                        (Speculative Store Bypass vulnerability)

                        Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against a
                        a common industry wide performance optimization known
                        as "Speculative Store Bypass" in which recent stores
                        to the same memory location may not be observed by
                        later loads during speculative execution. The idea
                        is that such stores are unlikely and that they can
                        be detected prior to instruction retirement at the
                        end of a particular speculation execution window.

                        In vulnerable processors, the speculatively forwarded
                        store can be used in a cache side channel attack, for
                        example to read memory to which the attacker does not
                        directly have access (e.g. inside sandboxed code).

                        This parameter controls whether the Speculative Store
                        Bypass optimization is used.

                        On x86 the options are:

                        on      - Unconditionally disable Speculative Store Bypass
                        off     - Unconditionally enable Speculative Store Bypass
                        auto    - Kernel detects whether the CPU model contains an
                                  implementation of Speculative Store Bypass and
                                  picks the most appropriate mitigation. If the
                                  CPU is not vulnerable, "off" is selected. If the
                                  CPU is vulnerable the default mitigation is
                                  architecture and Kconfig dependent. See below.
                        prctl   - Control Speculative Store Bypass per thread
                                  via prctl. Speculative Store Bypass is enabled
                                  for a process by default. The state of the control
                                  is inherited on fork.
                        seccomp - Same as "prctl" above, but all seccomp threads
                                  will disable SSB unless they explicitly opt out.

                        Default mitigations:
                        X86:    "prctl"

                        On powerpc the options are:

                        on,auto - On Power8 and Power9 insert a store-forwarding
                                  barrier on kernel entry and exit. On Power7
                                  perform a software flush on kernel entry and
                                  exit.
                        off     - No action.

                        Not specifying this option is equivalent to
                        spec_store_bypass_disable=auto.

                        instructions that access data across cache line

                        for split lock detection or a debug exception for
                        bus lock detection.

                        off     - not enabled

                        warn    - the kernel will emit rate-limited warnings

                                  exception or the #DB exception. This mode is
                                  the default on CPUs that support split lock
                                  detection or bus lock detection. Default
                                  behavior is by #AC if both features are
                                  enabled in hardware.

                        fatal   - the kernel will send SIGBUS to applications
                                  that trigger the #AC exception or the #DB
                                  exception. Default behavior is by #AC if
                                  both features are enabled in hardware.

                        ratelimit:N -

                                  N/A for split lock detection.

                        firmware (i.e. not while executing in user mode)
                        the kernel will oops in either "warn" or "fatal"
                        mode.

                        #DB exception for bus lock is triggered only when
                        CPL > 0.

                        Control the Special Register Buffer Data Sampling
                        (SRBDS) mitigation.

                        Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an MDS-like
                        exploit which can leak bits from the random
                        number generator.

                        By default, this issue is mitigated by
                        microcode.  However, the microcode fix can cause
                        the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions to become
                        much slower.  Among other effects, this will
                        result in reduced throughput from /dev/urandom.

                        The microcode mitigation can be disabled with
                        the following option:

                        off:    Disable mitigation and remove

                        The greater the number of bits set in this kernel
                        parameter, the less frequently counter wrap will
                        be checked for.  Note that the bottom two bits
                        are ignored.

                        a given srcu_struct until the next normal SRCU
                        grace period will be considered for automatic

                        On CPUs that are vulnerable to the Speculative

                        firmware based mitigation, this parameter
                        indicates how the mitigation should be used:

                                   for both kernel and userspace
                        force-off: Unconditionally disable mitigation for
                                   for both kernel and userspace
                        kernel:    Always enable mitigation in the
                                   kernel, and offer a prctl interface
                                   to allow userspace to register its
                                   interest in being mitigated too.

        stack_guard_gap=        [MM]
                        override the default stack gap protection. The value
                        is in page units and it defines how many pages prior
                        to (for stacks growing down) resp. after (for stacks
                        growing up) the main stack are reserved for no other
                        mapping. Default value is 256 pages.

        stack_depot_disable= [KNL]
                        Setting this to true through kernel command line will
                        disable the stack depot thereby saving the static memory
                        consumed by the stack hash table. By default this is set
                        to false.

        stacktrace      [FTRACE]
                        Enabled the stack tracer on boot up.

        stacktrace_filter=[function-list]
                        [FTRACE] Limit the functions that the stack tracer
                        will trace at boot up. function-list is a comma-separated
                        list of functions. This list can be changed at run
                        time by the stack_trace_filter file in the debugfs
                        tracing directory. Note, this enables stack tracing
                        and the stacktrace above is not needed.

        sunrpc.max_resvport=
                        [NFS,SUNRPC]
                        SunRPC servers often require that client requests
                        originate from a privileged port (i.e. a port in the
                        range 0 < portnr < 1024).
                        An administrator who wishes to reserve some of these
                        ports for other uses may adjust the range that the
                        kernel's sunrpc client considers to be privileged
                        using these two parameters to set the minimum and
                        maximum port values.

        sunrpc.svc_rpc_per_connection_limit=

        sunrpc.pool_mode=
                        [NFS]
                        Control how the NFS server code allocates CPUs to
                        service thread pools.  Depending on how many NICs
                        you have and where their interrupts are bound, this
                        option will affect which CPUs will do NFS serving.
                        Note: this parameter cannot be changed while the
                        NFS server is running.

                        RPC calls that can be sent from the client to a
                        server. Increasing these values may allow you to
                        improve throughput, but will also increase the
                        amount of memory reserved for use by the client.

        sysctl.*=       [KNL]
                        Set a sysctl parameter, right before loading the init
                        process, as if the value was written to the respective
                        /proc/sys/... file. Both '.' and '/' are recognized as
                        separators. Unrecognized parameters and invalid values
                        are reported in the kernel log. Sysctls registered
                        later by a loaded module cannot be set this way.
                        Example: sysctl.vm.swappiness=40

                        topology information if the hardware supports this.
                        The scheduler will make use of this information and
                        e.g. base its process migration decisions on it.
                        Default is on.

        torture.ftrace_dump_at_shutdown= [KNL]
                        Dump the ftrace buffer at torture-test shutdown,
                        even if there were no errors.  This can be a
                        very costly operation when many torture tests
                        are running concurrently, especially on systems
                        with rotating-rust storage.

        torture.verbose_sleep_frequency= [KNL]
                        Specifies how many verbose printk()s should be
                        emitted between each sleep.  The default of zero
                        disables verbose-printk() sleeping.

        torture.verbose_sleep_duration= [KNL]

                        Specify that at suspend time, the tpm driver
                        should extend the specified pcr with zeros,
                        as a workaround for some chips which fail to
                        flush the last written pcr on TPM_SaveState.
                        This will guarantee that all the other pcrs
                        are saved.

        trace_buf_size=nn[KMG]
                        [FTRACE] will set tracing buffer size on each cpu.

        trace_event=[event-list]
                        [FTRACE] Set and start specified trace events in order
                        to facilitate early boot debugging. The event-list is a
                        comma-separated list of trace events to enable. See
                        also Documentation/trace/events.rst

        trace_options=[option-list]
                        [FTRACE] Enable or disable tracer options at boot.
                        The option-list is a comma delimited list of options
                        that can be enabled or disabled just as if you were
                        to echo the option name into

                            /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_options

                        For example, to enable stacktrace option (to dump the
                        stack trace of each event), add to the command line:

                              trace_options=stacktrace

                        See also Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst "trace options"
                        section.

        tp_printk[FTRACE]
                        Have the tracepoints sent to printk as well as the
                        tracing ring buffer. This is useful for early boot up
                        where the system hangs or reboots and does not give the
                        option for reading the tracing buffer or performing a
                        ftrace_dump_on_oops.

                        To turn off having tracepoints sent to printk,
                         echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk
                        Note, echoing 1 into this file without the
                        tracepoint_printk kernel cmdline option has no effect.

                        The tp_printk_stop_on_boot (see below) can also be used
                        to stop the printing of events to console at
                        late_initcall_sync.

                        ** CAUTION **

                        Having tracepoints sent to printk() and activating high
                        frequency tracepoints such as irq or sched, can cause
                        the system to live lock.

        tp_printk_stop_on_boot[FTRACE]
                        When tp_printk (above) is set, it can cause a lot of noise
                        on the console. It may be useful to only include the
                        printing of events during boot up, as user space may
                        make the system inoperable.

                        This command line option will stop the printing of events
                        to console at the late_initcall_sync() time frame.

        traceoff_on_warning
                        [FTRACE] enable this option to disable tracing when a
                        warning is hit. This turns off "tracing_on". Tracing can
                        be enabled again by echoing '1' into the "tracing_on"
                        file located in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/

                        This option is useful, as it disables the trace before
                        the WARNING dump is called, which prevents the trace to
                        be filled with content caused by the warning output.

                        This option can also be set at run time via the sysctl
                        option:  kernel/traceoff_on_warning

        trusted.source= [KEYS]
                        Format: <string>
                        This parameter identifies the trust source as a backend
                        for trusted keys implementation. Supported trust
                        sources:
                        - "tpm"
                        - "tee"
                        If not specified then it defaults to iterating through
                        the trust source list starting with TPM and assigns the
                        first trust source as a backend which is initialized
                        successfully during iteration.

                        [x86] reliable: mark tsc clocksource as reliable, this
                        disables clocksource verification at runtime, as well
                        as the stability checks done at bootup. Used to enable
                        high-resolution timer mode on older hardware, and in
                        virtualized environment.
                        [x86] noirqtime: Do not use TSC to do irq accounting.
                        Used to run time disable IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING on any
                        platforms where RDTSC is slow and this accounting
                        can add overhead.
                        [x86] unstable: mark the TSC clocksource as unstable, this
                        marks the TSC unconditionally unstable at bootup and
                        avoids any further wobbles once the TSC watchdog notices.
                        [x86] nowatchdog: disable clocksource watchdog. Used
                        in situations with strict latency requirements (where
                        interruptions from clocksource watchdog are not
                        acceptable).

        tsc_early_khz=  [X86] Skip early TSC calibration and use the given
                        value instead. Useful when the early TSC frequency discovery
                        procedure is not reliable, such as on overclocked systems
                        with CPUID.16h support and partial CPUID.15h support.

        tsx=            [X86] Control Transactional Synchronization
                        Extensions (TSX) feature in Intel processors that
                        support TSX control.

                        This parameter controls the TSX feature. The options are:

                        on      - Enable TSX on the system. Although there are
                                mitigations for all known security vulnerabilities,
                                TSX has been known to be an accelerator for
                                several previous speculation-related CVEs, and
                                so there may be unknown security risks associated
                                with leaving it enabled.

                        off     - Disable TSX on the system. (Note that this
                                option takes effect only on newer CPUs which are
                                not vulnerable to MDS, i.e., have
                                MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES.MDS_NO=1 and which get
                                the new IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR through a microcode
                                update. This new MSR allows for the reliable
                                deactivation of the TSX functionality.)

                        auto    - Disable TSX if X86_BUG_TAA is present,
                                  otherwise enable TSX on the system.

                        Not specifying this option is equivalent to tsx=off.

                        See Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/tsx_async_abort.rst
                        for more details.

        tsx_async_abort= [X86,INTEL] Control mitigation for the TSX Async
                        Abort (TAA) vulnerability.

                        Similar to Micro-architectural Data Sampling (MDS)
                        certain CPUs that support Transactional
                        Synchronization Extensions (TSX) are vulnerable to an
                        exploit against CPU internal buffers which can forward
                        information to a disclosure gadget under certain
                        conditions.

                        In vulnerable processors, the speculatively forwarded
                        data can be used in a cache side channel attack, to
                        access data to which the attacker does not have direct
                        access.

                        This parameter controls the TAA mitigation.  The
                        options are:

                        full       - Enable TAA mitigation on vulnerable CPUs
                                     if TSX is enabled.

                        full,nosmt - Enable TAA mitigation and disable SMT on
                                     vulnerable CPUs. If TSX is disabled, SMT
                                     is not disabled because CPU is not
                                     vulnerable to cross-thread TAA attacks.
                        off        - Unconditionally disable TAA mitigation

                        On MDS-affected machines, tsx_async_abort=off can be
                        prevented by an active MDS mitigation as both vulnerabilities
                        are mitigated with the same mechanism so in order to disable
                        this mitigation, you need to specify mds=off too.

                        Not specifying this option is equivalent to
                        tsx_async_abort=full.  On CPUs which are MDS affected
                        and deploy MDS mitigation, TAA mitigation is not
                        required and doesn't provide any additional
                        mitigation.

        vdso=           [X86,SH]
                        On X86_32, this is an alias for vdso32=.  Otherwise:

                        vdso=1: enable VDSO (the default)
                        vdso=0: disable VDSO mapping

                        vdso32=0 or vdso32=2: disable 32-bit VDSO

                        See the help text for CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO for more
                        details.  If CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is set, the default is
                        vdso32=0; otherwise, the default is vdso32=1.

                        For compatibility with older kernels, vdso32=2 is an
                        alias for vdso32=0.

                        Try vdso32=0 if you encounter an error that says:

        video.brightness_switch_enabled= [0,1]
                        If set to 1, on receiving an ACPI notify event
                        generated by hotkey, video driver will adjust brightness
                        level and then send out the event to user space through
                        the allocated input device; If set to 0, video driver
                        will only send out the event without touching backlight
                        brightness level.

                        Documentation/admin-guide/svga.rst.
                        Use vga=ask for menu.
                        This is actually a boot loader parameter; the value is
                        passed to the kernel using a special protocol.

        vm_debug[=options]      [KNL] Available with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y.
                        May slow down system boot speed, especially when
                        enabled on systems with a large amount of memory.
                        All options are enabled by default, and this
                        interface is meant to allow for selectively
                        enabling or disabling specific virtual memory
                        debugging features.

                        Available options are:
                          P     Enable page structure init time poisoning
                          -     Disable all of the above options

        vmalloc=nn[KMG] [KNL,BOOT] Forces the vmalloc area to have an exact
                        size of <nn>. This can be used to increase the
                        minimum size (128MB on x86). It can also be used to
                        decrease the size and leave more room for directly
                        mapped kernel RAM.

        vmcp_cma=nn[MG] [KNL,S390]
                        Sets the memory size reserved for contiguous memory
                        allocations for the vmcp device driver.

                        Format: <command>

        vmpanic=        [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after kernel panic.
                        Format: <command>

        vmpoff=         [KNL,S390] Perform z/VM CP command after power off.
                        Format: <command>

        vsyscall=       [X86-64]
                        Controls the behavior of vsyscalls (i.e. calls to
                        fixed addresses of 0xffffffffff600x00 from legacy
                        code).  Most statically-linked binaries and older
                        versions of glibc use these calls.  Because these
                        functions are at fixed addresses, they make nice
                        targets for exploits that can control RIP.

                        emulate     [default] Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
                                    emulated reasonably safely.  The vsyscall
                                    page is readable.

                        xonly       Vsyscalls turn into traps and are
                                    emulated reasonably safely.  The vsyscall
                                    page is not readable.

                        none        Vsyscalls don't work at all.  This makes
                                    them quite hard to use for exploits but
                                    might break your system.

        watchdog timers [HW,WDT] For information on watchdog timers,
                        see Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-parameters.rst
                        or other driver-specific files in the
                        Documentation/watchdog/ directory.

        watchdog_thresh=
                        [KNL]
                        Set the hard lockup detector stall duration
                        threshold in seconds. The soft lockup detector
                        threshold is set to twice the value. A value of 0
                        disables both lockup detectors. Default is 10
                        seconds.

        workqueue.watchdog_thresh=
                        If CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG is configured, workqueue can
                        warn stall conditions and dump internal state to
                        help debugging.  0 disables workqueue stall
                        detection; otherwise, it's the stall threshold
                        duration in seconds.  The default value is 30 and
                        it can be updated at runtime by writing to the
                        corresponding sysfs file.

        workqueue.disable_numa
                        By default, all work items queued to unbound
                        workqueues are affine to the NUMA nodes they're
                        issued on, which results in better behavior in
                        general.  If NUMA affinity needs to be disabled for
                        whatever reason, this option can be used.  Note
                        that this also can be controlled per-workqueue for
                        workqueues visible under /sys/bus/workqueue/.

        workqueue.power_efficient
                        Per-cpu workqueues are generally preferred because
                        they show better performance thanks to cache
                        locality; unfortunately, per-cpu workqueues tend to
                        be more power hungry than unbound workqueues.

                        Enabling this makes the per-cpu workqueues which
                        were observed to contribute significantly to power
                        consumption unbound, leading to measurably lower
                        power usage at the cost of small performance
                        overhead.

                        The default value of this parameter is determined by
                        the config option CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT_DEFAULT.

        workqueue.debug_force_rr_cpu
                        Workqueue used to implicitly guarantee that work
                        items queued without explicit CPU specified are put
                        on the local CPU.  This guarantee is no longer true
                        and while local CPU is still preferred work items
                        may be put on foreign CPUs.  This debug option
                        forces round-robin CPU selection to flush out
                        usages which depend on the now broken guarantee.
                        When enabled, memory and cache locality will be
                        impacted.

        x2apic_phys     [X86-64,APIC] Use x2apic physical mode instead of
                        default x2apic cluster mode on platforms
                        supporting x2apic.

        xen_512gb_limit         [KNL,X86-64,XEN]
                        Restricts the kernel running paravirtualized under Xen
                        to use only up to 512 GB of RAM. The reason to do so is
                        crash analysis tools and Xen tools for doing domain
                        save/restore/migration must be enabled to handle larger
                        domains.

        xen_emul_unplug=                [HW,X86,XEN]
                        Unplug Xen emulated devices
                        Format: [unplug0,][unplug1]
                        ide-disks -- unplug primary master IDE devices
                        aux-ide-disks -- unplug non-primary-master IDE devices
                        nics -- unplug network devices
                        all -- unplug all emulated devices (NICs and IDE disks)
                        unnecessary -- unplugging emulated devices is
                                unnecessary even if the host did not respond to
                                the unplug protocol
                        never -- do not unplug even if version check succeeds

        xen_legacy_crash        [X86,XEN]
                        Crash from Xen panic notifier, without executing late
                        panic() code such as dumping handler.

        xen_nopvspin    [X86,XEN]
                        Disables the qspinlock slowpath using Xen PV optimizations.
                        This parameter is obsoleted by "nopvspin" parameter, which
                        has equivalent effect for XEN platform.

        xen_nopv        [X86]
                        Disables the PV optimizations forcing the HVM guest to
                        run as generic HVM guest with no PV drivers.
                        This option is obsoleted by the "nopv" option, which
                        has equivalent effect for XEN platform.

        xen_no_vector_callback
                        [KNL,X86,XEN] Disable the vector callback for Xen
                        event channel interrupts.

        xen_scrub_pages=        [XEN]
                        Boolean option to control scrubbing pages before giving them back
                        to Xen, for use by other domains. Can be also changed at runtime
                        with /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/scrub_pages.
                        Default value controlled with CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES_DEFAULT.

        xen_timer_slop= [X86-64,XEN]
                        Set the timer slop (in nanoseconds) for the virtual Xen
                        timers (default is 100000). This adjusts the minimum
                        delta of virtualized Xen timers, where lower values
                        improve timer resolution at the expense of processing
                        more timer interrupts.

        xen.balloon_boot_timeout= [XEN]
                        The time (in seconds) to wait before giving up to boot
                        in case initial ballooning fails to free enough memory.
                        Applies only when running as HVM or PVH guest and
                        started with less memory configured than allowed at
                        max. Default is 180.

        xen.event_eoi_delay=    [XEN]
                        How long to delay EOI handling in case of event
                        storms (jiffies). Default is 10.

        xen.event_loop_timeout= [XEN]
                        After which time (jiffies) the event handling loop
                        should start to delay EOI handling. Default is 2.

        xen.fifo_events=        [XEN]
                        Boolean parameter to disable using fifo event handling
                        even if available. Normally fifo event handling is
                        preferred over the 2-level event handling, as it is
                        fairer and the number of possible event channels is
                        much higher. Default is on (use fifo events).

        nopv=           [X86,XEN,KVM,HYPER_V,VMWARE]
                        Disables the PV optimizations forcing the guest to run
                        as generic guest with no PV drivers. Currently support
                        XEN HVM, KVM, HYPER_V and VMWARE guest.

        nopvspin        [X86,XEN,KVM]
                        Disables the qspinlock slow path using PV optimizations
                        which allow the hypervisor to 'idle' the guest on lock
                        contention.

        xirc2ps_cs=     [NET,PCMCIA]
                        Format:
                        <irq>,<irq_mask>,<io>,<full_duplex>,<do_sound>,<lockup_hack>[,<irq2>[,<irq3>[,<irq4>]]]

        xive=           [PPC]
                        By default on POWER9 and above, the kernel will
                        natively use the XIVE interrupt controller. This option
                        allows the fallback firmware mode to be used:

                        off       Fallback to firmware control of XIVE interrupt
                                  controller on both pseries and powernv
                                  platforms. Only useful on POWER9 and above.

        xive.store-eoi=off      [PPC]
                        By default on POWER10 and above, the kernel will use
                        stores for EOI handling when the XIVE interrupt mode
                        is active. This option allows the XIVE driver to use
                        loads instead, as on POWER9.

        xhci-hcd.quirks         [USB,KNL]
                        A hex value specifying bitmask with supplemental xhci
                        host controller quirks. Meaning of each bit can be
                        consulted in header drivers/usb/host/xhci.h.

        xmon            [PPC]
                        Format: { early | on | rw | ro | off }
                        Controls if xmon debugger is enabled. Default is off.
                        Passing only "xmon" is equivalent to "xmon=early".
                        early   Call xmon as early as possible on boot; xmon
                                debugger is called from setup_arch().
                        on      xmon debugger hooks will be installed so xmon
                                is only called on a kernel crash. Default mode,
                                i.e. either "ro" or "rw" mode, is controlled
                                with CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE.
                        rw      xmon debugger hooks will be installed so xmon
                                is called only on a kernel crash, mode is write,
                                meaning SPR registers, memory and, other data
                                can be written using xmon commands.
                        ro      same as "rw" option above but SPR registers,
                                memory, and other data can't be written using
                                xmon commands.
                        off     xmon is disabled.
