This is a bitfield where: ++ 0 - silently ignore alignment errors (will lead to unexpected results) ++ 1 - report alignment errors through printk (will lead to unexpected results, but you'll know about them) ++ 2 - fix the alignment and make things work properly (performance degradation for un-aligned code) ++ 4 - raise SIGBUS on alignment traps ++ A good number to choose is probably either 3 (work slowly but log message) or 5 (log message and SIGBUS). ++ You can change the behavior at runtime through /proc/cpu/alignment if you have PROC_FS enabled. ++ + endmenu + + menu "Boot options" |
