	accept_memory=  [MM]
			Format: { eager | lazy }
			default: lazy
			By default, unaccepted memory is accepted lazily to
			avoid prolonged boot times. The lazy option will add
			some runtime overhead until all memory is eventually
			accepted. In most cases the overhead is negligible.
			For some workloads or for debugging purposes
			accept_memory=eager can be used to accept all memory
			at once during boot.

	acpi=		[HW,ACPI,X86,ARM64,RISCV64,EARLY]
			Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
			Format: { force | on | off | strict | noirq | rsdt |
				  copy_dsdt | nospcr }
			force -- enable ACPI if default was off
			on -- enable ACPI but allow fallback to DT [arm64,riscv64]
			off -- disable ACPI if default was on
			noirq -- do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
			strict -- Be less tolerant of platforms that are not
				strictly ACPI specification compliant.
			rsdt -- prefer RSDT over (default) XSDT
			copy_dsdt -- copy DSDT to memory
			nospcr -- disable console in ACPI SPCR table as
				default _serial_ console on ARM64
			For ARM64, ONLY "acpi=off", "acpi=on", "acpi=force" or
			"acpi=nospcr" are available
			For RISCV64, ONLY "acpi=off", "acpi=on" or "acpi=force"
			are available

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

	acpi_apic_instance=	[ACPI,IOAPIC,EARLY]
			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 [ACPI,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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.

	acpi_sci=	[HW,ACPI,EARLY] ACPI System Control Interrupt trigger mode
			Format: { level | edge | high | low }

	acpi_skip_timer_override [HW,ACPI,EARLY]
			Recognize and ignore IRQ0/pin2 Interrupt Override.
			For broken nForce2 BIOS resulting in XT-PIC timer.

	acpi_sleep=	[HW,ACPI] Sleep options
			Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_hwsig,
				  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).

	acpi_use_timer_override [HW,ACPI,EARLY]
			Use timer override. For some broken Nvidia NF5 boards
			that require a timer override, but don't have HPET

	add_efi_memmap	[EFI,X86,EARLY] Include EFI memory map in
			kernel's map of available physical RAM.

	agp=		[AGP]
			{ off | try_unsupported }
			off: disable AGP support
			try_unsupported: try to drive unsupported chipsets
				(may crash computer or cause data corruption)

	ALSA		[HW,ALSA]
			See Documentation/sound/alsa-configuration.rst

	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.

			32: only for 32-bit processes
			64: only for 64-bit processes
			on: enable for both 32- and 64-bit processes
			off: disable for both 32- and 64-bit processes

	alloc_snapshot	[FTRACE]
			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,EARLY]
			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.

			See Documentation/arch/arm64/asymmetric-32bit.rst for more
			information.

	amd_iommu=	[HW,X86-64]
			Pass parameters to the AMD IOMMU driver in the system.
			Possible values are:
			fullflush - Deprecated, equivalent to iommu.strict=1
			off	  - do not initialize any AMD IOMMU found in
				    the system
			force_isolation - Force device isolation for all
					  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.
			pgtbl_v1        - Use v1 page table for DMA-API (Default).
			pgtbl_v2        - Use v2 page table for DMA-API.
			irtcachedis     - Disable Interrupt Remapping Table (IRT) caching.
			nohugepages     - Limit page-sizes used for v1 page-tables
				          to 4 KiB.
			v2_pgsizes_only - Limit page-sizes used for v1 page-tables
				          to 4KiB/2Mib/1GiB.


	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.
			             (Default when IOMMU HW support is present.)

	amd_pstate=	[X86,EARLY]
			disable
			  Do not enable amd_pstate as the default
			  scaling driver for the supported processors
			passive
			  Use amd_pstate with passive mode as a scaling driver.
			  In this mode autonomous selection is disabled.
			  Driver requests a desired performance level and platform
			  tries to match the same performance level if it is
			  satisfied by guaranteed performance level.
			active
			  Use amd_pstate_epp driver instance as the scaling driver,
			  driver provides a hint to the hardware if software wants
			  to bias toward performance (0x0) or energy efficiency (0xff)
			  to the CPPC firmware. then CPPC power algorithm will
			  calculate the runtime workload and adjust the realtime cores
			  frequency.
			guided
			  Activate guided autonomous mode. Driver requests minimum and
			  maximum performance level and the platform autonomously
			  selects a performance level in this range and appropriate
			  to the current workload.

	amd_prefcore=
			[X86]
			disable
			  Disable amd-pstate preferred core.

	amijoy.map=	[HW,JOY] Amiga joystick support

	analog.map=	[HW,JOY] Analog joystick and gamepad support
			Specifies type or capabilities of an analog joystick
			connected to one of 16 gameports
			Format: <type1>,<type2>,..<type16>

	apc=		[HW,SPARC]
			Power management functions (SPARCstation-4/5 + deriv.)
			Format: noidle
			Disable APC CPU standby support. SPARCstation-Fox does
			not play well with APC CPU idle - disable it if you have
			APC and your system crashes randomly.

	apic=		[APIC,X86,EARLY] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
			Change the output verbosity while booting
			Format: { quiet (default) | verbose | debug }
			Change the amount of debugging information output
			when initialising the APIC and IO-APIC components.
			For X86-32, this can also be used to specify an APIC
			driver name.
			Format: apic=driver_name
			Examples: apic=bigsmp

	apic_extnmi=	[APIC,X86,EARLY] External NMI delivery setting
			Format: { bsp (default) | all | none }
			bsp:  External NMI is delivered only to CPU 0
			all:  External NMIs are broadcast to all CPUs as a
			      backup of CPU 0
			none: External NMI is masked for all CPUs. This is
			      useful so that a dump capture kernel won't be
			      shot down by NMI

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

	apm=		[APM] Advanced Power Management
			See header of arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c.

			Use software keyboard repeat

	audit=		[KNL] Enable the audit sub-system
			Format: { "0" | "1" | "off" | "on" }
			0 | off - kernel audit is disabled and can not be
			    enabled until the next reboot
			unset - kernel audit is initialized but disabled and
			    will be fully enabled by the userspace auditd.
			1 | on - kernel audit is initialized and partially
			    enabled, storing at most audit_backlog_limit

			Default: unset

	audit_backlog_limit= [KNL] Set the audit queue size limit.
			Format: <int> (must be >=0)
			Default: 64

	bau=		[X86_UV] Enable the BAU on SGI UV.  The default
			behavior is to disable the BAU (i.e. bau=0).
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			0 - Disable the BAU.
			1 - Enable the BAU.
			unset - Disable the BAU.

	baycom_epp=	[HW,AX25]
			Format: <io>,<mode>

	baycom_par=	[HW,AX25] BayCom Parallel Port AX.25 Modem

			BayCom Serial Port AX.25 Modem (Half Duplex Mode)
			Format: <io>,<irq>,<mode>
			See header of drivers/net/hamradio/baycom_ser_hdx.c.

	bdev_allow_write_mounted=
			Format: <bool>
			Control the ability to open a mounted block device
			for writing, i.e., allow / disallow writes that bypass
			the FS. This was implemented as a means to prevent
			fuzzers from crashing the kernel by overwriting the
			metadata underneath a mounted FS without its awareness.
			This also prevents destructive formatting of mounted
			filesystems by naive storage tooling that don't use
			O_EXCL. Default is Y and can be changed through the
			Kconfig option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED.

	bert_disable	[ACPI]
			Disable BERT OS support on buggy BIOSes.

	bgrt_disable	[ACPI,X86,EARLY]
			Disable BGRT to avoid flickering OEM logo.

	blkdevparts=	Manual partition parsing of block device(s) for
			embedded devices based on command line input.
			See Documentation/block/cmdline-partition.rst

	boot_delay=	[KNL,EARLY]
			Milliseconds to delay each printk during boot.
			Only works if CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY is enabled,
			and you may also have to specify "lpj=".  Boot_delay
			values larger than 10 seconds (10000) are assumed
			erroneous and ignored.
			Format: integer

	bootconfig	[KNL,EARLY]
			Extended command line options can be added to an initrd
			and this will cause the kernel to look for it.

			See Documentation/admin-guide/bootconfig.rst

	bttv.card=	[HW,V4L] bttv (bt848 + bt878 based grabber cards)
	bttv.radio=	Most important insmod options are available as
			kernel args too.
	bttv.pll=	See Documentation/admin-guide/media/bttv.rst
	bttv.tuner=

	bulk_remove=off	[PPC]  This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
			firmware feature for flushing multiple hpte entries
			at a time.

	c101=		[NET] Moxa C101 synchronous serial card

	cachesize=	[BUGS=X86-32] Override level 2 CPU cache size detection.
			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.

	carrier_timeout=
			[NET] Specifies amount of time (in seconds) that
			the kernel should wait for a network carrier. By default
			it waits 120 seconds.

	ca_keys=	[KEYS] This parameter identifies a specific key(s) on
			the system trusted keyring to be used for certificate
			trust validation.
			format: { id:<keyid> | builtin }

	cca=		[MIPS,EARLY] Override the kernel pages' cache coherency
			algorithm.  Accepted values range from 0 to 7
			inclusive. See arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h
			for platform specific values (SB1, Loongson3 and
			others).

	ccw_timeout_log	[S390]
			See Documentation/arch/s390/common_io.rst for details.

	cgroup_disable=	[KNL] Disable a particular controller or optional feature
			Format: {name of the controller(s) or feature(s) to disable}
			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
			only cgroup_disable=memory is actually worthy}
			Specifying "pressure" disables per-cgroup pressure
			stall information accounting feature

	cgroup_no_v1=	[KNL] Disable cgroup controllers and named hierarchies in v1
			Format: { { controller | "all" | "named" }
			          [,{ controller | "all" | "named" }...] }
			Like cgroup_disable, but only applies to cgroup v1;
			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.

	cgroup_favordynmods= [KNL] Enable or Disable favordynmods.
			Format: { "true" | "false" }
			Defaults to the value of CONFIG_CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS.

	cgroup.memory=	[KNL] Pass options to the cgroup memory controller.
			Format: <string>
			nosocket -- Disable socket memory accounting.
			nokmem -- Disable kernel memory accounting.
			nobpf -- Disable BPF memory accounting.

	checkreqprot=	[SELINUX] Set initial checkreqprot flag value.
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			See security/selinux/Kconfig help text.
			0 -- check protection applied by kernel (includes
				any implied execute protection).
			1 -- check protection requested by application.
			Default value is set via a kernel config option.
			Value can be changed at runtime via
				/sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot.
			Setting checkreqprot to 1 is deprecated.

	cio_ignore=	[S390]
			See Documentation/arch/s390/common_io.rst for details.

	clearcpuid=X[,X...] [X86]
			Disable CPUID feature X for the kernel. See
			arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h for the valid bit
			numbers X. Note the Linux-specific bits are not necessarily
			stable over kernel options, but the vendor-specific
			ones should be.
			X can also be a string as appearing in the flags: line
			in /proc/cpuinfo which does not have the above
			instability issue. However, not all features have names
			in /proc/cpuinfo.
			Note that using this option will taint your kernel.
			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.

	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
			information, see Documentation/driver-api/clk.rst.

	clock=		[BUGS=X86-32, HW] gettimeofday clocksource override.
			[Deprecated]
			Forces specified clocksource (if available) to be used
			when calculating gettimeofday(). If specified
			clocksource is not available, it defaults to PIT.
			Format: { pit | tsc | cyclone | pmtmr }

	clocksource=	Override the default clocksource
			Format: <string>
			Override the default clocksource and use the clocksource
			with the name specified.
			Some clocksource names to choose from, depending on
			the platform:
			[all] jiffies (this is the base, fallback clocksource)
			[ACPI] acpi_pm
			[ARM] imx_timer1,OSTS,netx_timer,mpu_timer2,
				pxa_timer,timer3,32k_counter,timer0_1
			[X86-32] pit,hpet,tsc;
				scx200_hrt on Geode; cyclone on IBM x440
			[MIPS] MIPS
			[PARISC] cr16
			[S390] tod
			[SH] SuperH
			[SPARC64] tick
			[X86-64] hpet,tsc

	clocksource.arm_arch_timer.evtstrm=
			[ARM,ARM64,EARLY]
			Format: <bool>
			Enable/disable the eventstream feature of the ARM
			architected timer so that code using WFE-based polling
			loops can be debugged more effectively on production
			systems.

	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.

	cma=nn[MG]@[start[MG][-end[MG]]]
			[KNL,CMA,EARLY]
			Sets the size of kernel global memory area for
			contiguous memory allocations and optionally the
			placement constraint by the physical address range of
			memory allocations. A value of 0 disables CMA
			altogether. For more information, see
			kernel/dma/contiguous.c

	cma_pernuma=nn[MG]
			[KNL,CMA,EARLY]
			Sets the size of kernel per-numa memory area for
			contiguous memory allocations. A value of 0 disables
			per-numa CMA altogether. And If this option is not
			specified, 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.

	numa_cma=<node>:nn[MG][,<node>:nn[MG]]
			[KNL,CMA,EARLY]
			Sets the size of kernel numa memory area for
			contiguous memory allocations. It will reserve CMA
			area for the specified node.

			With numa CMA enabled, DMA users on node nid will
			first try to allocate buffer from the numa area
			which is located in node nid, if the allocation fails,
			they will fallback to the global default memory area.

	cmo_free_hint=	[PPC] Format: { yes | no }
			Specify whether pages are marked as being inactive
			when they are freed.  This is used in CMO environments
			to determine OS memory pressure for page stealing by
			a hypervisor.
			Default: yes

	coherent_pool=nn[KMG]	[ARM,KNL,EARLY]
			Sets the size of memory pool for coherent, atomic dma
			allocations, by default set to 256K.

	com20020=	[HW,NET] ARCnet - COM20020 chipset
			Format:
			<io>[,<irq>[,<nodeID>[,<backplane>[,<ckp>[,<timeout>]]]]]

	com90io=	[HW,NET] ARCnet - COM90xx chipset (IO-mapped buffers)
			Format: <io>[,<irq>]

	com90xx=	[HW,NET]
			ARCnet - COM90xx chipset (memory-mapped buffers)
			Format: <io>[,<irq>[,<memstart>]]

	condev=		[HW,S390] console device
	conmode=

	con3215_drop=	[S390,EARLY] 3215 console drop mode.
			Format: y|n|Y|N|1|0
			When set to true, drop data on the 3215 console when
			the console buffer is full. In this case the
			operator using a 3270 terminal emulator (for example
			x3270) does not have to enter the clear key for the
			console output to advance and the kernel to continue.
			This leads to a much faster boot time when a 3270
			terminal emulator is active. If no 3270 terminal
			emulator is used, this parameter has no effect.

	console=	[KNL] Output console device and options.

		tty<n>	Use the virtual console device <n>.

		ttyS<n>[,options]
		ttyUSB0[,options]
			Use the specified serial port.  The options are of
			the form "bbbbpnf", where "bbbb" is the baud rate,
			"p" is parity ("n", "o", or "e"), "n" is number of
			bits, and "f" is flow control ("r" for RTS or
			omit it).  Default is "9600n8".

			See Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst for more
			information.  See
			Documentation/networking/netconsole.rst for an
			alternative.

		<DEVNAME>:<n>.<n>[,options]
			Use the specified serial port on the serial core bus.
			The addressing uses DEVNAME of the physical serial port
			device, followed by the serial core controller instance,
			and the serial port instance. The options are the same
			as documented for the ttyS addressing above.

			The mapping of the serial ports to the tty instances
			can be viewed with:

			$ ls -d /sys/bus/serial-base/devices/*:*.*/tty/*
			/sys/bus/serial-base/devices/00:04:0.0/tty/ttyS0

			In the above example, the console can be addressed with
			console=00:04:0.0. Note that a console addressed this
			way will only get added when the related device driver
			is ready. The use of an earlycon parameter in addition to
			the console may be desired for console output early on.

		uart[8250],io,<addr>[,options]
		uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options]
		uart[8250],mmio16,<addr>[,options]
		uart[8250],mmio32,<addr>[,options]
		uart[8250],0x<addr>[,options]
			Start an early, polled-mode console on the 8250/16550
			UART at the specified I/O port or MMIO address,
			switching to the matching ttyS device later.
			MMIO inter-register address stride is either 8-bit
			(mmio), 16-bit (mmio16), or 32-bit (mmio32).
			If none of [io|mmio|mmio16|mmio32], <addr> is assumed
			to be equivalent to 'mmio'. 'options' are specified in
			the same format described for ttyS above; if unspecified,
			the h/w is not re-initialized.

		hvc<n>	Use the hypervisor console device <n>. This is for
			both Xen and PowerPC hypervisors.

		{ null | "" }
			Use to disable console output, i.e., to have kernel
			console messages discarded.
			This must be the only console= parameter used on the
			kernel command line.

		If the device connected to the port is not a TTY but a braille
		device, prepend "brl," before the device type, for instance
			console=brl,ttyS0
		For now, only VisioBraille is supported.

	console_msg_format=
			[KNL] Change console messages format
		default
			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
			`printk_time' param).
		syslog
			Switch to syslog format: "<%u>[time stamp] text\n"
			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.

	consoleblank=	[KNL] The console blank (screen saver) timeout in
			seconds. A value of 0 disables the blank timer.
			Defaults to 0.

	coredump_filter=
			[KNL] Change the default value for
			/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter.
			See also Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst.

	coresight_cpu_debug.enable
			[ARM,ARM64]
			Format: <bool>
			Enable/disable the CPU sampling based debugging.
			0: default value, disable debugging
			1: enable debugging at boot time

	cpcihp_generic=	[HW,PCI] Generic port I/O CompactPCI driver
			Format:
			<first_slot>,<last_slot>,<port>,<enum_bit>[,<debug>]

	cpuidle.off=1	[CPU_IDLE]
			disable the cpuidle sub-system

	cpuidle.governor=
			[CPU_IDLE] Name of the cpuidle governor to use.

	cpufreq.off=1	[CPU_FREQ]
			disable the cpufreq sub-system

	cpufreq.default_governor=
			[CPU_FREQ] Name of the default cpufreq governor or
			policy to use. This governor must be registered in the
			kernel before the cpufreq driver probes.

	cpu_init_udelay=N
			[X86,EARLY] Delay for N microsec between assert and de-assert
			of APIC INIT to start processors.  This delay occurs
			on every CPU online, such as boot, and resume from suspend.
			Default: 10000

	cpuhp.parallel=
			[SMP] Enable/disable parallel bringup of secondary CPUs
			Format: <bool>
			Default is enabled if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PARALLEL=y. Otherwise
			the parameter has no effect.

	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.

	crashkernel=size[KMG][@offset[KMG]]
			[KNL,EARLY] 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, ARM64, RISCV, LoongArch] 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, ARM64, RISCV, LoongArch] 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, ARM64, RISCV, LoongArch] 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
			default	size of memory below 4G automatically. The default
			size is	platform dependent.
			  --> x86: max(swiotlb_size_or_default() + 8MiB, 256MiB)
			  --> arm64: 128MiB
			  --> riscv: 128MiB
			  --> loongarch: 128MiB
			This one lets the user 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.

	cryptomgr.notests
			[KNL] Disable crypto self-tests

	cs89x0_dma=	[HW,NET]
			Format: <dma>

	cs89x0_media=	[HW,NET]
			Format: { rj45 | aui | bnc }

	csdlock_debug=	[KNL] Enable or disable debug add-ons of cross-CPU
			function call handling. When switched on,
			additional debug data is printed to the console
			in case a hanging CPU is detected, and that
			CPU is pinged again in order to try to resolve
			the hang situation.  The default value of this
			option depends on the CSD_LOCK_WAIT_DEBUG_DEFAULT
			Kconfig option.

	dasd=		[HW,NET]
			See header of drivers/s390/block/dasd_devmap.c.

	db9.dev[2|3]=	[HW,JOY] Multisystem joystick support via parallel port
			(one device per port)
			Format: <port#>,<type>
			See also Documentation/input/devices/joystick-parport.rst

	debug		[KNL,EARLY] Enable kernel debugging (events log level).

	debug_boot_weak_hash
			[KNL,EARLY] Enable printing [hashed] pointers early in the
			boot sequence.  If enabled, we use a weak hash instead
			of siphash to hash pointers.  Use this option if you are
			seeing instances of '(___ptrval___)') and need to see a
			value (hashed pointer) instead. Cryptographically
			insecure, please do not use on production kernels.

	debug_locks_verbose=
			[KNL] verbose locking self-tests
			Format: <int>
			Print debugging info while doing the locking API
			self-tests.
			Bitmask for the various LOCKTYPE_ tests. Defaults to 0
			(no extra messages), setting it to -1 (all bits set)
			will print _a_lot_ more information - normally only
			useful to lockdep developers.

	debug_objects	[KNL,EARLY] Enable object debugging

	debug_guardpage_minorder=
			[KNL,EARLY] 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_PAGE_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 programming 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,EARLY] 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,EARLY] This parameter enables what is exposed to
			userspace and debugfs internal clients.
			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.

	debugpat	[X86] Enable PAT debugging

	default_hugepagesz=
			[HW] The size of the default HugeTLB page. This is
			the size represented by the legacy /proc/ hugepages
			APIs.  In addition, this is the default hugetlb size
			used for shmget(), mmap() and mounting hugetlbfs
			filesystems.  If not specified, defaults to the
			architecture's default huge page size.  Huge page
			sizes are architecture dependent.  See also
			Documentation/admin-guide/mm/hugetlbpage.rst.
			Format: size[KMG]

	deferred_probe_timeout=
			[KNL] Debugging option to set a timeout in seconds for
			deferred probe to give up waiting on dependencies to
			probe. Only specific dependencies (subsystems or
			drivers) that have opted in will be ignored. A timeout
			of 0 will timeout at the end of initcalls. If the time
			out hasn't expired, it'll be restarted by each
			successful driver registration. This option will also
			dump out devices still on the deferred probe list after
			retrying.

	delayacct	[KNL] Enable per-task delay accounting

	dell_smm_hwmon.ignore_dmi=
			[HW] Continue probing hardware even if DMI data
			indicates that the driver is running on unsupported
			hardware.

	dell_smm_hwmon.force=
			[HW] Activate driver even if SMM BIOS signature does
			not match list of supported models and enable otherwise
			blacklisted features.

	dell_smm_hwmon.power_status=
			[HW] Report power status in /proc/i8k
			(disabled by default).

	dell_smm_hwmon.restricted=
			[HW] Allow controlling fans only if SYS_ADMIN
			capability is set.

	dell_smm_hwmon.fan_mult=
			[HW] Factor to multiply fan speed with.

	dell_smm_hwmon.fan_max=
			[HW] Maximum configurable fan speed.

	dfltcc=		[HW,S390]
			Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
			on:       s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
			          level 1 and decompression (default)
			off:      No s390 zlib hardware support
			def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
			          only (compression on level 1)
			inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
			          only (decompression)
			always:   Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
			          level always using hardware support (used for debugging)

	dhash_entries=	[KNL]
			Set number of hash buckets for dentry cache.

	disable_1tb_segments [PPC,EARLY]
			Disables the use of 1TB hash page table segments. This
			causes the kernel to fall back to 256MB segments which
			can be useful when debugging issues that require an SLB
			miss to occur.

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

	disable_radix	[PPC,EARLY]
			Disable RADIX MMU mode on POWER9

	disable_tlbie	[PPC]
			Disable TLBIE instruction. Currently does not work
			with KVM, with HASH MMU, or with coherent accelerators.

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

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

	disable_mtrr_cleanup [X86,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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.

	reg_file_data_sampling=
			[X86] Controls mitigation for Register File Data
			Sampling (RFDS) vulnerability. RFDS is a CPU
			vulnerability which may allow userspace to infer
			kernel data values previously stored in floating point
			registers, vector registers, or integer registers.
			RFDS only affects Intel Atom processors.

			on:	Turns ON the mitigation.
			off:	Turns OFF the mitigation.

			This parameter overrides the compile time default set
			by CONFIG_MITIGATION_RFDS. Mitigation cannot be
			disabled when other VERW based mitigations (like MDS)
			are enabled. In order to disable RFDS mitigation all
			VERW based mitigations need to be disabled.

			For details see:
			Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/reg-file-data-sampling.rst

	driver_async_probe=  [KNL]
			List of driver names to be probed asynchronously. *
			matches with all driver names. If * is specified, the
			rest of the listed driver names are those that will NOT
			match the *.
			Format: <driver_name1>,<driver_name2>...

	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.
			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.

	dscc4.setup=	[NET]

	dt_cpu_ftrs=	[PPC,EARLY]
			Format: {"off" | "known"}
			Control how the dt_cpu_ftrs device-tree binding is
			used for CPU feature discovery and setup (if it
			exists).
			off: Do not use it, fall back to legacy cpu table.
			known: Do not pass through unknown features to guests
			or userspace, only those that the kernel is aware of.

	dump_apple_properties	[X86]
			Dump name and content of EFI device properties on
			x86 Macs.  Useful for driver authors to determine
			what data is available or for reverse-engineering.

	dyndbg[="val"]		[KNL,DYNAMIC_DEBUG]
	<module>.dyndbg[="val"]
			Enable debug messages at boot time.  See
			Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst
			for details.

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

	earlycon=	[KNL,EARLY] 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.

		uart[8250],io,<addr>[,options[,uartclk]]
		uart[8250],mmio,<addr>[,options[,uartclk]]
		uart[8250],mmio32,<addr>[,options[,uartclk]]
		uart[8250],mmio32be,<addr>[,options[,uartclk]]
		uart[8250],0x<addr>[,options]
			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. 'uartclk' is
			the uart clock frequency; if unspecified, it is set
			to 'BASE_BAUD' * 16.

		pl011,<addr>
		pl011,mmio32,<addr>
			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.

		liteuart,<addr>
			Start an early console on a litex serial port at the
			specified address. The serial port must already be
			setup and configured. Options are not yet supported.

		meson,<addr>
			Start an early, polled-mode console on a meson serial
			port at the specified address. The serial port must
			already be setup and configured. Options are not yet
			supported.

		msm_serial,<addr>

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

		rda,<addr>

	earlyprintk=	[X86,SH,ARM,M68k,S390,UM,EARLY]
			earlyprintk=vga
			earlyprintk=sclp
			earlyprintk=xen
			earlyprintk=serial[,ttySn[,baudrate]]

			earlyprintk=dbgp[debugController#]
			earlyprintk=pciserial[,force],bus:device.function[,baudrate]
			earlyprintk=xdbc[xhciController#]
			earlyprintk=bios

			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, 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 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 bios output can only be used on SuperH.

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

	edac_report=	[HW,EDAC] Control how to report EDAC event
			Format: {"on" | "off" | "force"}
			on: enable EDAC to report H/W event. May be overridden

			firmware implementations.
			noruntime : disable EFI runtime services support
			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,EARLY]

	ekgdboc=	[X86,KGDB,EARLY] Allow early kernel console debugging
			Format: ekgdboc=kbd

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

			Permit 'security.evm' to be updated regardless of
			current integrity status.

	early_page_ext [KNL,EARLY] Enforces page_ext initialization to earlier
			stages so cover more early boot allocations.
			Please note that as side effect some optimizations
			might be disabled to achieve that (e.g. parallelized

	ftrace=[tracer]
			[FTRACE] will set and start the specified tracer
			as early as possible in order to facilitate early
			boot debugging.

	ftrace_boot_snapshot
			[FTRACE] On boot up, a snapshot will be taken of the
			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.

			Optionally, the snapshot can also be defined for a tracing
			instance that was created by the trace_instance= command
			line parameter.

			trace_instance=foo,sched_switch ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo

			The above will cause the "foo" tracing instance to trigger
			a snapshot at the end of boot up.

	ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2(orig_cpu) | =<instance>][,<instance> |
			  ,<instance>=2(orig_cpu)]
			[FTRACE] will dump the trace buffers on oops.
			If no parameter is passed, ftrace will dump global
			buffers of all CPUs, if you pass 2 or orig_cpu, it
			will dump only the buffer of the CPU that triggered
			the oops, or the specific instance will be dumped if
			its name is passed. Multiple instance dump is also
			supported, and instances are separated by commas. Each
			instance supports only dump on CPU that triggered the
			oops by passing 2 or orig_cpu to it.

			[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

			in the tracefs tracing directory. default: 0 (no limit)

	fw_devlink=	[KNL,EARLY] 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).
			Format: { off | permissive | on | rpm }
			off --	Don't create device links from firmware info.

			Format: { strict | timeout }
			strict -- Default. Continue waiting on consumers to
				probe successfully.
			timeout -- Give up waiting on consumers and call

			Format: <string>
			This allows setting the system's hostname during early
			startup. This sets the name returned by gethostname.
			Using this parameter to set the hostname makes it
			possible to ensure the hostname is correctly set before
			any userspace processes run, avoiding the possibility
			that a process may call gethostname before the hostname
			has been explicitly set, resulting in the calling
			process getting an incorrect result. The string must
			not exceed the maximum allowed hostname length (usually
			64 characters) and will be truncated otherwise.

	hpet=		[X86-32,HPET] option to control HPET usage
			Format: { enable (default) | disable | force |
				verbose }
			disable: disable HPET and use PIT instead

			registers.  Default set by CONFIG_HPET_MMAP_DEFAULT.

	hugepages=	[HW] Number of HugeTLB pages to allocate at boot.
			If this follows hugepagesz (below), it specifies
			the number of pages of hugepagesz to be allocated.

			architecture dependent.  See also
			Documentation/admin-guide/mm/hugetlbpage.rst.
			Format: size[KMG]

			Reserve a CMA area of given size and allocate gigantic
			hugepages using the CMA allocator. If enabled, the
			boot-time allocation of gigantic hugepages is skipped.

	hugetlb_free_vmemmap=
			[KNL] Requires CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP
			enabled.
			Control if HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization (HVO) is enabled.
			Allows heavy hugetlb users to free up some more
			memory (7 * PAGE_SIZE for each 2MB hugetlb page).
			Format: { on | off (default) }

			on: enable HVO
			off: disable HVO

			Built with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP_DEFAULT_ON=y,
			the default is on.

			Note that the vmemmap pages may be allocated from the added
			memory block itself when memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory is
			enabled, those vmemmap pages cannot be optimized even if this
			feature is enabled.  Other vmemmap pages not allocated from
			the added memory block itself do not be affected.

	hung_task_panic=
			[KNL] Should the hung task detector generate panics.
			Format: 0 | 1

			A value of 1 instructs the kernel to panic when a
			hung task is detected. The default value is controlled
			by the CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC build-time
			option. The value selected by this boot parameter can
			be changed later by the kernel.hung_task_panic sysctl.

	hvc_iucv=	[S390]	Number of z/VM IUCV hypervisor console (HVC)

	i915.invert_brightness=
			[DRM] Invert the sense of the variable that is used to
			set the brightness of the panel backlight. Normally a
			brightness value of 0 indicates backlight switched off,
			and the maximum of the brightness value sets the backlight

			Not recommended.
			idle=halt: Halt is forced to be used for CPU idle.
			In such case C2/C3 won't be used again.
			idle=nomwait: Disable mwait for CPU C-states

	idxd.sva=	[HW]
			Format: <bool>
			Allow force disabling of Shared Virtual Memory (SVA)
			support for the idxd driver. By default it is set to
			true (1).

	idxd.tc_override= [HW]
			Format: <bool>
			Allow override of default traffic class configuration
			for the device. By default it is set to false (0).

	ieee754=	[MIPS] Select IEEE Std 754 conformance mode
			Format: { strict | legacy | 2008 | relaxed | emulated }
			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
			emulated accept any binaries but enable FPU emulator
				if binary mode is unsupported 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.

	ignore_loglevel	[KNL,EARLY]
			Ignore loglevel setting - this will print /all/

			in crypto/hash_info.h.

	ima_policy=	[IMA]
			The builtin policies to load during IMA setup.
			Format: "tcb | appraise_tcb | secure_boot |
				 fail_securely | critical_data"

			The "tcb" policy measures all programs exec'd, files
			mmap'd for exec, and all files opened with the read
			mode bit set by either the effective uid (euid=0) or
			uid=0.

			The "appraise_tcb" policy appraises the integrity of
			all files owned by root.

			The "secure_boot" policy appraises the integrity
			of files (eg. kexec kernel image, kernel modules,
			firmware, policy, etc) based on file signatures.

			The "fail_securely" policy forces file signature
			verification failure also on privileged mounted
			filesystems with the SB_I_UNVERIFIABLE_SIGNATURE
			flag.

			The "critical_data" policy measures kernel integrity
			critical data.

	ima_tcb		[IMA] Deprecated.  Use ima_policy= instead.
			Load a policy which meets the needs of the Trusted

			Format: <bufsize>
			Set hashing buffer size. Default: 4k.

			ahash performance varies for different chunk sizes on

	init=		[KNL]
			Format: <full_path>
			Run specified binary instead of /sbin/init as init

	initcall_blacklist=  [KNL] Do not execute a comma-separated list of
			initcall functions.  Useful for debugging built-in
			modules and initcalls.

	initramfs_async= [KNL]
			Format: <bool>
			Default: 1
			This parameter controls whether the initramfs
			image is unpacked asynchronously, concurrently
			with devices being probed and
			initialized. This should normally just work,
			but as a debugging aid, one can get the
			historical behaviour of the initramfs
			unpacking being completed before device_ and
			late_ initcalls.

	initrd=		[BOOT,EARLY] Specify the location of the initial ramdisk

	initrdmem=	[KNL,EARLY] Specify a physical address and size from which to
			load the initrd. If an initrd is compiled in or

	intel_iommu=	[DMAR] Intel IOMMU driver (DMAR) option
		on
			Enable intel iommu driver.
		off
			Disable intel iommu driver.
		igfx_off [Default Off]
			By default, gfx is mapped as normal device. If a gfx
			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.
		strict [Default Off]
			Deprecated, equivalent to iommu.strict=1.
		sp_off [Default Off]
			By default, super page will be supported if Intel IOMMU
			has the capability. With this option, super page will
			not be supported.
		sm_on
			Enable the Intel IOMMU scalable mode if the hardware
			advertises that it has support for the scalable mode
			translation.
		sm_off
			Disallow use of the Intel IOMMU scalable mode.
		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.

	intel_idle.max_cstate=	[KNL,HW,ACPI,X86]
			0	disables intel_idle and fall back on acpi_idle.
			1 to 9	specify maximum depth of C-state.

	intel_pstate=	[X86,EARLY]
			disable
			  Do not enable intel_pstate as the default
			  scaling driver for the supported processors
                        active
                          Use intel_pstate driver to bypass the scaling
                          governors layer of cpufreq and provides it own
                          algorithms for p-state selection. There are two
                          P-state selection algorithms provided by
                          intel_pstate in the active mode: powersave and
                          performance.  The way they both operate depends
                          on whether or not the hardware managed P-states
                          (HWP) feature has been enabled in the processor
                          and possibly on the processor model.
			passive
			  Use intel_pstate as a scaling driver, but configure it
			  to work with generic cpufreq governors (instead of
			  enabling its internal governor).  This mode cannot be
			  used along with the hardware-managed P-states (HWP)
			  feature.
			force
			  Enable intel_pstate on systems that prohibit it by default
			  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.
			no_hwp
			  Do not enable hardware P state control (HWP)
			  if available.
			hwp_only
			  Only load intel_pstate on systems which support
			  hardware P state control (HWP) if available.
			support_acpi_ppc
			  Enforce ACPI _PPC performance limits. If the Fixed ACPI
			  Description Table, specifies preferred power management
			  profile as "Enterprise Server" or "Performance Server",
			  then this feature is turned on by default.
			per_cpu_perf_limits
			  Allow per-logical-CPU P-State performance control limits using
			  cpufreq sysfs interface

	intremap=	[X86-64,Intel-IOMMU,EARLY]
			on	enable Interrupt Remapping (default)
			off	disable Interrupt Remapping

			Disable IOMMU bypass, using IOMMU for PCI devices.

	iommu.forcedac=	[ARM64,X86,EARLY] Control IOVA allocation for PCI devices.
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			0 - Try to allocate a 32-bit DMA address first, before
			  falling back to the full range if needed.
			1 - Allocate directly from the full usable range,
			  forcing Dual Address Cycle for PCI cards supporting
			  greater than 32-bit addressing.

	iommu.strict=	[ARM64,X86,S390,EARLY] Configure TLB invalidation behaviour
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			0 - Lazy mode.
			  Request that DMA unmap operations use deferred
			  invalidation of hardware TLBs, for increased
			  throughput at the cost of reduced device isolation.
			  Will fall back to strict mode if not supported by
			  the relevant IOMMU driver.
			1 - Strict mode.
			  DMA unmap operations invalidate IOMMU hardware TLBs
			  synchronously.
			unset - Use value of CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_DMA_{LAZY,STRICT}.
			Note: on x86, strict mode specified via one of the
			legacy driver-specific options takes precedence.

	iommu.passthrough=
			[ARM64,X86,EARLY] Configure DMA to bypass the IOMMU by default.
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			0 - Use IOMMU translation for DMA.
			1 - Bypass the IOMMU for DMA.
			unset - Use value of CONFIG_IOMMU_DEFAULT_PASSTHROUGH.

	irqaffinity=	[SMP] Set the default irq affinity mask
			The argument is a cpu list, as described above.

	irqchip.gicv2_force_probe=
			[ARM,ARM64,EARLY]

			of a GICv2 controller even if the memory range
			exposed by the device tree is too small.

	irqchip.gicv3_nolpi=
			[ARM,ARM64,EARLY]
			Force the kernel to ignore the availability of
			LPIs (and by consequence ITSs). Intended for system
			that use the kernel as a bootloader, and thus want
			to let secondary kernels in charge of setting up
			LPIs.

	irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi= [ARM64,EARLY]
			Enables support for pseudo-NMIs in the kernel. This
			requires the kernel to be built with
			CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI.

	irqfixup	[HW]
			When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers
			for it. Intended to get systems with badly broken
			firmware running.

	irqpoll		[HW]
			When an interrupt is not handled search all handlers

			interrupt. Intended to get systems with badly broken
			firmware running.

	isapnp=		[ISAPNP]
			Format: <RDP>,<reset>,<pci_scan>,<verbosity>

	isolcpus=	[KNL,SMP,ISOL] Isolate a given set of CPUs from disturbance.
			[Deprecated - use cpusets instead]
			Format: [flag-list,]<cpu-list>

			Specify one or more CPUs to isolate from disturbances
			specified in the flag list (default: domain):

			nohz
			  Disable the tick when a single task runs.

			  A residual 1Hz tick is offloaded to workqueues, which you
			  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.

	iucv=		[HW,NET]

	ivrs_ioapic	[HW,X86-64]
			Provide an override to the IOAPIC-ID<->DEVICE-ID
			mapping provided in the IVRS ACPI table.
			By default, PCI segment is 0, and can be omitted.

			For example, to map IOAPIC-ID decimal 10 to
			PCI segment 0x1 and PCI device 00:14.0,
			write the parameter as:
				ivrs_ioapic=10@0001:00:14.0

			Deprecated formats:
			* To map IOAPIC-ID decimal 10 to PCI device 00:14.0
			  write the parameter as:
				ivrs_ioapic[10]=00:14.0
			* To map IOAPIC-ID decimal 10 to PCI segment 0x1 and
			  PCI device 00:14.0 write the parameter as:
				ivrs_ioapic[10]=0001:00:14.0

	ivrs_hpet	[HW,X86-64]
			Provide an override to the HPET-ID<->DEVICE-ID
			mapping provided in the IVRS ACPI table.
			By default, PCI segment is 0, and can be omitted.

			For example, to map HPET-ID decimal 10 to
			PCI segment 0x1 and PCI device 00:14.0,
			write the parameter as:
				ivrs_hpet=10@0001:00:14.0

			Deprecated formats:
			* To map HPET-ID decimal 0 to PCI device 00:14.0
			  write the parameter as:
				ivrs_hpet[0]=00:14.0
			* To map HPET-ID decimal 10 to PCI segment 0x1 and
			  PCI device 00:14.0 write the parameter as:
				ivrs_ioapic[10]=0001:00:14.0

	ivrs_acpihid	[HW,X86-64]
			Provide an override to the ACPI-HID:UID<->DEVICE-ID
			mapping provided in the IVRS ACPI table.
			By default, PCI segment is 0, and can be omitted.

			For example, to map UART-HID:UID AMD0020:0 to
			PCI segment 0x1 and PCI device ID 00:14.5,
			write the parameter as:
				ivrs_acpihid=AMD0020:0@0001:00:14.5

			Deprecated formats:
			* To map UART-HID:UID AMD0020:0 to PCI segment is 0,
			  PCI device ID 00:14.5, write the parameter as:
				ivrs_acpihid[00:14.5]=AMD0020:0
			* To map UART-HID:UID AMD0020:0 to PCI segment 0x1 and
			  PCI device ID 00:14.5, write the parameter as:

	js=		[HW,JOY] Analog joystick
			See Documentation/input/joydev/joystick.rst.

	kasan_multi_shot
			[KNL] Enforce KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) to print
			report on every invalid memory access. Without this
			parameter KASAN will print report only for the first
			invalid access.

	keep_bootcon	[KNL,EARLY]
			Do not unregister boot console at start. This is only
			useful for debugging when something happens in the window
			between unregistering the boot console and initializing
			the real console.

	keepinitrd	[HW,ARM] See retain_initrd.

	kernelcore=	[KNL,X86,PPC,EARLY]
			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,EARLY] 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]
			 keyboard only format: kbd
			 keyboard and serial format: kbd,<serial_device>[,baud]
			Optional Kernel mode setting:
			 kms, kbd format: kms,kbd
			 kms, kbd and serial format: kms,kbd,<ser_dev>[,baud]

	kgdboc_earlycon=	[KGDB,HW,EARLY]
			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.

	kgdbwait	[KGDB,EARLY] Stop kernel execution and enter the
			kernel debugger at the earliest opportunity.

	kmac=		[MIPS] Korina ethernet MAC address.
			Configure the RouterBoard 532 series on-chip
			Ethernet adapter MAC address.

	kmemleak=	[KNL,EARLY] Boot-time kmemleak enable/disable
			Valid arguments: on, off
			Default: on
			Built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=y,
			the default is off.

	kprobe_event=[probe-list]
			[FTRACE] Add kprobe events and enable at boot time.
			The probe-list is a semicolon delimited list of probe
			definitions. Each definition is same as kprobe_events
			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;

			      kprobe_event=p,vfs_read,$arg1,$arg2

			See also Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.rst "Kernel
			Boot Parameter" section.

	kpti=		[ARM64,EARLY] Control page table isolation of
			user and kernel address spaces.
			Default: enabled on cores which need mitigation.
			0: force disabled
			1: force enabled

	kunit.enable=	[KUNIT] Enable executing KUnit tests. Requires
			CONFIG_KUNIT to be set to be fully enabled. The
			default value can be overridden via
			KUNIT_DEFAULT_ENABLED.
			Default is 1 (enabled)

	kvm.ignore_msrs=[KVM] Ignore guest accesses to unhandled MSRs.
			Default is 0 (don't ignore, but inject #GP)

	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 is only supported when kvm.tdp_mmu=Y.

			Default is Y (on).

	kvm.enable_virt_at_load=[KVM,ARM64,LOONGARCH,MIPS,RISCV,X86]
			If enabled, KVM will enable virtualization in hardware
			when KVM is loaded, and disable virtualization when KVM
			is unloaded (if KVM is built as a module).

			If disabled, KVM will dynamically enable and disable
			virtualization on-demand when creating and destroying
			VMs, i.e. on the 0=>1 and 1=>0 transitions of the
			number of VMs.

			Enabling virtualization at module lode avoids potential
			latency for creation of the 0=>1 VM, as KVM serializes
			virtualization enabling across all online CPUs.  The
			"cost" of enabling virtualization when KVM is loaded,
			is that doing so may interfere with using out-of-tree
			hypervisors that want to "own" virtualization hardware.

	kvm.enable_vmware_backdoor=[KVM] Support VMware backdoor PV interface.

			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=
			[KVM] Controls how many 4KiB pages are periodically zapped
			back to huge pages.  0 disables the recovery, otherwise if
			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.

			nested: VHE-based mode with support for nested
				virtualization. Requires at least ARMv8.3
				hardware.

			Defaults to VHE/nVHE based on hardware support. Setting
			mode to "protected" will disable kexec and hibernation
			for the host. "nested" is experimental and should be
			used with extreme caution.

			a.k.a. Two-Dimensional Page Tables.  Default is 1
			(enabled). Disable by KVM if hardware lacks support
			for EPT.

	kvm-intel.emulate_invalid_guest_state=
			[KVM,Intel] Control whether to emulate invalid guest
			state. Ignored if kvm-intel.enable_unrestricted_guest=1,
			as guest state is never invalid for unrestricted
			guests. This param doesn't apply to nested guests (L2),
			as KVM never emulates invalid L2 guest state.
			Default is 1 (enabled).

	kvm-intel.flexpriority=
			[KVM,Intel] Control KVM's use of FlexPriority feature
			(TPR shadow). Default is 1 (enabled). Disable by KVM if

			CVE-2018-3620.

			Valid arguments: never, cond, always

			always: L1D cache flush on every VMENTER.
			cond:	Flush L1D on VMENTER only when the code between

			never:	Disables the mitigation

			Default is cond (do L1 cache flush in specific instances)

	kvm-intel.vpid=	[KVM,Intel] Control KVM's use of Virtual Processor

	l1d_flush=	[X86,INTEL,EARLY]
			Control mitigation for L1D based snooping vulnerability.

			Certain CPUs are vulnerable to an exploit against CPU

			on         - enable the interface for the mitigation

	l1tf=           [X86,EARLY] Control mitigation of the L1TF vulnerability on
			      affected CPUs

			The kernel PTE inversion protection is unconditionally
			enabled and cannot be disabled.

			full
				Provides all available mitigations for the
				L1TF vulnerability. Disables SMT and
				enables all mitigations in the
				hypervisors, i.e. unconditional L1D flush.

				SMT control and L1D flush control via the
				sysfs interface is still possible after
				boot.  Hypervisors will issue a warning
				when the first VM is started in a
				potentially insecure configuration,
				i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled.

			full,force
				Same as 'full', but disables SMT and L1D
				flush runtime control. Implies the
				'nosmt=force' command line option.
				(i.e. sysfs control of SMT is disabled.)

			flush
				Leaves SMT enabled and enables the default
				hypervisor mitigation, i.e. conditional
				L1D flush.

				SMT control and L1D flush control via the
				sysfs interface is still possible after
				boot.  Hypervisors will issue a warning
				when the first VM is started in a
				potentially insecure configuration,
				i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled.

			flush,nosmt

				Disables SMT and enables the default
				hypervisor mitigation.

				SMT control and L1D flush control via the
				sysfs interface is still possible after
				boot.  Hypervisors will issue a warning
				when the first VM is started in a
				potentially insecure configuration,
				i.e. SMT enabled or L1D flush disabled.

			flush,nowarn
				Same as 'flush', but hypervisors will not
				warn when a VM is started in a potentially
				insecure configuration.

			off
				Disables hypervisor mitigations and doesn't
				emit any warnings.
				It also drops the swap size and available
				RAM limit restriction on both hypervisor and

			libata.dma=1	  PATA and SATA Disk DMA only
			libata.dma=2	  ATAPI (CDROM) DMA only
			libata.dma=4	  Compact Flash DMA only
			Combinations also work, so libata.dma=3 enables DMA
			for disks and CDROMs, but not CFs.

			when set.
			Format: <int>

	libata.force=	[LIBATA] Force configurations.  The format is a comma-
			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 is 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.

			* Cable type: 40c, 80c, short40c, unk, ign or sata.
			  Any ID with matching PORT is used.

			* atapi_mod16_dma: Enable the use of ATAPI DMA for
			  commands that are not a multiple of 16 bytes.

			* [no]dmalog: Enable or disable the use of the
			  READ LOG DMA EXT command to access logs.

			* [no]iddevlog: Enable or disable access to the
			  identify device data log.

			* [no]logdir: Enable or disable access to the general
			  purpose log directory.

			* max_sec_128: Set transfer size limit to 128 sectors.

			* max_sec_1024: Set or clear transfer size limit to
			  1024 sectors.

			{ integrity | confidentiality }
			Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to
			integrity, kernel features that allow userland to
			modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
			confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland
			to extract confidential information from the kernel
			are also disabled.

	locktorture.acq_writer_lim= [KNL]
			Set the time limit in jiffies for a lock
			acquisition.  Acquisitions exceeding this limit
			will result in a splat once they do complete.

	locktorture.bind_readers= [KNL]
			Specify the list of CPUs to which the readers are
			to be bound.

	locktorture.bind_writers= [KNL]
			Specify the list of CPUs to which the writers are
			to be bound.

	locktorture.call_rcu_chains= [KNL]
			Specify the number of self-propagating call_rcu()
			chains to set up.  These are used to ensure that
			there is a high probability of an RCU grace period
			in progress at any given time.	Defaults to 0,
			which disables these call_rcu() chains.

	locktorture.long_hold= [KNL]
			Specify the duration in milliseconds for the
			occasional long-duration lock hold time.  Defaults
			to 100 milliseconds.  Select 0 to disable.

	locktorture.nested_locks= [KNL]
			Specify the maximum lock nesting depth that
			locktorture is to exercise, up to a limit of 8
			(MAX_NESTED_LOCKS).  Specify zero to disable.
			Note that this parameter is ineffective on types
			of locks that do not support nested acquisition.

	locktorture.nreaders_stress= [KNL]
			Set the number of locking read-acquisition kthreads.
			Defaults to being automatically set based on the
			number of online CPUs.

	locktorture.nwriters_stress= [KNL]
			Set the number of locking write-acquisition kthreads.

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

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

	locktorture.rt_boost= [KNL]
			Do periodic testing of real-time lock priority
			boosting.  Select 0 to disable, 1 to boost
			only rt_mutex, and 2 to boost unconditionally.
			Defaults to 2, which might seem to be an
			odd choice, but which should be harmless for
			non-real-time spinlocks, due to their disabling
			of preemption.	Note that non-realtime mutexes
			disable boosting.

	locktorture.rt_boost_factor= [KNL]
			Number that determines how often and for how
			long priority boosting is exercised.  This is
			scaled down by the number of writers, so that the
			number of boosts per unit time remains roughly
			constant as the number of writers increases.
			On the other hand, the duration of each boost
			increases with the number of writers.

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

			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.

	logibm.irq=	[HW,MOUSE] Logitech Bus Mouse Driver
			Format: <irq>

	loglevel=	[KNL,EARLY]
			All Kernel Messages with a loglevel smaller than the
			console loglevel will be printed to the console. It can
			also be changed with klogd or other programs. The
			loglevels are defined as follows:

			0 (KERN_EMERG)		system is unusable
			1 (KERN_ALERT)		action must be taken immediately
			2 (KERN_CRIT)		critical conditions
			3 (KERN_ERR)		error conditions
			4 (KERN_WARNING)	warning conditions
			5 (KERN_NOTICE)		normal but significant condition
			6 (KERN_INFO)		informational
			7 (KERN_DEBUG)		debug-level messages

	log_buf_len=n[KMG] [KNL,EARLY]
			Sets the size of the printk ring buffer, in bytes.
			n must be a power of two and greater than the
			minimal size. The minimal size is defined by
			LOG_BUF_SHIFT kernel config parameter. There
			is also CONFIG_LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT config
			parameter that allows to increase the default size
			depending on the number of CPUs. See init/Kconfig
			for more details.

	logo.nologo	[FB] Disables display of the built-in Linux logo.
			This may be used to provide more screen space for
			kernel log messages and is useful when debugging
			kernel boot problems.

	lp=0		[LP]	Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
	lp=port[,port...]	lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
	lp=reset		first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
	lp=auto			printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
				specified in addition to the ports) causes
				attached printers to be reset. Using
				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.
				See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.

	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.

	lsm.debug	[SECURITY] Enable LSM initialization debugging output.

	lsm=lsm1,...,lsmN
			[SECURITY] Choose order of LSM initialization. This
			overrides CONFIG_LSM, and the "security=" parameter.

	machtype=	[Loongson] Share the same kernel image file between
			different yeeloong laptops.
			Example: machtype=lemote-yeeloong-2f-7inch

	maxcpus=	[SMP,EARLY] 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
	(loop.max_loop)	unconditionally pre-created at init time. The default
			number is configured by BLK_DEV_LOOP_MIN_COUNT. Instead
			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,EARLY] Set the memory size.
			Must be specified, otherwise memory size will be 0.

	mem=nn[KMG]	[KNL,BOOT,EARLY] 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]
			[ARM,MIPS,EARLY] - override the memory layout
			reported by firmware.
			Define a memory region of size nn[KMG] starting at
			ss[KMG].
			Multiple different regions can be specified with

	memhp_default_state=online/offline/online_kernel/online_movable
			[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,EARLY] Enable setting of an exact

			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,EARLY] 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,

			Example:
				memmap=100M@2G,100M#3G,1G!1024G

	memmap=nn[KMG]#ss[KMG]
			[KNL,ACPI,EARLY] 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,EARLY] 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$0x18690000
			Some bootloaders may need an escape character before '$',

	memmap=nn[KMG]!ss[KMG,EARLY]
			[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,EARLY] 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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			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,

			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.

	memtest=	[KNL,X86,ARM,M68K,PPC,RISCV,EARLY] 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.

	mem_encrypt=	[X86-64] AMD Secure Memory Encryption (SME) control
			Valid arguments: on, off
			Default: off
			mem_encrypt=on:		Activate SME
			mem_encrypt=off:	Do not activate SME

			Refer to Documentation/virt/kvm/x86/amd-memory-encryption.rst
			for details on when memory encryption can be activated.

	mem_sleep_default=	[SUSPEND] Default system suspend mode:
			s2idle  - Suspend-To-Idle
			shallow - Power-On Suspend or equivalent (if supported)
			deep    - Suspend-To-RAM or equivalent (if supported)
			See Documentation/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.rst.

	mfgptfix	[X86-32] Fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when
			the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS
			version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the
			problem by letting the user disable the workaround.

	mga=		[HW,DRM]

	microcode.force_minrev=	[X86]
			Format: <bool>
			Enable or disable the microcode minimal revision
			enforcement for the runtime microcode loader.

	mini2440=	[ARM,HW,KNL]
			Format:[0..2][b][c][t]
			Default: "0tb"
			MINI2440 configuration specification:
			0 - The attached screen is the 3.5" TFT
			1 - The attached screen is the 7" TFT
			2 - The VGA Shield is attached (1024x768)
			Leaving out the screen size parameter will not load
			the TFT driver, and the framebuffer will be left
			unconfigured.
			b - Enable backlight. The TFT backlight pin will be
			linked to the kernel VESA blanking code and a GPIO
			LED. This parameter is not necessary when using the
			VGA shield.
			c - Enable the s3c camera interface.
			t - Reserved for enabling touchscreen support. The
			touchscreen support is not enabled in the mainstream
			kernel as of 2.6.30, a preliminary port can be found
			in the "bleeding edge" mini2440 support kernel at
			https://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git

	mitigations=
			[X86,PPC,S390,ARM64,EARLY] 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.

			Note, "mitigations" is supported if and only if the
			kernel was built with CPU_MITIGATIONS=y.

			off
				Disable all optional CPU mitigations.  This
				improves system performance, but it may also
				expose users to several CPU vulnerabilities.
				Equivalent to: if nokaslr then kpti=0 [ARM64]
					       gather_data_sampling=off [X86]
					       kvm.nx_huge_pages=off [X86]

			auto (default)
				Mitigate all CPU vulnerabilities, but leave SMT
				enabled, even if it's vulnerable.  This is for
				users who don't want to be surprised by SMT
				getting disabled across kernel upgrades, or who
				have other ways of avoiding SMT-based attacks.
				Equivalent to: (default behavior)

			auto,nosmt
				Mitigate all CPU vulnerabilities, disabling SMT
				if needed.  This is for users who always want to
				be fully mitigated, even if it means losing SMT.
				Equivalent to: l1tf=flush,nosmt [X86]
					       mds=full,nosmt [X86]
					       tsx_async_abort=full,nosmt [X86]
					       mmio_stale_data=full,nosmt [X86]

	mminit_loglevel=
			[KNL,EARLY] 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.

	mmio_stale_data=
			[X86,INTEL,EARLY] Control mitigation for the Processor
			MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities.

			Processor MMIO Stale Data is a class of
			vulnerabilities that may expose data after an MMIO
			operation. Exposed data could originate or end in
			the same CPU buffers as affected by MDS and TAA.
			Therefore, similar to MDS and TAA, the mitigation
			is to clear the affected CPU buffers.

			This parameter controls the mitigation. The
			options are:

			full       - Enable mitigation on vulnerable CPUs

			full,nosmt - Enable mitigation and disable SMT on
				     vulnerable CPUs.

			off        - Unconditionally disable mitigation

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

			Not specifying this option is equivalent to
			mmio_stale_data=full.

			For details see:
			Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/processor_mmio_stale_data.rst

	<module>.async_probe[=<bool>] [KNL]
			If no <bool> value is specified or if the value
			specified is not a valid <bool>, enable asynchronous
			probe on this module.  Otherwise, enable/disable
			asynchronous probe on this module as indicated by the
			<bool> value. See also: module.async_probe

	module.async_probe=<bool>
			[KNL] When set to true, modules will use async probing
			by default. To enable/disable async probing for a
			specific module, use the module specific control that
			is documented under <module>.async_probe. When both
			module.async_probe and <module>.async_probe are
			specified, <module>.async_probe takes precedence for
			the specific module.

	module.enable_dups_trace
			[KNL] When CONFIG_MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS is set,
			this means that duplicate request_module() calls will
			trigger a WARN_ON() instead of a pr_warn(). Note that
			if MODULE_DEBUG_AUTOLOAD_DUPS_TRACE is set, WARN_ON()s
			will always be issued and this option does nothing.
	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=
			[MOUSE] Maximum time between finger touching and
			leaving touchpad surface for touch to be considered
			a tap and be reported as a left button click (for
			touchpads working in absolute mode only).
			Format: <msecs>
	mousedev.xres=	[MOUSE] Horizontal screen resolution, used for devices
			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets
	mousedev.yres=	[MOUSE] Vertical screen resolution, used for devices
			reporting absolute coordinates, such as tablets

	movablecore=	[KNL,X86,PPC,EARLY]
			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,EARLY] 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!

	MTD_Partition=	[MTD]
			Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset>

	MTD_Region=	[MTD] Format:
			<name>,<region-number>[,<base>,<size>,<buswidth>,<altbuswidth>]

	mtdparts=	[MTD]
			See drivers/mtd/parsers/cmdlinepart.c

	mtouchusb.raw_coordinates=
			[HW] Make the MicroTouch USB driver use raw coordinates
			('y', default) or cooked coordinates ('n')

	mtrr=debug	[X86,EARLY]
			Enable printing debug information related to MTRR
			registers at boot time.

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

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

	mtrr_spare_reg_nr=n [X86,EARLY]
			Format: <integer>
			Range: 0,7 : spare reg number
			Default : 1
			Used for mtrr cleanup. It is spare mtrr entries number.
			Set to 2 or more if your graphical card needs more.

	multitce=off	[PPC]  This parameter disables the use of the pSeries
			firmware feature for updating multiple TCE entries
			at a time.

	n2=		[NET] SDL Inc. RISCom/N2 synchronous serial card

	netdev=		[NET] Network devices parameters
			Format: <irq>,<io>,<mem_start>,<mem_end>,<name>
			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.

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

	nf_conntrack.acct=
			[NETFILTER] Enable connection tracking flow accounting
			0 to disable accounting
			1 to enable accounting
			Default value is 0.

	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.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.delay_retrans=
			[NFS] specifies the number of times the NFSv4 client
			retries the request before returning an EAGAIN error,
			after a reply of NFS4ERR_DELAY from the server.
			Only applies if the softerr mount option is enabled,
			and the specified value is >= 0.

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

	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.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.

	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.

	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.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.

	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.

	nfsaddrs=	[NFS] Deprecated.  Use ip= instead.
			See Documentation/admin-guide/nfs/nfsroot.rst.

	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.

	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,][rNNN,][num]
			Valid num: 0 or 1
			0 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog off
			1 - turn hardlockup detector in nmi_watchdog on
			rNNN - configure the watchdog with raw perf event 0xNNN

			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.

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

	no4lvl		[RISCV,EARLY] Disable 4-level and 5-level paging modes.
			Forces kernel to use 3-level paging instead.

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

	noalign		[KNL,ARM]

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

	noautogroup	Disable scheduler automatic task group creation.

	nocache		[ARM,EARLY]

	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.

	no_debug_objects
			[KNL,EARLY] Disable object debugging

	nodsp		[SH] Disable hardware DSP at boot time.

	noefi		[EFI,EARLY] Disable EFI runtime services support.

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

	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

	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.

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

	nofsgsbase	[X86] Disables FSGSBASE instructions.

	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.

	no_hash_pointers
			[KNL,EARLY]
			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.

	nohlt		[ARM,ARM64,MICROBLAZE,MIPS,PPC,RISCV,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 evaluate
			the impact of the sleep instructions. This is also
			useful when using JTAG debugger.

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

	nohugevmalloc	[KNL,X86,PPC,ARM64,EARLY] Disable kernel huge vmalloc mappings.

	nohz=		[KNL] Boottime enable/disable dynamic ticks
			Valid arguments: on, off
			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.

			Note that this argument takes precedence over
			the CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL option.

	noinitrd	[RAM] Tells the kernel not to load any configured
			initial RAM disk.

	nointremap	[X86-64,Intel-IOMMU,EARLY] Do not enable interrupt
			remapping.
			[Deprecated - use intremap=off]

	noinvpcid	[X86,EARLY] Disable the INVPCID cpu feature.

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

	noirqdebug	[X86-32] Disables the code which attempts to detect and

			fault handling.

	no-kvmclock	[X86,KVM,EARLY] Disable paravirtualized KVM clock driver

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

	nolapic_timer	[X86-32,APIC,EARLY] Do not use the local APIC timer.

	nomce		[X86-32] Disable Machine Check Exception

	nomfgpt		[X86-32] Disable Multi-Function General Purpose
			Timer usage (for AMD Geode machines).

	nomodeset	Disable kernel modesetting. Most systems' firmware
			sets up a display mode and provides framebuffer memory
			for output. With nomodeset, DRM and fbdev drivers will
			not load if they could possibly displace the pre-
			initialized output. Only the system framebuffer will
			be available for use. The respective drivers will not
			perform display-mode changes or accelerated rendering.

			Useful as error fallback, or for testing and debugging.

	nomodule	Disable module load

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

			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,EARLY]
			Disables the qspinlock slow path using PV optimizations
			which allow the hypervisor to 'idle' the guest on lock
			contention.

	norandmaps	Don't use address space randomization.  Equivalent to
			echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

	noreplace-smp	[X86-32,SMP] Don't replace SMP instructions
			with UP alternatives

	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).

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

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

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

	nosmp		[SMP,EARLY] Tells an SMP kernel to act as a UP kernel,

			possible in the system.

	nospectre_v2	[X86,PPC_E500,ARM64,EARLY] Disable all mitigations
			for the Spectre variant 2 (indirect branch
			prediction) vulnerability. System may allow data
			leaks with this option.

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

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

	no_timer_check	[X86,APIC] Disables the code which tests for
			broken timer IRQ sources.

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

	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.

	no-vmw-sched-clock
			[X86,PV_OPS,EARLY] Disable paravirtualized VMware
			scheduler clock and use the default one.

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

	nowb		[ARM,EARLY]

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

			NOTE: this parameter will be ignored on systems with the
			LEGACY_XAPIC_DISABLED bit set in the
			IA32_XAPIC_DISABLE_STATUS MSR.

	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.

	nr_cpus=	[SMP,EARLY] 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, EARLY]

			fake nodes interleaved over physical nodes.

	numa=fake=<N>U
			[KNL, ARM64, RISCV, X86, EARLY]
			If given as an integer followed by 'U', it will
			divide each physical node into N emulated nodes.

	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,EARLY] 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

	onenand.bdry=	[HW,MTD] Flex-OneNAND Boundary Configuration

			Format: [die0_boundary][,die0_lock][,die1_boundary][,die1_lock]

			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.

	oops=panic	[KNL,EARLY]
			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. This parameter can be
			used to enable/disable page randomization. The state of
			the flag can be read from sysfs at:
			/sys/module/page_alloc/parameters/shuffle.
			This parameter is only available if CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR=y.

	page_owner=	[KNL,EARLY] 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,EARLY] 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_PAGE_ORDER.

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

	panic_on_taint=	[KNL,EARLY]
			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=1	panic() instead of WARN().  Useful to cause kdump
			on a WARN().

	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)
			bit 7: print only tasks in uninterruptible (blocked) state
			*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.

	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]
			Format: <int>

			the secondary channel, or both channels respectively.
			Disabled by default.

	pata_legacy.iordy_mask=	[HW,LIBATA]
			Format: <int>
			IORDY enable mask.  Set individual bits to allow IORDY
			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.opti82c46x=	[HW,LIBATA]
			Format: <int>
			Set to 1, 2, or 3 for Opti 82c611A on the primary

			Set to non-zero to probe tertiary and further ISA
			port ranges on PCI systems.  Disabled by default.

	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.

	pata_legacy.qdi=	[HW,LIBATA]
			Format: <int>
			Set to non-zero to probe QDI controllers.  By default
			set to 1 if CONFIG_PATA_QDI_MODULE, 0 otherwise.

	pata_legacy.winbond=	[HW,LIBATA]
			Format: <int>
			Set to non-zero to probe Winbond controllers.  Use
			the standard I/O port (0x130) if 1, otherwise the
			value given is the I/O port to use (typically 0x1b0).

			0 otherwise.

	pata_platform.pio_mask=	[HW,LIBATA]
			Format: <int>
			Supported PIO mode mask.  Set individual bits to allow

	pause_on_oops=<int>
			Halt all CPUs after the first oops has been printed for
			the specified number of seconds.  This is to be used if
			your oopses keep scrolling off the screen.

	pcbit=		[HW,ISDN]

	pci=option[,option...]	[PCI,EARLY] 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.

		earlydump	dump PCI config space before the kernel
				changes anything
		off		[X86] don't probe for the PCI bus
		bios		[X86-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
				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).
		conf2		[X86] Force use of PCI Configuration Access
				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).
				See http://wiki.osdev.org/PCI for more info
				on the configuration access mechanisms.
		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.
		use_e820	[X86] Use E820 reservations to exclude parts of
				PCI host bridge windows. This is a workaround
				for BIOS defects in host bridge _CRS methods.
				If you need to use this, please report a bug to
				<linux-pci@vger.kernel.org>.
		no_e820		[X86] Ignore E820 reservations for PCI host
				bridge windows. This is the default on modern
				hardware. If you need to use this, please report
				a bug to <linux-pci@vger.kernel.org>.
		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.
				The default value is 256 bytes.
		cbmemsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
				reserved for the CardBus bridge's memory
				window. The default value is 64 megabytes.
		resource_alignment=
				Format:
				[<order of align>@]<pci_dev>[; ...]
				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.
				To specify the alignment for several
				instances of a device, the PCI vendor,
				device, subvendor, and subdevice may be
				specified, e.g., 12@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f
				for 4096-byte alignment.
		ecrc=		Enable/disable PCIe ECRC (transaction layer
				end-to-end CRC checking). Only effective if
				OS has native AER control (either granted by
				ACPI _OSC or forced via "pcie_ports=native")
				bios: Use BIOS/firmware settings. This is the
				the default.
				off: Turn ECRC off
				on: Turn ECRC on.
		hpiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
				reserved for hotplug bridge's IO window.
				Default size is 256 bytes.
		hpmmiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
				reserved for hotplug bridge's MMIO window.
				Default size is 2 megabytes.
		hpmmioprefsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
				reserved for hotplug bridge's MMIO_PREF window.
				Default size is 2 megabytes.
		hpmemsize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
				reserved for hotplug bridge's MMIO and
				MMIO_PREF window.
				Default size is 2 megabytes.
		hpbussize=nn	The minimum amount of additional bus numbers
				reserved for buses below a hotplug bridge.
				Default is 1.
		realloc=	Enable/disable reallocating PCI bridge resources
				if allocations done by BIOS are too small to
				accommodate resources required by all child
				devices.
				off: Turn realloc off
				on: Turn realloc on
		realloc		same as realloc=on
		noari		do not use PCIe ARI.
		noats		[PCIE, Intel-IOMMU, AMD-IOMMU]
				do not use PCIe ATS (and IOMMU device IOTLB).
		pcie_scan_all	Scan all possible PCIe devices.  Otherwise we
				only look for one device below a PCIe downstream
				port.
		big_root_window	Try to add a big 64bit memory window to the PCIe
				root complex on AMD CPUs. Some GFX hardware
				can resize a BAR to allow access to all VRAM.
				Adding the window is slightly risky (it may
				conflict with unreported devices), so this
				taints the kernel.
		disable_acs_redir=<pci_dev>[; ...]
				Specify one or more PCI devices (in the format
				specified above) separated by semicolons.
				Each device specified will have the PCI ACS
				redirect capabilities forced off which will
				allow P2P traffic between devices through
				bridges without forcing it upstream. Note:
				this removes isolation between devices and
				may put more devices in an IOMMU group.
		config_acs=
				Format:
				<ACS flags>@<pci_dev>[; ...]
				Specify one or more PCI devices (in the format
				specified above) optionally prepended with flags
				and separated by semicolons. The respective
				capabilities will be enabled, disabled or
				unchanged based on what is specified in
				flags.

				ACS Flags is defined as follows:
				  bit-0 : ACS Source Validation
				  bit-1 : ACS Translation Blocking
				  bit-2 : ACS P2P Request Redirect
				  bit-3 : ACS P2P Completion Redirect
				  bit-4 : ACS Upstream Forwarding
				  bit-5 : ACS P2P Egress Control
				  bit-6 : ACS Direct Translated P2P
				Each bit can be marked as:
				  '0' – force disabled
				  '1' – force enabled
				  'x' – unchanged
				For example,
				  pci=config_acs=10x
				would configure all devices that support
				ACS to enable P2P Request Redirect, disable
				Translation Blocking, and leave Source
				Validation unchanged from whatever power-up
				or firmware set it to.

				Note: this may remove isolation between devices
				and may put more devices in an IOMMU group.
		force_floating	[S390] Force usage of floating interrupts.
		nomio		[S390] Do not use MIO instructions.
		norid		[S390] ignore the RID field and force use of
				one PCI domain per PCI function

			Management.
		off	Don't touch ASPM configuration at all.  Leave any
			configuration done by firmware unchanged.
		force	Enable ASPM even on devices that claim not to support it.
			WARNING: Forcing ASPM on may cause system lockups.

	pcie_ports=	[PCIE] PCIe port services handling:
		native	Use native PCIe services (PME, AER, DPC, PCIe hotplug)
			even if the platform doesn't give the OS permission to
			use them.  This may cause conflicts if the platform
			also tries to use these services.
		dpc-native	Use native PCIe service for DPC only.  May
				cause conflicts if firmware uses AER or DPC.
		compat	Disable native PCIe services (PME, AER, DPC, PCIe

			all PCIe root ports use INTx for all services).

	pcmv=		[HW,PCMCIA] BadgePAD 4

	pd_ignore_unused
			[PM]
			Keep all power-domains already enabled by bootloader on,
			even if no driver has claimed them. This is useful
			for debug and development, but should not be
			needed on a platform with proper driver support.

	pdcchassis=	[PARISC,HW] Disable/Enable PDC Chassis Status codes at
			boot time.
			Format: { 0 | 1 }
			See arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_chassis.c

			Override pmtimer IOPort with a hex value.
			e.g. pmtmr=0x508

	pmu_override=	[PPC] Override the PMU.
			This option takes over the PMU facility, so it is no
			longer usable by perf. Setting this option starts the
			PMU counters by setting MMCR0 to 0 (the FC bit is
			cleared). If a number is given, then MMCR1 is set to
			that number, otherwise (e.g., 'pmu_override=on'), MMCR1
			remains 0.

	pm_debug_messages	[SUSPEND,KNL]
			Enable suspend/resume debug messages during boot up.

			Traditionally /proc/pid/mem allows memory permissions to be
			overridden without restrictions. This option may be set to
			restrict that. Can be one of:

			- 'never':  never allow mem overrides.
			If not specified, default is the CONFIG_PROC_MEM_* choice.

	processor.max_cstate=	[HW,ACPI]
			Limit processor to maximum C-state

	ras=option[,option,...]	[KNL] RAS-specific options

		cec_disable	[X86]
				Disable the Correctable Errors Collector,
				see CONFIG_RAS_CEC help text.

	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.

			Note that this argument takes precedence over
			the CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL option.

	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.csd_lock_suppress_rcu_stall=	[KNL]
			Do only a one-line RCU CPU stall warning when
			there is an ongoing too-long CSD-lock wait.

	rcutree.do_rcu_barrier=	[KNL]
			Request a call to rcu_barrier().  This is
			throttled so that userspace tests can safely
			hammer on the sysfs variable if they so choose.
			If triggered before the RCU grace-period machinery
			is fully active, this will error out with EAGAIN.

	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.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.nocb_nobypass_lim_per_jiffy= [KNL]
			On callback-offloaded (rcu_nocbs) CPUs,
			RCU reduces the lock contention that would
			otherwise be caused by callback floods through
			use of the ->nocb_bypass list.	However, in the
			common non-flooded case, RCU queues directly to
			the main ->cblist in order to avoid the extra
			overhead of the ->nocb_bypass list and its lock.
			But if there are too many callbacks queued during
			a single jiffy, RCU pre-queues the callbacks into
			the ->nocb_bypass queue.  The definition of "too
			many" is supplied by this kernel boot parameter.

	rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay= [KNL]
			On callback-offloaded (rcu_nocbs) CPUs, avoid
			disturbing RCU unless the grace period has
			reached the specified age in milliseconds.
			Defaults to zero.  Large values will be capped
			at five seconds.  All values will be rounded down
			to the nearest value representable by jiffies.

	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_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.rcu_divisor= [KNL]
			Set the shift-right count to use to compute
			the callback-invocation batch limit bl from
			the number of callbacks queued on this CPU.
			The result will be bounded below by the value of
			the rcutree.blimit kernel parameter.  Every bl
			callbacks, the softirq handler will exit in
			order to allow the CPU to do other work.

			Please note that this callback-invocation batch
			limit applies only to non-offloaded callback
			invocation.  Offloaded callbacks are instead
			invoked in the context of an rcuoc kthread, which
			scheduler will preempt as it does any other task.

	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_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.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_resched_ns= [KNL]
			Limit the time spend invoking a batch of RCU
			callbacks to the specified number of nanoseconds.
			By default, this limit is checked only once
			every 32 callbacks in order to limit the pain
			inflicted by local_clock() overhead.

	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.

	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.enable_rcu_lazy= [KNL]
			To save power, batch RCU callbacks and flush after
			delay, memory pressure or callback list growing too
			big.

	rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp= [KNL]
			Reduces a latency of synchronize_rcu() call. This approach
			maintains its own track of synchronize_rcu() callers, so it
			does not interact with regular callbacks because it does not
			use a call_rcu[_hurry]() path. Please note, this is for a
			normal grace period.

			How to enable it:

			echo 1 > /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_normal_wake_from_gp
			or pass a boot parameter "rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp=1"

			Default is 0.

	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_by_call_rcu= [KNL]
			In kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, test
			call_rcu() instead of kfree_rcu().

	rcuscale.kfree_mult= [KNL]
			Instead of allocating an object of size kfree_obj,
			allocate one of kfree_mult * sizeof(kfree_obj).
			Defaults to 1.

	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.minruntime= [KNL]
			Set the minimum test run time in seconds.  This
			does not affect the data-collection interval,
			but instead allows better measurement of things
			like CPU consumption.

	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.scale_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.

	rcuscale.writer_holdoff_jiffies= [KNL]
			Additional write-side holdoff between grace
			periods, but in jiffies.  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.  Note that
			in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n and
			CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, this parameter will
			cause the CPU to pass through a quiescent state.
			Given CONFIG_PREEMPTION=n, this will suppress
			RCU CPU stall warnings, but will instead result
			in scheduling-while-atomic splats.

			Use of this module parameter results in splats.


	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, but only
			on the first stall in the set.

	rcutorture.stall_cpu_repeat= [KNL]
			Number of times to repeat the stall sequence,
			so that rcutorture.stall_cpu_repeat=3 will result
			in four stall sequences.

	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_notifiers= [KNL]
			Provide RCU CPU stall notifiers, but see the
			warnings in the RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig
			option's help text.  TL;DR:  You almost certainly
			do not want rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers.

	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.
			The value is in seconds and the maximum allowed
			value is 300 seconds.

	rcupdate.rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout= [KNL]
			Set timeout for expedited RCU CPU stall warning
			messages.  The value is in milliseconds
			and the maximum allowed value is 21000
			milliseconds. Please note that this value is
			adjusted to an arch timer tick resolution.
			Setting this to zero causes the value from
			rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout to be used (after
			conversion from seconds to milliseconds).

	rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_cputime= [KNL]
			Provide statistics on the cputime and count of
			interrupts and tasks during the sampling period. For
			multiple continuous RCU stalls, all sampling periods
			begin at half of the first RCU stall timeout.

	rcupdate.rcu_exp_stall_task_details= [KNL]
			Print stack dumps of any tasks blocking the
			current expedited RCU grace period during an
			expedited RCU CPU stall warning.

	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_lazy_lim= [KNL]
			Number of callbacks on a given CPU that will
			cancel laziness on that CPU.  Use -1 to disable
			cancellation of laziness, but be advised that
			doing so increases the danger of OOM due to
			callback flooding.

	rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info= [KNL]
			Set initial timeout in jiffies for RCU task stall
			informational messages, which give some indication
			of the problem for those not patient enough to
			wait for ten minutes.  Informational messages are
			only printed prior to the stall-warning message
			for a given grace period. Disable with a value
			less than or equal to zero.  Defaults to ten
			seconds.  A change in value does not take effect
			until the beginning of the next grace period.

	rcupdate.rcu_task_stall_info_mult= [KNL]
			Multiplier for time interval between successive
			RCU task stall informational messages for a given
			RCU tasks grace period.  This value is clamped
			to one through ten, inclusive.	It defaults to
			the value three, so that the first informational
			message is printed 10 seconds into the grace
			period, the second at 40 seconds, the third at
			160 seconds, and then the stall warning at 600
			seconds would prevent a fourth at 640 seconds.

	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.	Defaults to ten minutes.
			A change in value does not take effect until
			the beginning of the next grace period.

	rcupdate.rcu_tasks_lazy_ms= [KNL]
			Set timeout in milliseconds RCU Tasks asynchronous
			callback batching for call_rcu_tasks().
			A negative value will take the default.  A value
			of zero will disable batching.	Batching is
			always disabled for synchronize_rcu_tasks().

	rcupdate.rcu_tasks_trace_lazy_ms= [KNL]
			Set timeout in milliseconds RCU Tasks
			Trace asynchronous callback batching for
			call_rcu_tasks_trace().  A negative value
			will take the default.	A value of zero will
			disable batching.  Batching is always disabled
			for synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace().

	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,EARLY]
			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, smba, bmec.
			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] \
				[[,]s[mp]#### \
				[[,]b[ios] | a[cpi] | k[bd] | t[riple] | e[fi] | p[ci]] \
				[[,]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.lookup_instances= [KNL]
			Number of data elements to use for the forms of
			SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU testing.  A negative number
			is negated and multiplied by nr_cpu_ids, while
			zero specifies nr_cpu_ids.

	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
			specified.

	regulator_ignore_unused
			[REGULATOR]
			Prevents regulator framework from disabling regulators
			that are unused, due no driver claiming them. This may
			be useful for debug and development, but should not be
			needed on a platform with proper driver support.

	relax_domain_level=
			[KNL, SMP] Set scheduler's default relax_domain_level.
			See Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v1/cpusets.rst.

	reserve=	[KNL,BUGS] Force kernel to ignore I/O ports or memory
			Format: <base1>,<size1>[,<base2>,<size2>,...]
			Reserve I/O ports or memory so the kernel won't use
			them.  If <base> is less than 0x10000, the region
			is assumed to be I/O ports; otherwise it is memory.

	reserve_mem=	[RAM]
			Format: nn[KNG]:<align>:<label>
			Reserve physical memory and label it with a name that
			other subsystems can use to access it. This is typically
			used for systems that do not wipe the RAM, and this command
			line will try to reserve the same physical memory on
			soft reboots. Note, it is not guaranteed to be the same
			location. For example, if anything about the system changes
			or if booting a different kernel. It can also fail if KASLR
			places the kernel at the location of where the RAM reservation
			was from a previous boot, the new reservation will be at a
			different location.
			Any subsystem using this feature must add a way to verify
			that the contents of the physical memory is from a previous
			boot, as there may be cases where the memory will not be
			located at the same location.

			The format is size:align:label for example, to request
			12 megabytes of 4096 alignment for ramoops:

			reserve_mem=12M:4096:oops ramoops.mem_name=oops

	reservetop=	[X86-32,EARLY]
			Format: nn[KMG]
			Reserves a hole at the top of the kernel virtual
			address space.

	reset_devices	[KNL] Force drivers to reset the underlying device
			during initialization.

	resume=		[SWSUSP]

	resume_offset=	[SWSUSP]
			Specify the offset from the beginning of the partition
			given by "resume=" at which the swap header is located,
			in <PAGE_SIZE> units (needed only for swap files).
			See  Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.rst

	resumedelay=	[HIBERNATION] Delay (in seconds) to pause before attempting to
			read the resume files

	resumewait	[HIBERNATION] Wait (indefinitely) for resume device to show up.
			Useful for devices that are detected asynchronously
			(e.g. USB and MMC devices).

	retain_initrd	[RAM] Keep initrd memory after extraction. After boot, it will
			be accessible via /sys/firmware/initrd.

	retbleed=	[X86] Control mitigation of RETBleed (Arbitrary
			Speculative Code Execution with Return Instructions)
			vulnerability.

			AMD-based UNRET and IBPB mitigations alone do not stop
			sibling threads from influencing the predictions of other
			sibling threads. For that reason, STIBP is used on pro-
			cessors that support it, and mitigate SMT on processors
			that don't.

			off          - no mitigation
			auto         - automatically select a migitation
			auto,nosmt   - automatically select a mitigation,
				       disabling SMT if necessary for
				       the full mitigation (only on Zen1
				       and older without STIBP).
			ibpb         - On AMD, mitigate short speculation
				       windows on basic block boundaries too.
				       Safe, highest perf impact. It also
				       enables STIBP if present. Not suitable
				       on Intel.
			ibpb,nosmt   - Like "ibpb" above but will disable SMT
				       when STIBP is not available. This is
				       the alternative for systems which do not
				       have STIBP.
			unret        - Force enable untrained return thunks,
				       only effective on AMD f15h-f17h based
				       systems.
			unret,nosmt  - Like unret, but will disable SMT when STIBP
				       is not available. This is the alternative for
				       systems which do not have STIBP.

			Selecting 'auto' will choose a mitigation method at run
			time according to the CPU.

			Not specifying this option is equivalent to retbleed=auto.

	rfkill.default_state=
		0	"airplane mode".  All wifi, bluetooth, wimax, gps, fm,
			etc. communication is blocked by default.
		1	Unblocked.

	rfkill.master_switch_mode=

	riscv_isa_fallback [RISCV,EARLY]
			When CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_FALLBACK is not enabled, permit
			falling back to detecting extension support by parsing
			"riscv,isa" property on devicetree systems when the
			replacement properties are not found. See the Kconfig
			entry for RISCV_ISA_FALLBACK.

	ro		[KNL] Mount root device read-only on boot

	rodata=		[KNL,EARLY]
		on	Mark read-only kernel memory as read-only (default).
		off	Leave read-only kernel memory writable for debugging.
		full	Mark read-only kernel memory and aliases as read-only
		        [arm64]

	rockchip.usb_uart
			[EARLY]
			Enable the uart passthrough on the designated usb port
			on Rockchip SoCs. When active, the signals of the
			debug-uart get routed to the D+ and D- pins of the usb
			port and the regular usb controller gets disabled.

	root=		[KNL] Root filesystem
			Usually this a a block device specifier of some kind,
			see the early_lookup_bdev comment in
			block/early-lookup.c for details.
			Alternatively this can be "ram" for the legacy initial
			ramdisk, "nfs" and "cifs" for root on a network file
			system, or "mtd" and "ubi" for mounting from raw flash.

	rootdelay=	[KNL] Delay (in seconds) to pause before attempting to
			mount the root filesystem

	rootflags=	[KNL] Set root filesystem mount option string

	rootfstype=	[KNL] Set root filesystem type

	rootwait	[KNL] Wait (indefinitely) for root device to show up.

			managed by CMA.

	rw		[KNL] Mount root device read-write on boot

	S		[KNL] Run init in single mode

	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. Deprecated, equivalent to
			iommu.strict=1.

	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.

	sa1100ir	[NET]
			See drivers/net/irda/sa1100_ir.c.

	sched_verbose	[KNL,EARLY] 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=
			[Deprecated]
			[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
				1			64 ms
				2			128 ms
			and so on.
			Format: integer between 0 and 10
			Default is 0.

	scftorture.holdoff= [KNL]

			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

			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.

			Number seconds to wait after the start of the
			test before initiating CPU-hotplug operations.

	scftorture.onoff_interval= [KNL]

			default of zero avoids shutting down the system.
			Non-zero values are useful for automated tests.

			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]

			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,

			value of -1 will instead select a weight of zero.

	scftorture.weight_single_wait= [KNL]

			smp_call_function_single() function with a
			non-zero "wait" parameter.  See weight_single.

	skew_tick=	[KNL,EARLY] 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.
			Format: { "0" | "1" }
			0 -- disable. (may be 1 via CONFIG_CMDLINE="skew_tick=1"
			1 -- enable.
			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
			enable at boot. This has been deprecated by the
			"lsm=" parameter.

	selinux=	[SELINUX] Disable or enable SELinux at boot time.
			Format: { "0" | "1" }

	shapers=	[NET]
			Maximal number of shapers.

	show_lapic=	[APIC,X86] Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller
			Limit apic dumping. The parameter defines the maximal
			number of local apics being dumped. Also it is possible
			to set it to "all" by meaning -- no limit here.
			Format: { 1 (default) | 2 | ... | all }.
			The parameter valid if only apic=debug or
			apic=verbose is specified.
			Example: apic=debug show_lapic=all

	slab_debug[=options[,slabs][;[options[,slabs]]...]	[MM]
			Enabling slab_debug allows one to determine the
			culprit if slab objects become corrupted. Enabling
			slab_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
			Documentation/mm/slub.rst.
			(slub_debug legacy name also accepted for now)

	slab_max_order= [MM]
			Determines the maximum allowed order for slabs.
			A high setting may cause OOMs due to memory
			fragmentation. For more information see
			Documentation/mm/slub.rst.
			(slub_max_order legacy name also accepted for now)

	slab_merge	[MM]
			Enable merging of slabs with similar size when the
			kernel is built without CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT.
			(slub_merge legacy name also accepted for now)

	slab_min_objects=	[MM]
			The minimum number of objects per slab. SLUB will
			increase the slab order up to slab_max_order to
			generate a sufficiently large slab able to contain
			the number of objects indicated. The higher the number
			of objects the smaller the overhead of tracking slabs
			and the less frequently locks need to be acquired.
			For more information see Documentation/mm/slub.rst.
			(slub_min_objects legacy name also accepted for now)

	slab_min_order=	[MM]
			Determines the minimum page order for slabs. Must be

			Documentation/mm/slub.rst.
			(slub_min_order legacy name also accepted for now)

	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/mm/slub.rst.
			(slub_nomerge legacy name also accepted for now)

			(BHI) vulnerability.  This setting affects the
			deployment of the HW BHI control and the SW BHB
			clearing sequence.

			on     - (default) Enable the HW or SW mitigation as
				 needed.  This protects the kernel from
				 both syscalls and VMs.
			vmexit - On systems which don't have the HW mitigation
				 available, enable the SW mitigation on vmexit
				 ONLY.  On such systems, the host kernel is

				 may still be vulnerable to syscall attacks.
			off    - Disable the mitigation.

	spectre_v2=	[X86,EARLY] Control mitigation of Spectre variant 2
			(indirect branch speculation) vulnerability.
			The default operation protects the kernel from

			off  - unconditionally disable, implies
			       spectre_v2_user=off
			auto - kernel detects whether your CPU model is
			       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
			CONFIG_MITIGATION_RETPOLINE configuration option,
			and 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:

			retpoline	  - replace indirect branches
			retpoline,generic - Retpolines
			retpoline,lfence  - LFENCE; indirect branch
			retpoline,amd     - alias for retpoline,lfence
			eibrs		  - Enhanced/Auto IBRS
			eibrs,retpoline   - Enhanced/Auto IBRS + Retpolines
			eibrs,lfence      - Enhanced/Auto IBRS + LFENCE

	spec_store_bypass_disable=
			[HW,EARLY] 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.

	split_lock_detect=
			[X86] Enable split lock detection or bus lock detection

			When enabled (and if hardware support is present), atomic
			instructions that access data across cache line
			boundaries will result in an alignment check exception
			for split lock detection or a debug exception for
			bus lock detection.

			off	- not enabled

			warn	- the kernel will emit rate-limited warnings
				  about applications triggering the #AC
				  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 -
				  Set system wide rate limit to N bus locks
				  per second for bus lock detection.
				  0 < N <= 1000.

				  N/A for split lock detection.


			If an #AC exception is hit in the kernel or in
			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.

	srbds=		[X86,INTEL,EARLY]
			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
				performance impact to RDRAND and RDSEED

	srcutree.big_cpu_lim [KNL]
			Specifies the number of CPUs constituting a
			large system, such that srcu_struct structures
			should immediately allocate an srcu_node array.
			This kernel-boot parameter defaults to 128,
			but takes effect only when the low-order four
			bits of srcutree.convert_to_big is equal to 3
			(decide at boot).

	srcutree.convert_to_big [KNL]
			Specifies under what conditions an SRCU tree
			srcu_struct structure will be converted to big
			form, that is, with an rcu_node tree:

				   0:  Never.
				   1:  At init_srcu_struct() time.
				   2:  When rcutorture decides to.
				   3:  Decide at boot time (default).
				0x1X:  Above plus if high contention.

			Either way, the srcu_node tree will be sized based
			on the actual runtime number of CPUs (nr_cpu_ids)
			instead of the compile-time CONFIG_NR_CPUS.

	srcutree.counter_wrap_check [KNL]
			Specifies how frequently to check for
			grace-period sequence counter wrap for the
			srcu_data structure's ->srcu_gp_seq_needed field.
			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.

	srcutree.exp_holdoff [KNL]
			Specifies how many nanoseconds must elapse
			since the end of the last SRCU grace period for
			a given srcu_struct until the next normal SRCU
			grace period will be considered for automatic
			expediting.  Set to zero to disable automatic
			expediting.

	srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay [KNL]
			Specifies the number of no-delay instances
			per jiffy for which the SRCU grace period
			worker thread will be rescheduled with zero
			delay. Beyond this limit, worker thread will
			be rescheduled with a sleep delay of one jiffy.

	srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase [KNL]
			Specifies the per-grace-period phase, number of
			non-sleeping polls of readers. Beyond this limit,
			grace period worker thread will be rescheduled
			with a sleep delay of one jiffy, between each
			rescan of the readers, for a grace period phase.

	srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay [KNL]
			Specifies number of microseconds of non-sleeping
			delay between each non-sleeping poll of readers.

	srcutree.small_contention_lim [KNL]
			Specifies the number of update-side contention
			events per jiffy will be tolerated before
			initiating a conversion of an srcu_struct
			structure to big form.	Note that the value of
			srcutree.convert_to_big must have the 0x10 bit
			set for contention-based conversions to occur.

	ssbd=		[ARM64,HW,EARLY]
			Speculative Store Bypass Disable control

			override the default stack gap protection. The value
			is in page units and it defines how many pages prior

			growing up) the main stack are reserved for no other
			mapping. Default value is 256 pages.

	stack_depot_disable= [KNL,EARLY]
			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

			on kernel addresses.

	sunrpc.min_resvport=
	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=
			[NFS,SUNRPC]
			Limit the number of requests that the server will
			process in parallel from a single connection.
			The default value is 0 (no 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.

			auto	    the server chooses an appropriate mode
				    automatically using heuristics
			global	    a single global pool contains all CPUs

	sunrpc.tcp_slot_table_entries=
	sunrpc.udp_slot_table_entries=
			[NFS,SUNRPC]
			Sets the upper limit on the number of simultaneous
			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.

	suspend.pm_test_delay=
			[SUSPEND]
			Sets the number of seconds to remain in a suspend test
			mode before resuming the system (see

			noforce -- Never use bounce buffers (for debugging)

	switches=	[HW,M68k,EARLY]

	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

	sysrq_always_enabled
			[KNL]
			Ignore sysrq setting - this boot parameter will
			neutralize any effect of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq.
			Useful for debugging.

	tcpmhash_entries= [KNL,NET]
			Set the number of tcp_metrics_hash slots.
			Default value is 8192 or 16384 depending on total

			cache size. See Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst
			"tcp_no_metrics_save" section for more details.

	tdfx=		[HW,DRM]

	test_suspend=	[SUSPEND]
			Format: { "mem" | "standby" | "freeze" }[,N]
			Specify "mem" (for Suspend-to-RAM) or "standby" (for
			standby suspend) or "freeze" (for suspend type freeze)
			as the system sleep state during system startup with
			the optional capability to repeat N number of times.
			The system is woken from this state using a

	thash_entries=	[KNL,NET]
			Set number of hash buckets for TCP connection

	thermal.act=	[HW,ACPI]
			-1: disable all active trip points in all thermal zones

	thermal.psv=	[HW,ACPI]
			-1: disable all passive trip points
			<degrees C>: override all passive trip points to this

	thermal.tzp=	[HW,ACPI]
			Specify global default ACPI thermal zone polling rate
			<deci-seconds>: poll all this frequency
			0: no polling (default)

	thp_anon=	[KNL]
			Format: <size>[KMG],<size>[KMG]:<state>;<size>[KMG]-<size>[KMG]:<state>
			state is one of "always", "madvise", "never" or "inherit".
			Control the default behavior of the system with respect

			Can be used multiple times for multiple anon THP sizes.
			See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst for more
			details.

	threadirqs	[KNL,EARLY]
			Force threading of all interrupt handlers except those
			marked explicitly IRQF_NO_THREAD.

	topology=	[S390,EARLY]
			Format: {off | on}
			Specify if the kernel should make use of the cpu
			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.disable_onoff_at_boot= [KNL]
			Prevent the CPU-hotplug component of torturing
			until after init has spawned.

	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]
			Duration of each verbose-printk() sleep in jiffies.

	tpm.disable_pcr_integrity= [HW,TPM]
			Do not protect PCR registers from unintended physical
			access, or interposers in the bus by the means of
			having an integrity protected session wrapped around
			TPM2_PCR_Extend command. Consider this in a situation
			where TPM is heavily utilized by IMA, thus protection
			causing a major performance hit, and the space where
			machines are deployed is by other means guarded.

	tpm_suspend_pcr=[HW,TPM]
			Format: integer pcr id
			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.

	tpm_tis.interrupts= [HW,TPM]
			Enable interrupts for the MMIO based physical layer
			for the FIFO interface. By default it is set to false
			(0). For more information about TPM hardware interfaces
			defined by Trusted Computing Group (TCG) see
			https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/pc-client-platform-tpm-profile-ptp-specification/

	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
			tp_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.

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

	trace_clock=	[FTRACE] Set the clock used for tracing events
			at boot up.
			local - Use the per CPU time stamp counter
				(converted into nanoseconds). Fast, but
				depending on the architecture, may not be
				in sync between CPUs.
			global - Event time stamps are synchronize across
				CPUs. May be slower than the local clock,
				but better for some race conditions.
			counter - Simple counting of events (1, 2, ..)
				note, some counts may be skipped due to the
				infrastructure grabbing the clock more than
				once per event.
			uptime - Use jiffies as the time stamp.
			perf - Use the same clock that perf uses.
			mono - Use ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() for time stamps.
			mono_raw - Use ktime_get_raw_fast_ns() for time
				stamps.
			boot - Use ktime_get_boot_fast_ns() for time stamps.
			Architectures may add more clocks. See
			Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst for more details.

	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_instance=[instance-info]
			[FTRACE] Create a ring buffer instance early in boot up.
			This will be listed in:

				/sys/kernel/tracing/instances

			Events can be enabled at the time the instance is created
			via:

				trace_instance=<name>,<system1>:<event1>,<system2>:<event2>

			Note, the "<system*>:" portion is optional if the event is
			unique.

				trace_instance=foo,sched:sched_switch,irq_handler_entry,initcall

			will enable the "sched_switch" event (note, the "sched:" is optional, and
			the same thing would happen if it was left off). The irq_handler_entry
			event, and all events under the "initcall" system.

			Flags can be added to the instance to modify its behavior when it is
			created. The flags are separated by '^'.

			The available flags are:

			    traceoff	- Have the tracing instance tracing disabled after it is created.
			    traceprintk	- Have trace_printk() write into this trace instance
					  (note, "printk" and "trace_printk" can also be used)

				trace_instance=foo^traceoff^traceprintk,sched,irq

			The flags must come before the defined events.

			If memory has been reserved (see memmap for x86), the instance
			can use that memory:

				memmap=12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_map@0x284500000:12M

			The above will create a "boot_map" instance that uses the physical
			memory at 0x284500000 that is 12Megs. The per CPU buffers of that
			instance will be split up accordingly.

			Alternatively, the memory can be reserved by the reserve_mem option:

				reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_map@trace

			This will reserve 12 megabytes at boot up with a 4096 byte alignment
			and place the ring buffer in this memory. Note that due to KASLR, the
			memory may not be the same location each time, which will not preserve
			the buffer content.

			Also note that the layout of the ring buffer data may change between
			kernel versions where the validator will fail and reset the ring buffer
			if the layout is not the same as the previous kernel.

			If the ring buffer is used for persistent bootups and has events enabled,
			it is recommend to disable tracing so that events from a previous boot do not
			mix with events of the current boot (unless you are debugging a random crash
			at boot up).

				reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_map^traceoff^traceprintk@trace,sched,irq

			See also Documentation/trace/debugging.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/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.

	trace_trigger=[trigger-list]
			[FTRACE] Add a event trigger on specific events.
			Set a trigger on top of a specific event, with an optional
			filter.

			The format is is "trace_trigger=<event>.<trigger>[ if <filter>],..."
			Where more than one trigger may be specified that are comma deliminated.

			For example:

			  trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2"

			The above will enable the "stacktrace" trigger on the "sched_switch"
			event but only trigger it if the "prev_state" of the "sched_switch"
			event is "2" (TASK_UNINTERUPTIBLE).

			See also "Event triggers" in Documentation/trace/events.rst


	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/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

	transparent_hugepage=
			[KNL]
			Format: [always|madvise|never]
			Can be used to control the default behavior of the system
			with respect to transparent hugepages.
			See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst
			for more details.

	trusted.source=	[KEYS]
			Format: <string>
			This parameter identifies the trust source as a backend
			for trusted keys implementation. Supported trust
			sources:
			- "tpm"
			- "tee"
			- "caam"
			- "dcp"
			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.

	trusted.rng=	[KEYS]
			Format: <string>
			The RNG used to generate key material for trusted keys.
			Can be one of:
			- "kernel"
			- the same value as trusted.source: "tpm" or "tee"
			- "default"
			If not specified, "default" is used. In this case,
			the RNG's choice is left to each individual trust source.

	trusted.dcp_use_otp_key
			This is intended to be used in combination with
			trusted.source=dcp and will select the DCP OTP key
			instead of the DCP UNIQUE key blob encryption.

	trusted.dcp_skip_zk_test
			This is intended to be used in combination with
			trusted.source=dcp and will disable the check if the
			blob key is all zeros. This is helpful for situations where
			having this key zero'ed is acceptable. E.g. in testing
			scenarios.

	tsc=		Disable clocksource stability checks for TSC.
			Format: <string>
			[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).
			[x86] recalibrate: force recalibration against a HW timer
			(HPET or PM timer) on systems whose TSC frequency was
			obtained from HW or FW using either an MSR or CPUID(0x15).
			Warn if the difference is more than 500 ppm.
			[x86] watchdog: Use TSC as the watchdog clocksource with
			which to check other HW timers (HPET or PM timer), but
			only on systems where TSC has been deemed trustworthy.
			This will be suppressed by an earlier tsc=nowatchdog and
			can be overridden by a later tsc=nowatchdog.  A console
			message will flag any such suppression or overriding.

	tsc_early_khz=  [X86,EARLY] 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.
			Format: <unsigned int>

	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,EARLY] 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.

			For details see:
			Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/tsx_async_abort.rst

	turbografx.map[2|3]=	[HW,JOY]

			(default 5000 = 5.0 seconds).

	usbcore.nousb	[USB] Disable the USB subsystem

	usbcore.quirks=
			[USB] A list of quirk entries to augment the built-in
			usb core quirk list. List entries are separated by
			commas. Each entry has the form
			VendorID:ProductID:Flags. The IDs are 4-digit hex
			numbers and Flags is a set of letters. Each letter
			will change the built-in quirk; setting it if it is
			clear and clearing it if it is set. The letters have
			the following meanings:
				a = USB_QUIRK_STRING_FETCH_255 (string

					variable used in the calculation);
				i = USB_QUIRK_DEVICE_QUALIFIER (device can't

					requests);
				j = USB_QUIRK_IGNORE_REMOTE_WAKEUP (device

	usb-storage.quirks=
			[UMS] A list of quirks entries to supplement or
			override the built-in unusual_devs list.  List
			entries are separated by commas.  Each entry has
			the form VID:PID:Flags where VID and PID are Vendor

			Example: quirks=0419:aaf5:rl,0421:0433:rc

	user_debug=	[KNL,ARM]
			Format: <int>
			See arch/arm/Kconfig.debug help text.

				nohigh = do not allocate PTE pages in
					HIGHMEM regardless of setting
					of CONFIG_HIGHPTE.

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

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

	vdso32=		[X86] Control the 32-bit vDSO
			vdso32=1: enable 32-bit VDSO
			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:
			dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!

	video=		[FB,EARLY] Frame buffer configuration
			See Documentation/fb/modedb.rst.

	video.brightness_switch_enabled= [ACPI]
			Format: [0|1]
			If set to 1, on receiving an ACPI notify event

			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.
			default: 1

	virtio_mmio.device=
			[VMMIO] Memory mapped virtio (platform) device.

				<size>@<baseaddr>:<irq>[:<id>]
			where:
				<size>     := size (can use standard suffixes
						like K, M and G)
				<baseaddr> := physical base address
				<irq>      := interrupt number (as passed to
						request_irq())
				<id>       := (optional) platform device id
			example:
				virtio_mmio.device=1K@0x100b0000:48:7

			Can be used multiple times for multiple devices.

	vga=		[BOOT,X86-32] Select a particular video mode
			See Documentation/arch/x86/boot.rst and
			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,EARLY] Forces the vmalloc area to have an
			exact size of <nn>. This can be used to increase
			the minimum size (128MB on x86, arm32 platforms).
			It can also be used to decrease the size and leave more room
			for directly mapped kernel RAM. Note that this parameter does
			not exist on many other platforms (including arm64, alpha,
			loongarch, arc, csky, hexagon, microblaze, mips, nios2, openrisc,
			parisc, m64k, powerpc, riscv, sh, um, xtensa, s390, sparc).

			Format: <command>

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

	vsyscall=	[X86-64,EARLY]
			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     Vsyscalls turn into traps and are emulated
			            reasonably safely.  The vsyscall page is
				    readable.

			xonly       [default] 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.

	vt.color=	[VT] Default text color.
			Format: 0xYX, X = foreground, Y = background.
			Default: 0x07 = light gray on black.

	vt.cur_default=	[VT] Default cursor shape.
			Format: 0xCCBBAA, where AA, BB, and CC are the same as
			the parameters of the <Esc>[?A;B;Cc escape sequence;
			see VGA-softcursor.txt. Default: 2 = underline.

	vt.default_blu=	[VT]
			Format: <blue0>,<blue1>,<blue2>,...,<blue15>
			Change the default blue palette of the console.
			This is a 16-member array composed of values
			ranging from 0-255.

	vt.default_grn=	[VT]
			Format: <green0>,<green1>,<green2>,...,<green15>
			Change the default green palette of the console.
			This is a 16-member array composed of values
			ranging from 0-255.

	vt.default_red=	[VT]
			Format: <red0>,<red1>,<red2>,...,<red15>
			Change the default red palette of the console.
			This is a 16-member array composed of values
			ranging from 0-255.

	vt.default_utf8=
			[VT]
			Format=<0|1>
			Set system-wide default UTF-8 mode for all tty's.
			Default is 1, i.e. UTF-8 mode is enabled for all
			newly opened terminals.

	vt.global_cursor_default=
			[VT]
			Format=<-1|0|1>
			Set system-wide default for whether a cursor
			is shown on new VTs. Default is -1,
			i.e. cursors will be created by default unless
			overridden by individual drivers. 0 will hide
			cursors, 1 will display them.

	vt.italic=	[VT] Default color for italic text; 0-15.
			Default: 2 = green.

	vt.underline=	[VT] Default color for underlined text; 0-15.
			Default: 3 = cyan.

	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.unbound_cpus=
			[KNL,SMP] Specify to constrain one or some CPUs
			to use in unbound workqueues.
			Format: <cpu-list>
			By default, all online CPUs are available for
			unbound workqueues.

	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.panic_on_stall=<uint>
			Panic when workqueue stall is detected by
			CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG. It sets the number times of the
			stall to trigger panic.

			The default is 0, which disables the panic on stall.

	workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us=
			Per-cpu work items which run for longer than this
			threshold are automatically considered CPU intensive
			and excluded from concurrency management to prevent
			them from noticeably delaying other per-cpu work
			items. Default is 10000 (10ms).

			If CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel
			will report the work functions which violate this
			threshold repeatedly. They are likely good
			candidates for using WQ_UNBOUND workqueues instead.

	workqueue.cpu_intensive_warning_thresh=<uint>
			If CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel
			will report the work functions which violate the
			intensive_threshold_us repeatedly. In order to prevent
			spurious warnings, start printing only after a work
			function has violated this threshold number of times.

			The default is 4 times. 0 disables the warning.

	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.default_affinity_scope=
			Select the default affinity scope to use for unbound
			workqueues. Can be one of "cpu", "smt", "cache",
			"numa" and "system". Default is "cache". For more
			information, see the Affinity Scopes section in
			Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst.

			This can be changed after boot by writing to the
			matching /sys/module/workqueue/parameters file. All
			workqueues with the "default" affinity scope will be
			updated accordingly.

	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.

	writecombine=	[LOONGARCH,EARLY] Control the MAT (Memory Access
			Type) of ioremap_wc().

			on   - Enable writecombine, use WUC for ioremap_wc()
			off  - Disable writecombine, use SUC for ioremap_wc()

	x2apic_phys	[X86-64,APIC,EARLY] 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,EARLY]
			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,EARLY]
			Crash from Xen panic notifier, without executing late
			panic() code such as dumping handler.

	xen_mc_debug	[X86,XEN,EARLY]
			Enable multicall debugging when running as a Xen PV guest.
			Enabling this feature will reduce performance a little
			bit, so it should only be enabled for obtaining extended
			debug data in case of multicall errors.

	xen_msr_safe=	[X86,XEN,EARLY]
			Format: <bool>
			Select whether to always use non-faulting (safe) MSR
			access functions when running as Xen PV guest. The
			default value is controlled by CONFIG_XEN_PV_MSR_SAFE.

	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,EARLY] 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,EARLY]
			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).

	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,EARLY]
			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.
