+ Warning: disabling this option may break 32-bit applications.
+
+ Provide kuser helpers in a special purpose fixed-address page. The
+ kernel provides helper code to userspace in read-only form at a fixed
+ location to allow userspace to be independent of the CPU type fitted
+ to the system. This permits 32-bit binaries to be run on ARMv4 through
+ to ARMv8 without modification.
+
+ See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
+
+ However, the fixed-address nature of these helpers can be used by ROP
+ (return-orientated programming) authors when creating exploits.
+
+ If all of the 32-bit binaries and libraries which run on your platform
+ are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of these
+ helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder such exploits.
+ However, in that case, if a binary or library relying on those helpers
+ is run, it will receive a SIGSEGV signal, which will terminate the
+ program. Typically, binaries compiled for ARMv7 or later do not use
+ the kuser helpers.
+
+ Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not need
+ these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y.

Make it possible to disable the kuser helpers by adding a KUSER_HELPERS config option (enabled by default). When disabled, all kuser helpers-related code is removed from the kernel and no mapping is done at the fixed high address (0xffff0000); any attempt to use a kuser helper from a 32-bit process will result in a segfault.
