+	help
+	  In order to securely handle Data Asynchronous Memory Errors, we need
+	  to do a barrier upon kernel entry when coming from userspace. This
+	  barrier guarantees us that any pending DAME will be serviced right
+	  away. We also need to do a barrier when returning from kernel to user.
+	  This way, if the kernel or the user triggered a DAME, it will be
+	  serviced by knowing we are coming from kernel or user and avoid
+	  pulling the wrong lever (panic for kernel or sigfault for user).
+	  This can be costly but ensures that user cannot interfere with kernel.
+	  /!\ Do not disable unless you want to open a giant breach between
+	  user and kernel /!\
+
+config CACHECTL_UNSAFE_PHYS_OPERATIONS
+	bool "Enable cachectl syscall unsafe physical operations"
+	default n
+	help
+	  Enable the cachectl syscall to allow writing back/invalidating memory

+	  a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more
+	  than one CPU, say Y.
+
+	  If you say N here, the kernel will run on uni- and multiprocessor
+	  machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
+	  you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
+	  uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
+	  will run faster if you say N here.

+
+config KVX_DEBUG_TLB_WRITE
+	bool "Enable TLBs write checks"

+	help
+	  Enabling this option will enable TLB access checks. This is

+config KVX_DEBUG_TLB_ACCESS

+	help
+	  Enabling this option will enable TLB entry manipulation logging.

+	  Set the number of bits used as index of entries that will be logged
+	  in a ring buffer called kvx_tlb_access. One entry in the table
+	  contains registers TEL, TEH and MMC. It also logs the type of the
+	  operations (0:read, 1:write, 2:probe). Buffer is per CPU. For one

+config DEBUG_SFR_SET_MASK

+	help
+	  Verify that values written using kvx_sfr_set_mask match the mask.
+	  This ensure that no extra bits of SFR will be overridden by some
+	  incorrectly truncated values. This can lead to huge problems by
+	  modifying important bits in system registers.
