9 config SECURITY_DMESG_RESTRICT
10 bool "Restrict unprivileged access to the kernel syslog"
13 This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel
16 If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced
17 unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1).
19 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
22 bool "Enable different security models"
26 This allows you to choose different security modules to be
27 configured into your kernel.
29 If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
32 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
35 bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"
37 This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by
38 the TPM bios character driver and IMA, an integrity provider. It is
39 not used by SELinux or SMACK.
41 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
43 config SECURITY_NETWORK
44 bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
47 This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
48 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
49 implement socket and networking access controls.
50 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
52 config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
53 bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
54 depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
56 This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
57 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
58 implement per-packet access controls based on labels
59 derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are
60 designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
61 to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
63 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
66 bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
69 This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
70 If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
71 implement pathname based access controls.
72 If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
75 bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
76 depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
78 This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
79 Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
80 Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
81 of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
84 Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
85 initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
86 create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
87 helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
88 correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
91 Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
92 confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
93 it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
94 providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
96 See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
98 See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
99 See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
100 Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
102 If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
104 config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
105 int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
106 depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
107 default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
110 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
111 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
112 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
114 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
115 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
116 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
117 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
118 this low address space will need the permission specific to the
