ARM: implement CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM by disabling access to RAM via /dev/mem There are very few legitimate use cases, if any, for directly accessing system RAM through /dev/mem.

---help---
If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
be used by people debugging the kernel.
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
If in doubt, say Y.

ARM: ftrace: enable function graph tracer Add the options to enable the function graph tracer on ARM. Function graph tracer support requires frame pointers, so exclude Thumb-2 and also make sure FRAME_POINTER gets enabled when FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is used, since FUNCTION_TRACER doesn't "select FRAME_POINTER" when ARM_UNWIND is used. Therefore, with GCC 4.4.0+, you get plain function tracing without frame pointers, but you'll need them if you want function graph tracing.

config DEBUG_USER
bool "Verbose user fault messages"
help
When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
production system. Most people should say N here.
In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of:
1 - undefined instruction events
2 - system calls
4 - invalid data aborts
8 - SIGSEGV faults
16 - SIGBUS faults
