-config KEYS
- bool "Enable access key retention support"
- help
- This option provides support for retaining authentication tokens and
- access keys in the kernel.
-
- It also includes provision of methods by which such keys might be
- associated with a process so that network filesystems, encryption
- support and the like can find them.
-
- Furthermore, a special type of key is available that acts as keyring:
- a searchable sequence of keys. Each process is equipped with access
- to five standard keyrings: UID-specific, GID-specific, session,
- process and thread.
-
- If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.

help
- This option turns on support for the /proc/keys file - through which
- can be listed all the keys on the system that are viewable by the
- reading process.
-
- The only keys included in the list are those that grant View
- permission to the reading process whether or not it possesses them.
- Note that LSM security checks are still performed, and may further
- filter out keys that the current process is not authorised to view.
+ This enforces restrictions on unprivileged users reading the kernel
+ syslog via dmesg(8).
- Only key attributes are listed here; key payloads are not included in
- the resulting table.
+ If this option is not selected, no restrictions will be enforced
+ unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1).

+config INTEL_TXT
+ bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
+ depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
help
- This is a sample LSM module that should only be used as such.
- It prevents any programs running with egid == 0 if a specific
- USB device is not present in the system.
+ This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
+ Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
+ Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
+ of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
+ will have no effect.
+
+ Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
+ initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
+ create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
+ helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
+ correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
+ of the kernel itself.
+
+ Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
+ confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
+ it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
+ providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
+
+ See <http://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
+ about Intel(R) TXT.
+ See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
+ See Documentation/intel_txt.txt for a description of how to enable
+ Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.

This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
@@ -107,16 +113,59 @@ config SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
- Programs which use vm86 functionality would either need additional
- permissions from either the LSM or the capabilities module or have
- this protection disabled.

- This value can be changed after boot using the
- /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.
