+	help
+	  This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory
+	  to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value.
+	  Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and
+	  will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory
+	  thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected).
+
+	  The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable
+	  or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with
+	  kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred.

+	help
+	  Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since
+	  errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a
+	  temporary storage area which is guarantueed not to generate any
+	  other faults. The queue will be emptied as soon as a tasklet may
+	  be scheduled. If the queue is full, new error reports will be

+	  Select the number of shadow bytes to save along with each entry of
+	  the queue. These bytes indicate what parts of an allocation are
+	  initialized, uninitialized, etc. and will be displayed when an

+
+config KMEMCHECK_PARTIAL_OK
+	bool "kmemcheck: allow partially uninitialized memory"

+	default y
+	help
+	  This option works around certain GCC optimizations that produce
+	  32-bit reads from 16-bit variables where the upper 16 bits are
+	  thrown away afterwards. This may of course also hide some real
+	  bugs.

+config KMEMCHECK_BITOPS_OK

+	help
+	  This option silences warnings that would be generated for bit-field
+	  accesses where not all the bits are initialized at the same time.
+	  This may also hide some real bugs.
