| bool "Verify kernel datastructures at runtime" | |
| help | |
| Selecting this option causes the kernel to validate several | |
| of its datastructures at runtime against a set of programming | |
| rules. | |
| This verification of rules helps kernel developers detect | |
| problems early, but also detects some types of corruption | |
| caused by kernel bugs or sometimes, malicious software. | |
| Care is taken for these checks to only have negliable performance | |
| impact. | |
