Operations which write to memory and special purpose registers should be restricted on systems with integrity guarantees (such as Secure Boot) and, optionally, to avoid self-destructive behaviors. Add a config option, XMON_DEFAULT_RO_MODE, to set default xmon behavior. The kernel cmdline options xmon=ro and xmon=rw override this default. The following xmon operations are affected: memops: disable memmove disable memset disable memzcan memex: no-op'd mwrite super_regs: no-op'd write_spr bpt_cmds: disable proc_call: disable Signed-off-by: Christopher M.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
