The /dev/mem file by default only allows userspace access to PCI
space and the BIOS code and data regions. This is sufficient for
dosemu and X and all common users of /dev/mem. With this config
option, you allow userspace access to all of memory, including
kernel and userspace memory. Accidental access to this is
obviously disasterous, but specific access can be used by people
debugging the kernel.
If this option is left off, you allow userspace 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 PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
/dev/mem.
If in doubt, say Y.
