This alphabetti spaghetti of boot flags is getting ridiculous, there seems to be no central list anywhere, just random snippets across the web. Why is there not a Linus rant when you really need one? :-(
- rwmj 8y agoTo be fair there is a list, although as you say the flags themselves are pretty random. Of course they can't be easily changed because that would break everyone's boot environment. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/...
- crustycoder 8y agoUnfortunately that list seems to be incomplete, for example nospec_store_bypass_disable or stf_barrier
- opsroller 8y agolsmod modinfo ${somemodule} man lsmod man modinfo This is elementary level linux, you should know this.

- crustycoder 8y agoThat's module flags, not kernel ones. Idiot.
