+config S390_SWITCH_AMODE
+ bool "Switch kernel/user addressing modes"
+ help
+ This option allows to switch the addressing modes of kernel and user
+ space. The kernel parameter switch_amode=on will enable this feature,
+ default is disabled. Enabling this (via kernel parameter) on machines
+ earlier than IBM System z9-109 EC/BC will reduce system performance.

+ Note that this option will also be selected by selecting the execute
+ protection option below. Enabling the execute protection via the
+ noexec kernel parameter will also switch the addressing modes,
+ independent of the switch_amode kernel parameter.
