- 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
|
