The closest thing is in the Linux source tree,
linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. That's pretty close, but
because it's manually edited, it might not have exactly the latest
available options.
For any kernel modules with parameters, modinfo will tell you what
they are and a brief description of each. I looked into doing the
same for the kernel proper, but there wasn't a burning need for it,
and it slipped to the bottom of my todo pile. One addition to the
kernel that would be needed is akin to the MODULE_PARM_DESC() tags for
kernel setup options that aren't modular; adding those everywhere
would be a lot of work, but wouldn't be that hard, just tedious.
Thanks,
Matt
