9 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
10 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
11 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
12 be used by people debugging the kernel.
13
14 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
15 userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.

38 This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel
39 using the information automatically generated by the

51 help
52 When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
53 print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
54 sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
55 production system. Most people should say N here.
56
57 In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
58 line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of:
59
60 1 - undefined instruction events
61 2 - system calls
62 4 - invalid data aborts
63 8 - SIGSEGV faults
64 16 - SIGBUS faults

76 UART definition, as specified below. Attempting to boot the kernel
77 image on a different platform *will not work*, so this option should
78 not be enabled for kernels that are intended to be portable.
