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.

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:

61 2 - system calls
62 4 - invalid data aborts

435 Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
436 kernel low-level debugging functions. Add earlyprintk to your
437 kernel parameters to enable this console.

454 bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
455 depends on CPU_COPY_V6
456 help
457 Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
458 the PROCID field of the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some
459 additional instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you
460 are planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
