12 Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub
13 package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS)
14 in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during
15 boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and
16 write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an
17 on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware). Note this
18 does not work with machines with an existing operating system in
19 mask ROM and no flash (WindowsCE machines fall in this category).
20 If unsure, say N.

26 This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space
Paul Mundt9f14b842009-07-11 20:05:34 +090027 drops below a certain limit. Saying Y here will add overhead to
28 every function call and will therefore incur a major
29 performance hit. Most users should say N.

34 help
35 Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
36 task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
37
38 This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

Paul Mundtb817f7e2008-09-20 20:16:35 +090042 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && (MMU || BROKEN) && !PAGE_SIZE_64KB
Paul Mundta6a311392006-09-27 18:22:14 +090043 help
44 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
45 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
46 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
47 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
48 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

Paul Mundt110ed282007-11-02 12:16:51 +090053 help
54 If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks
55 for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid
56 overflowing the process kernel stacks.

61 default y if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
62 default n
63 help
64 This prints out a code trace of the instructions leading up to
65 the faulting instruction as a debugging aid. As this does grow
66 the kernel in size a bit, most users will want to say N here.
67
68 Those looking for more verbose debugging output should say Y.

75 Enabling this option will make stacktraces more accurate, at
76 the cost of an increase in overall kernel size.

80 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
81 default n
82 help
83 If running in painfully slow environments, such as an RTL
84 simulation or from remote memory via SHdebug, where the memory
85 can already be gauranteed to ber zeroed on boot, say Y.
86
87 For all other cases, say N. If this option seems perplexing, or
88 you aren't sure, say N.
