---help---
|

If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
|
|
of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
|
|
access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
|
|
be used by people debugging the kernel.
|
|
|
|
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
|
|
userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say Y.

# RMK wants arm kernels compiled with frame pointers or stack unwinding.

# If you know what you are doing and are willing to live without stack

# n, but then RMK will have to kill you ;).

|

If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
|
|
faster. However, if neither FRAME_POINTER nor ARM_UNWIND are enabled,
|
|
when a problem occurs with the kernel, the information that is
|
|
reported is severely limited.

help
|
|
This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel
|
|
using the information automatically generated by the
|
|
compiler. The resulting kernel image is slightly bigger but
|
|
the performance is not affected. Currently, this feature
|
|
only works with EABI compilers. If unsure say Y.

bool "Verbose user fault messages"
|
|
help
|
|
When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
|
|
print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
|
|
sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
|
|
production system. Most people should say N here.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
|
|
line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of:
|
|
|
|
1 - undefined instruction events
|
|
2 - system calls
|
|
4 - invalid data aborts
|
|
8 - SIGSEGV faults
|
|
16 - SIGBUS faults

|
|
help
|
|
This option controls verbose debugging information which can be
|
|
printed when the kernel detects an internal error. This debugging
|
|
information is useful to kernel hackers when tracking down problems,
|
|
but mostly meaningless to other people. It's safe to say Y unless
|
|
you are concerned with the code size or don't want to see these
|
|
messages.

Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their

output to the EmbeddedICE macrocell's DCC channel using
|
|
co-processor 14. This is known to work on the ARM9 style ICE
|
|
channel and on the XScale with the PEEDI.

totally freeze when there is nothing connected to read.

Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
