In early 2.6 days stack utilization instrumentation was made configurable. Seems that arm misses the DEBUG_STACK_USAGE option. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
|
|
faster. However, when a problem occurs with the kernel, the
|
|
information that is reported is severely limited. Most people
|
|
should say Y here.

config DEBUG_USER

|
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 to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex

help
|

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.
|
|

It does include a timeout to ensure that the system does not
|
|
totally freeze when there is nothing connected to read.

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

output to the serial port in the DC21285 (Footbridge). Saying N

Choice for UART for kernel low-level using S3C UARTS,

The uncompressor code port configuration is now handled

by CONFIG_S3C_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT.
