5config FRAME_POINTER
6	bool
7	default y

9config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
10	bool "Enable stack utilization instrumentation"
11	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
12	help
13	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
14	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T output.
15
16config STRICT_DEVMEM
17	bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
18	depends on MMU
19	help
20	  If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
21	  of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
22	  access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
23	  be used by people debugging the kernel.
24
25	  If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
26	  userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
27
28	  If in doubt, say Y.
29
30config EARLY_PRINTK
31	bool "Early printk support"
32	default y
33	help
34	  Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
35	  earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] kernel parameter. It
36	  is assumed that the early console device has been initialised
37	  by the boot loader prior to starting the Linux kernel.
38
39config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
40	bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
41	help
42	  Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
43	  the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
44	  instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
45	  planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
