| config STRICT_DEVMEM |
| bool "Filter access to /dev/mem" |
| depends on MMU |
| ---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 |
| # traces, you can get a slightly smaller kernel by setting this option to |

| help |
| 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. |

| config ARM_UNWIND |
| bool "Enable stack unwinding support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL |
| default y |
| 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. |

| 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 |
| |
| # These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty. |

| help |
| Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex |
| in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that |
| executes before the console is initialized. |
| |
| Note that selecting this option will limit the kernel to a single |
| UART definition, as specified below. Attempting to boot the kernel |
| image on a different platform *will not work*, so this option should |
| not be enabled for kernels that are intended to be portable. |
