 | 27 | 	  the performance is not affected. Currently, this feature |

 | 33 | 	  When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can | 
 | 34 | 	  print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is | 
 | 35 | 	  sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a | 
 | 36 | 	  production system. Most people should say N here. | 
 | 37 |  | 
 | 38 | 	  In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command | 
 | 39 | 	  line to enable this feature.  N consists of the sum of: | 
 | 40 |  | 
 | 41 | 	      1 - undefined instruction events | 
 | 42 | 	      2 - system calls | 
 | 43 | 	      4 - invalid data aborts |
