drops below a certain limit.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
|
|
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|
|
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".

Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each

task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

intending to debug the kernel, say N here.

config XMON

bool "Include xmon kernel debugger"

help
|
|
Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.
|
|
Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.
|
|
Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise
|
|
nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the
|
|
framebuffer memory).
|
|
The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon very
|
|
early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon debugger hooks.
|
|
'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set.
|

config XMON_DEFAULT
|

bool "Enable xmon by default"

depends on XMON
|

help
|

xmon is normally disabled unless booted with 'xmon=on'.
|

Use 'xmon=off' to disable xmon init during runtime.

bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts"
|

help
|
|
If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks
|
|
for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid
|
|
overflowing the process kernel stacks.
