| bool "Kprobes" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| 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". |

| config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE |
| bool "Stack utilization instrumentation" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| 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. |

| bool "Enable debugger hooks" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| Include in-kernel hooks for kernel debuggers. Unless you are |
| intending to debug the kernel, say N here. |

| 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. |
