print-fatal-signals=
[KNL] debug: print fatal signals
- print-fatal-signals=1: print segfault info to
- the kernel console.
+
+ If enabled, warn about various signal handling
+ related application anomalies: too many signals,
+ too many POSIX.1 timers, fatal signals causing a
+ coredump - etc.
+
+ If you hit the warning due to signal overflow,
+ you might want to try "ulimit -i unlimited".
+
default: off.
printk.time= Show timing data prefixed to each printk message line
