This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
|
|
|
|
|
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
|
|
|
|
|
it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
|
|
|
|
|
with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
|
|
|
|
|
unless you want to debug such a crash.

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".

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

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().

This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
|

|
of memory corruptions.

If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
|
|
|
|
|
running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
|
|
|
|
|
on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
|
|
|
|
|
will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
