7 bool "Use LinuxSH standard BIOS"
8 help
9 Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub
10 package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS)
11 in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during
12 boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and
13 write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an
14 on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware). Note this
15 does not work with machines with an existing operating system in
16 mask ROM and no flash (WindowsCE machines fall in this category).
17 If unsure, say N.

Paul Mundt9f14b842009-07-11 20:05:34 +090024 drops below a certain limit. Saying Y here will add overhead to
25 every function call and will therefore incur a major
26 performance hit. Most users should say N.

Paul Mundta6a311392006-09-27 18:22:14 +090031 help
32 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
33 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
34 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
35 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
36 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

Paul Mundt110ed282007-11-02 12:16:51 +090041 help
42 If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks
43 for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid
44 overflowing the process kernel stacks.

52 This prints out a code trace of the instructions leading up to
53 the faulting instruction as a debugging aid. As this does grow
54 the kernel in size a bit, most users will want to say N here.

56 Those looking for more verbose debugging output should say Y.
