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

Paul Mundt9f14b842009-07-11 20:05:34 +090021 drops below a certain limit. Saying Y here will add overhead to
22 every function call and will therefore incur a major
23 performance hit. Most users should say N.

Paul Mundta6a311392006-09-27 18:22:14 +090028 help
29 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
30 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
31 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
32 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
33 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

Paul Mundt110ed282007-11-02 12:16:51 +090038 help
39 If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks
40 for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid
41 overflowing the process kernel stacks.

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

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