Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

help
|
|
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.

|

help
|
|
If you say Y here the kernel will use the Meta hardware trace
|
|
unit to output information about function entry and exit that
|
|
can be used by a debugger for profiling and call-graphs.

help

If you say Y here the kernel will write poison data to the
|
|
catch buffer registers on kernel entry. This will make any
|
|
problem with catch buffer handling much more apparent.
