The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during + boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and + write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an + on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware).

Saying Y here will add overhead to + every function call and will therefore incur a major + performance hit. Most users should say N. + +config EARLY_PRINTK + bool "Early printk" + depends on SH_STANDARD_BIOS + help + Say Y here to redirect kernel printk messages to the serial port + used by the SH-IPL bootloader, starting very early in the boot + process and ending when the kernel's serial console is initialised. + This option is only useful while porting the kernel to a new machine, + when the kernel may crash or hang before the serial console is + initialised.

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. + +config IRQSTACKS + bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && BROKEN + help + If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks + for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid + overflowing the process kernel stacks. + +config DUMP_CODE + bool "Show disassembly of nearby code in register dumps" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL + default y if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE + default n + help + This prints out a code trace of the instructions leading up to + the faulting instruction as a debugging aid.
