   9           If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
  10           of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
  11           access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
  12           be used by people debugging the kernel.
  13
  14           If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
  15           userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.

  28           If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
  29           faster. However, if neither FRAME_POINTER nor ARM_UNWIND are enabled,
  30           when a problem occurs with the kernel, the information that is

  52           When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
  53           print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
  54           sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
  55           production system. Most people should say N here.
  56
  57           In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
  58           line to enable this feature.  N consists of the sum of:
  59
  60               1 - undefined instruction events
  61               2 - system calls
  62               4 - invalid data aborts
  63               8 - SIGSEGV faults

  74
  75           Note that selecting this option will limit the kernel to a single
  76           UART definition, as specified below. Attempting to boot the kernel
  77           image on a different platform *will not work*, so this option should
  78           not be enabled for kernels that are intended to be portable.

 317                   below. This relies on your platform choosing the right UART
 318                   definition internally in order for low-level debugging to
 319                   work.

 324                   Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct
 325                   their output to the EmbeddedICE macrocell's DCC channel using
 326                   co-processor 14. This is known to work on the ARM9 style ICE
 327                   channel and on the XScale with the PEEDI.

 335                   Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use
 336                   the I/O facilities on a host debugger/emulator through a
 337                   simple SVC calls. The host debugger or emulator must have
 338                   semihosting enabled for the special svc call to be trapped
 339                   otherwise the kernel will crash.
