+config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
+ bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
+ default y if X86
+ help
+ Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
+ that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
+ option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
+ some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
+ encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
+ using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
+ this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
+ wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
+ mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
+ you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
+ your module is.

If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
will detect preemption count underflows.

config DEBUG_SPINLOCK
bool "Spinlock debugging"
If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very
noisy if they are called with a spinlock held.
+config DEBUG_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS
+ bool "Locking API boot-time self-tests"

+ help
+ Say Y here if you want the kernel to run a short self-test during
+ bootup. The self-test checks whether common types of locking bugs
+ are detected by debugging mechanisms or not. (if you disable
+ lock debugging then those bugs wont be detected of course.)
+ The following locking APIs are covered: spinlocks, rwlocks,
+ mutexes and rwsems.

If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
but not slower, and it will give very useful debugging information.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
to solve problems without frame unwind information or frame pointers.
