+ Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
+ port.
+
+ This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+ early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
+ it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
+ with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
+ unless you want to debug such a crash.

+ bool "Check for stack overflows"

+config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+ bool "Page alloc debugging"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
+ This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
+ of memory corruptions.
+
+config GDBSTUB
+ bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ select DEBUG_INFO
+ select FRAME_POINTER
+ help
+ If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel
+ using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several
+ megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB
+ RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel
+ hackers. If unsure, say N.

+ depends on GDBSTUB
+ help
+ If you say Y here, GDB stub will break into the program as soon as
+ possible, leaving the program counter at the beginning of
+ start_kernel() in init/main.c.
+
+config GDB_CONSOLE
+ bool "Console output to GDB"
+ depends on GDBSTUB
+ help
+ If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
+ would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
+ that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
