The Kconfig text for CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB and CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC have always seemed a bit confusing. Change them to: CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB: "Debug slab memory allocations" CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC: "Debug page memory allocations" Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each

task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.

This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

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.

help

If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
|
|
and slower, but 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 pointers.
