It is kernel-wide policy that options depending on EXPERIMENTAL should also have '(EXPERIMENTAL)' in their option text, and options with '(EXPERIMENTAL)' depend on EXPERIMENTAL. Ensure that all ARM options comply with this. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

---help---
|

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

If in doubt, say Y.

If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and

faster. However, if neither FRAME_POINTER nor ARM_UNWIND are enabled,
|
|
when a problem occurs with the kernel, the information that is
|
|
reported is severely limited.

This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel
|
|
using the information automatically generated by the
|
|
compiler. The resulting kernel image is slightly bigger but
|
|
the performance is not affected. Currently, this feature
|
|
only works with EABI compilers. If unsure say Y.

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

This option controls verbose debugging information which can be

|
printed when the kernel detects an internal error. This debugging
|
|
information is useful to kernel hackers when tracking down problems,
|
|
but mostly meaningless to other people. It's safe to say Y unless
|
|
you are concerned with the code size or don't want to see these

|
messages.
