Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

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.

If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and

that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
