Add generic exit-time stack-depth checking to CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE. This also adds UML support. Tested on UML and i386.

This controls whether arguments in guest processes should be shown on

the host's ps output.

Enabling this option hinders debugging on some recent GDB versions
|
|
(because GDB gets "confused" when we do an execvp()). So probably you
|
|
should disable it.

This option enables a debugging interface which allows gdb to debug
|
|
the kernel without needing to actually attach to kernel threads.

If you want to do kernel debugging, say Y here; otherwise say N.

This allows profiling of a User-Mode Linux kernel with the gprof

|
utility.

See <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/gprof.html> for more
|

details.

If you're involved in UML kernel development and want to use gprof,
|

say Y. If you're unsure, say N.

Track the maximum kernel stack usage - this will look at each
|
|
kernel stack at process exit and log it if it's the deepest
|
|
stack seen so far.
|
|
|
|
This option will slow down process creation and destruction somewhat.
