- If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
- if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
- will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
- immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
- by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
- also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
- send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
- keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
- unless you really know what this hack does.

- If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
- debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
- Say Y here only if you plan to use gdb to debug the kernel.
- If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
