-config MAGIC_SYSRQ
- bool "Magic SysRq key"
- help
- 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.

-config DEBUG_SPINLOCK
- bool "Spinlock debugging"
- help
- Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
- and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made. This is
- best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
- deadlocks are also debuggable.
-
-config SH_STANDARD_BIOS
- bool "Use LinuxSH standard BIOS"
- help
- Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub
- package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS)
- in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during
- boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and
- write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an
- on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware). Note this
- does not work with machines with an existing operating system in
- mask ROM and no flash (WindowsCE machines fall in this category).
- If unsure, say N.

-config SH_EARLY_PRINTK
- bool "Early printk support"
- depends on SH_STANDARD_BIOS
