[PATCH] CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As a foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this adds a config option
(available to all architectures except IA64 and those where the module
loader might have problems with the resulting relocations) to enable the
generation of frame unwind information.

If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
but not slower, and it will give very useful debugging information.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
to solve problems without frame unwind information or frame pointers.
