| access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can | |

| This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel | |

| help | |
| When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can | |
| print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is | |
| sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a | |
| production system. Most people should say N here. | |
| In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command | |
| line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of: | |
| 1 - undefined instruction events | |
| 2 - system calls | |
| 4 - invalid data aborts | |
| 8 - SIGSEGV faults | |
| 16 - SIGBUS faults | |
