Help text

If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger and slower, but it gives very useful debugging information in case of kernel bugs. (precise oopses/stacktraces/warnings)

Compile the kernel with frame pointers. This may help for some debugging with external debuggers. Note the standard oops backtracer doesn't make use of this and the x86-64 kernel doesn't ensure an consistent frame pointer through inline assembly (semaphores etc.) Normally you should say N.
