- Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
- task has ever had available in the sysrq-T output.
+ If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all

- help
- Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
- earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] kernel parameter. It
- is assumed that the early console device has been initialised
- by the boot loader prior to starting the Linux kernel.
+ If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
+ userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.

+ If in doubt, say Y.
