9 | Write kernel log output directly via the hypervisor console. | |

11 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | |
12 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation | |
13 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate | |
14 | with klogd/syslogd. You should normally N here, | |
15 | unless you want to debug such a crash. | |

22 | Debug info can be large, and flags like | |
23 | `-femit-struct-debug-baseonly' can reduce the kernel file | |
24 | size and build time noticeably. Such flags are often | |
25 | helpful if the main use of debug info is line number info. | |
