+ default y
+ help
+ Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
+ which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
+ mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
+ chance to run.
+
+ When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
+ current stack trace (which you should report), but the
+ system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
+ overhead.
+
+ (Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
+ can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
+ support it.)
