This is a relatively cheap check but if you care about maximum
performance, say N.
+config DEBUG_CREDENTIALS
+ bool "Debug credential management"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ Enable this to turn on some debug checking for credential
+ management. The additional code keeps track of the number of
+ pointers from task_structs to any given cred struct, and checks to
+ see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred
+ struct.
+
+ Furthermore, if SELinux is enabled, this also checks that the
+ security pointer in the cred struct is never seen to be invalid.
+
+ If unsure, say N.

# Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig, if it
# it is preferred to always offer frame pointers as a config
