+	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect
+	  hard and soft lockups.
+
+	  Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
+	  mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
+	  chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon
+	  detection and the system will stay locked up.
+
+	  Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
+	  for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
+	  chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
+	  and the system will stay locked up.
+
+	  The overhead should be minimal.  A periodic hrtimer runs to
+	  generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
+	  An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
+
+	  The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
+	  thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.

+	help
+	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "hung tasks",
+	  which are bugs that cause the task to be stuck in
+	  uninterruptible "D" state indefinitely.
+
+	  When a hung task is detected, the kernel will print the
+	  current stack trace (which you should report), but the
+	  task will stay in uninterruptible state. If lockdep is
+	  enabled then all held locks will also be reported. This
+	  feature has negligible overhead.

+	  item for over a given amount of time, 30s by default, a

+	  If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very

+	  held, inside an rcu read side critical section, inside preempt disabled
+	  sections, inside an interrupt, etc...
