- help
- If you say Y here and the compiler supports the -mkernel-backchain
- option the kernel will use a smaller kernel stack size. The reduced
- size is 8kb instead of 16kb. This allows to run more threads on a
- system and reduces the pressure on the memory management for higher
- order page allocations.
