  DEBUG_STACK_USAGE doesn't only have an influence on the output of
sysrq-T and sysrq-P, it also enables a message at process exit. See
check_stack_usage() in kernel/exit.c where this is implemented.

 	help
 	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
 	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
+	  Also emits a message to dmesg when a process exits if that process
+	  used more stack space than previously exiting processes.
 
 	  This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
