           This is a relatively cheap check but if you care about maximum
           performance, say N.

+          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.
