3 config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
6 source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
9 bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED && DEBUG_KERNEL && X86_32
12 Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
15 This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
16 early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
17 it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
18 with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
19 unless you want to debug such a crash.
21 config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
22 bool "Check for stack overflows"
23 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
25 This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space
26 drops below a certain limit.
28 config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
29 bool "Stack utilization instrumentation"
30 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
32 Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
33 task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
35 This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
37 comment "Page alloc debug is incompatible with Software Suspend on i386"
38 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && HIBERNATION
41 config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
42 bool "Debug page memory allocations"
43 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !HIBERNATION && !HUGETLBFS
46 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
47 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
48 of memory corruptions.
51 bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
52 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
54 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
55 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
56 data. This option may have a slight performance impact because a
57 portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore.
61 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
62 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
65 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
66 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
67 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
68 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
69 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
71 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG
73 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
78 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS
83 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
86 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
87 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
88 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
92 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
93 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
96 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
97 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
98 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
99 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
100 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
101 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
102 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
103 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
104 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
108 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
109 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
110 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
112 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
113 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
