3 config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
6 source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
9 bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED
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
45 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
46 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
47 of memory corruptions.
49 config DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
50 bool "Debug access to per_cpu maps"
51 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
55 Say Y to verify that the per_cpu map being accessed has
56 been setup. Adds a fair amount of code to kernel memory
57 and decreases performance.
62 bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
64 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
66 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
67 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
68 data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
72 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
73 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
76 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
77 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
78 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
79 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
80 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
82 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG
84 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
89 depends on (X86_32 && (X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS)) || X86_64
93 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
96 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
97 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
98 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
102 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
103 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
106 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
107 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
108 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
109 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
110 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
111 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
112 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
113 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
114 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
118 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
119 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
120 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
122 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
123 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

137 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_UDELAY
141 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
146 prompt "IO delay type"
147 default IO_DELAY_0XED
150 bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
152 This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
153 It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
156 bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
158 Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
159 often used as a hardware-debug port.
161 config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
162 bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
164 Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
165 while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
168 bool "no port-IO delay"
170 No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
171 delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

200 bool "Debug boot parameters"
201 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
204 This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.

209 Do change_page_attr self tests at boot.
