5 # RMK wants arm kernels compiled with frame pointers so hardwire this to y.
6 # If you know what you are doing and are willing to live without stack
7 # traces, you can get a slightly smaller kernel by setting this option to
8 # n, but then RMK will have to kill you ;).
13 If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
14 faster. However, when a problem occurs with the kernel, the
15 information that is reported is severely limited. Most people
19 bool "Verbose user fault messages"
21 When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
22 print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
23 sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
24 production system. Most people should say N here.
26 In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
27 line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of:
29 1 - undefined instruction events
31 4 - invalid data aborts
36 bool "Verbose kernel error messages"
37 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
39 This option controls verbose debugging information which can be
40 printed when the kernel detects an internal error. This debugging
41 information is useful to kernel hackers when tracking down problems,
42 but mostly meaningless to other people. It's safe to say Y unless
43 you are concerned with the code size or don't want to see these
47 # These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty.
49 bool "Kernel low-level debugging functions"
50 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
52 Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex
53 in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that
54 executes before the console is initialized.
57 bool "Kernel low-level debugging via EmbeddedICE DCC channel"
60 Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
61 output to the EmbeddedICE macrocell's DCC channel using
62 co-processor 14. This is known to work on the ARM9 style ICE
65 It does include a timeout to ensure that the system does not
66 totally freeze when there is nothing connected to read.
68 config DEBUG_DC21285_PORT
69 bool "Kernel low-level debugging messages via footbridge serial port"
70 depends on DEBUG_LL && FOOTBRIDGE
72 Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
73 output to the serial port in the DC21285 (Footbridge). Saying N
74 will cause the debug messages to appear on the first 16550
77 config DEBUG_CLPS711X_UART2
78 bool "Kernel low-level debugging messages via UART2"
79 depends on DEBUG_LL && ARCH_CLPS711X
81 Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
82 output to the second serial port on these devices. Saying N will
83 cause the debug messages to appear on the first serial port.
85 config DEBUG_S3C2410_PORT
86 depends on DEBUG_LL && ARCH_S3C2410
87 bool "Kernel low-level debugging messages via S3C2410 UART"
89 Say Y here if you want debug print routines to go to one of the
90 S3C2410 internal UARTs. The chosen UART must have been configured
93 config DEBUG_S3C2410_UART
94 depends on ARCH_S3C2410
95 int "S3C2410 UART to use for low-level debug"
98 Choice for UART for kernel low-level using S3C2410 UARTS,
99 should be between zero and two. The port must have been
100 initialised by the boot-loader before use.
102 The uncompressor code port configuration is now handled
103 by CONFIG_S3C2410_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT.
