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 config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
38 bool "Debug page memory allocations"
39 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
41 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
42 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
43 of memory corruptions.
45 config DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
46 bool "Debug access to per_cpu maps"
47 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
51 Say Y to verify that the per_cpu map being accessed has
52 been setup. Adds a fair amount of code to kernel memory
53 and decreases performance.
58 bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
60 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
62 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
63 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
64 data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
67 config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
68 bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
69 depends on DEBUG_RODATA
71 This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
72 feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
76 tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
77 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
79 This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
80 and the software setup of this feature.
84 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
85 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
88 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
89 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
90 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
91 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
92 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
94 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG
96 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
101 depends on (X86_32 && (X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS)) || X86_64
105 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
108 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
109 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
110 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
114 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
115 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
118 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
119 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
120 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
121 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
122 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
123 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
124 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
125 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
126 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
130 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
131 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
132 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
134 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
135 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
141 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_0X80
145 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_0XED
149 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_UDELAY
153 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
158 prompt "IO delay type"
159 default IO_DELAY_0X80
162 bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
164 This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
165 It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
168 bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
170 Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
171 often used as a hardware-debug port.
173 config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
174 bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
176 Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
177 while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
180 bool "no port-IO delay"
182 No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
183 delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.
188 config DEFAULT_IO_DELAY_TYPE
190 default IO_DELAY_TYPE_0X80

208 default IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
211 config DEBUG_BOOT_PARAMS
212 bool "Debug boot parameters"
213 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
216 This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.
219 bool "CPA self-test code"
220 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
222 Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.
