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 && X86_32
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.
71 config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
72 bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
73 depends on DEBUG_RODATA
75 This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
76 feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
80 tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
81 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
83 This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
84 and the software setup of this feature.
88 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
89 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
92 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
93 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
94 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
95 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
96 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
98 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG

105 depends on (X86_32 && (X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS)) || X86_64
109 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
112 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
113 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
114 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
118 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
119 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
122 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
123 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
124 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
125 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
126 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
127 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
128 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
129 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
130 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
134 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
135 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
136 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
138 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
139 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

157 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
162 prompt "IO delay type"
163 default IO_DELAY_0XED
166 bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
168 This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
169 It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
172 bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
174 Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
175 often used as a hardware-debug port.
177 config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
178 bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
180 Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
181 while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
184 bool "no port-IO delay"
186 No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
187 delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

224 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
226 Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.
