5 bool "Kernel profiling support"
8 bool "System profiling support"
11 bool "Use kernel GDB debugger"
13 The CRIS version of gdb can be used to remotely debug a running
14 Linux kernel via the serial debug port. Provided you have gdb-cris
15 installed, run gdb-cris vmlinux, then type
17 (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 <- kgdb uses 115200 as default
18 (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 <- maybe you use another port
20 This should connect you to your booted kernel (or boot it now if you
21 didn't before). The kernel halts when it boots, waiting for gdb if
22 this option is turned on!
26 bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
28 If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
29 debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
30 Say Y here only if you plan to use gdb to debug the kernel.
31 If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
34 bool "Compile the kernel with frame pointers"
36 If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
37 and slower, but it will give very useful debugging information.
38 If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
39 to solve problems without frame pointers.
