config PRINTK_TIME
        bool "Show timing information on printks"
        depends on PRINTK
        help
          Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
          messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
          call and at the console.

          The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
          to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
          be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

          The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
          parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
        int "Default message log level (1-7)"
        range 1 7
        default "4"
        help
          Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.

          This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
          that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
          priority.

config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
        bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
        depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
        help
          This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
          by inserting a short delay after each one.  The delay is
          specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
          using "boot_delay=N".

          It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
          the "loops per jiffie" value.
          See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
          system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
          NOTE:  Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
          I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
          BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
          what it believes to be lockup conditions.

config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
        bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
        default n
        depends on PRINTK
        depends on DEBUG_FS
        help

          Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
          otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
          enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
          function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
          implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
          enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.

          If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
          pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
          disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
          turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

          Usage:

          Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
          which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
          filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
          We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
          file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
          format for each line of the file is:

                filename:lineno [module]function flags format

          filename : source file of the debug statement
          lineno : line number of the debug statement
          module : module that contains the debug statement
          function : function that contains the debug statement
          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
          format : the format used for the debug statement

          From a live system:

                nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
                # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
                fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
                fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
                fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"

          Example usage:

                // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
                nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
                                                <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

                // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
                nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
                                                <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

                // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
                nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
                                                <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

                // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
                nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
                                                <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

                // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
                nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
                                                <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

        help
          If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
          debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
          This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
          is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
          tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.
          Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.

          If unsure, say N.

config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
        bool "Reduce debugging information"
        depends on DEBUG_INFO
        help
          If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
          information for structure types. This means that tools that
          need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
          be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
          resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
          build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
          DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
          Only works with newer gcc versions.

config DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
        bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
        depends on DEBUG_INFO
        help
          Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
          reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
          because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
          files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
          In addition the debug information is also compressed.

          Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
          Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
          to know about the .dwo files and include them.
          Incompatible with older versions of ccache.

config DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4
        bool "Generate dwarf4 debuginfo"
        depends on DEBUG_INFO
        help
          Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
          of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.
          But it significantly improves the success of resolving
          variables in gdb on optimized code.

config GDB_SCRIPTS
        bool "Provide GDB scripts for kernel debugging"
        depends on DEBUG_INFO
        help
          This creates the required links to GDB helper scripts in the
          build directory. If you load vmlinux into gdb, the helper
          scripts will be automatically imported by gdb as well, and
          additional functions are available to analyze a Linux kernel
          instance. See Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt for further
          details.

config ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED

          Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
          Setting it to 0 disables the warning.

          get_wchan() and suchlike.

config READABLE_ASM
        bool "Generate readable assembler code"
        depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
        help
          Disable some compiler optimizations that tend to generate human unreadable
          assembler output. This may make the kernel slightly slower, but it helps
          to keep kernel developers who have to stare a lot at assembler listings
          sane.

config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
        bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
        default y if X86
        help
          Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
          that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
          option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
          some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
          encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
          using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
          this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
          wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
          mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
          you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
          your module is.

          help to find bare alloc_page(s) leaks. Even if you include this
          feature on your build, it is disabled in default. You should pass
          "page_owner=on" to boot parameter in order to enable it. Eats
          a fair amount of memory if enabled. See tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c

          debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
          debugging files into.  Enable this option to be able to read and
          write to these files.

config HEADERS_CHECK
        bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"

          This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
          building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
          ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
          were not exported, etc.

          If you're making modifications to header files which are
          relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
          exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
          your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.

config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
        bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
        help
          The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
          references from one section to another section.
          During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
          any use of code/data previously in these sections would
          most likely result in an oops.
          In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
          __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
          which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
          The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
          kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
          additional steps to occur:
          - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
            When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
            function, we would lose the section information and thus
            the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
            This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
            a larger kernel).
          - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
            When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
            lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
            introduced.
            Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
            tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
            source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
            reported at least twice.
          - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
            the section mismatches that are reported.

          Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
          detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
          similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
          difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
          only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
          feature will introduce an overhead to memory
          allocations. See Documentation/kmemleak.txt for more
          details.

          Enabling DEBUG_SLAB or SLUB_DEBUG may increase the chances
          of finding leaks due to the slab objects poisoning.

          Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
          mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
          chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon
          detection and the system will stay locked up.

          Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
          for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
          chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
          and the system will stay locked up.

          The overhead should be minimal.  A periodic hrtimer runs to
          generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
          An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.

         This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
         that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
         correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
         not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
         sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
         arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
         deadlock.

         In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
         related deadlocks before they actually occur.

         The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
         deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
         participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
         for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
         timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
         theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
         is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
         reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
         makes the deadlock theoretically possible).

         If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
         observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
         kernel reports nothing.

         NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
         and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
         different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
         the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
         arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

         This also enables lock events required by "perf lock",
         subcommand of perf.
         If you want to use "perf lock", you also need to turn on
         CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING.

         CONFIG_LOCK_STAT defines "contended" and "acquired" lock events.
         (CONFIG_LOCKDEP defines "acquire" and "release" events.)

          kobjects are reference counted objects.  This means that their
          last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
          live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
          initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation.  An
          example of this would be a struct device which has just been
          unregistered.

          However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
          the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed.  This
          goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.

          If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
          on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
          kind of kobject release bug.

          see that this number never exceeds the usage count of the cred
          struct.

          Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
          copy operations into compile time failures.

          The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
          are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
          the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
          within bounds.

config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
        bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
        depends on PCI && X86
        help
          If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
          on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
          this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
          over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
          specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.

          With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
          firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
          Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

          Usage:

          If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
          all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.

          As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
          devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
          devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
          the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.

          This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
          in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

          See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

config DMA_API_DEBUG

        depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
        help
          Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
          With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
          drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
          were never allocated.

          This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
          accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption.  For
          example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
          not undergoing DMA.

          This option causes a performance degradation.  Use only if you want to
          debug device drivers and dma interactions.

          This builds the "test_module" module that emits "Hello, world"
          on printk when loaded. It is designed to be used for basic
          evaluation of the module loading subsystem (for example when
          validating module verification). It lacks any extra dependencies,
          and will not normally be loaded by the system unless explicitly

          on the copy_to/from_user infrastructure, making sure basic
          user/kernel boundary testing is working. If it fails to load,
          a regression has been detected in the user/kernel memory boundary
          protections.

          against the BPF interpreter or BPF JIT compiler depending on the
          current setting. This is in particular useful for BPF JIT compiler
          development, but also to run regression tests against changes in
          the interpreter code. It also enables test stubs for eBPF maps and
