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 && !HIBERNATION && !HUGETLBFS
46 Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
47 This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
48 of memory corruptions.
50 config DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
51 bool "Debug access to per_cpu maps"
52 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
56 Say Y to verify that the per_cpu map being accessed has
57 been setup. Adds a fair amount of code to kernel memory
58 and decreases performance.
63 bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
65 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
67 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
68 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
69 data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
73 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
74 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
77 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
78 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
79 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
80 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
81 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
83 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG
85 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
90 depends on (X86_32 && (X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS)) || X86_64
94 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
97 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
98 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
99 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
103 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
104 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
107 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
108 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
109 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
110 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
111 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
112 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
113 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
114 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
115 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
119 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
120 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
121 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
123 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
124 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

138 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_UDELAY
142 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
147 prompt "IO delay type"
148 default IO_DELAY_0XED
151 bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
153 This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
154 It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
157 bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
159 Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
160 often used as a hardware-debug port.
162 config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
163 bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
165 Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
166 while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
169 bool "no port-IO delay"
171 No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
172 delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

201 bool "Debug boot parameters"
202 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
205 This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.

210 Do change_page_attr self tests at boot.
