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 "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
59 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
62 Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
63 debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
64 who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
65 It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
70 bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
72 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
74 Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
75 in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
76 data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
80 bool "Enable gbpages-mapped kernel pagetables"
81 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERIMENTAL && X86_64
83 Enable gigabyte pages support (if the CPU supports it). This can
84 improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit by reducing TLB
87 This is experimental code.
91 config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
92 bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
93 depends on DEBUG_RODATA
95 This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
96 feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
100 tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
101 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
103 This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
104 and the software setup of this feature.
108 bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
112 If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
113 kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
114 running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
115 on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
116 will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.
118 config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG
120 depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
125 depends on (X86_32 && (X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS)) || X86_64
129 bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
132 This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
133 would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
134 option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
138 bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
139 depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
142 Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
143 memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
144 allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
145 time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
146 list merging. Currently not recommended for production
147 code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
148 IOMMU/AGP aperture. Most of the options enabled by this can
149 be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
150 options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
154 bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
155 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
156 depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
158 Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
159 are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
165 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_0X80
169 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_0XED
173 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_UDELAY
177 config IO_DELAY_TYPE_NONE
182 prompt "IO delay type"
183 default IO_DELAY_0X80
186 bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
188 This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
189 It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
192 bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
194 Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
195 often used as a hardware-debug port.
197 config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
198 bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
200 Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
201 while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
204 bool "no port-IO delay"
206 No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
207 delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

235 config DEBUG_BOOT_PARAMS
236 bool "Debug boot parameters"
237 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
240 This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.
243 bool "CPA self-test code"
244 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
246 Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.
