  4. help
  5. Selecting this option causes timing information to be
  6. included in printk output. This allows you to measure
  7. the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
  8. operations. This is useful for identifying long delays
  9. in kernel startup.

  34. config MAGIC_SYSRQ
  35. bool "Magic SysRq key"
  36. depends on !UML
  37. help
  38. If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
  39. if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
  40. will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
  41. immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
  42. by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
  43. also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
  44. send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
  45. keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
  46. unless you really know what this hack does.
  47. config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
  48. bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
  49. default y if X86
  50. help
  51. Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
  52. that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
  53. option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
  54. some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
  55. encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
  56. using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
  57. this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
  58. wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
  59. mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
  60. you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
  61. your module is.
  62. config DEBUG_FS
  63. bool "Debug Filesystem"
  64. depends on SYSFS
  65. help
  66. debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
  67. debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and
  68. write to these files.
  69. If unsure, say N.
  70. config HEADERS_CHECK
  71. bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"
  72. depends on !UML
  73. help
  74. This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
  75. building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
  76. ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
  77. were not exported, etc.
  78. If you're making modifications to header files which are
  79. relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
  80. exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
  81. your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
  82. config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
  83. bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
  84. depends on UNDEFINED
  85. # This option is on purpose disabled for now.
  86. # It will be enabled when we are down to a resonable number
  87. # of section mismatch warnings (< 10 for an allyesconfig build)
  88. help
  89. The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
  90. references from one section to another section.
  91. Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
  92. and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
  93. most likely result in an oops.
  94. In the code functions and variables are annotated with
  95. __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
  96. which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
  97. The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
  98. kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
  99. do the following:
  100. - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
  101. When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
  102. function we would lose the section information and thus
  103. the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
  104. This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
  105. result in a larger kernel.
  106. - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
  107. When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
  108. lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
  109. introduced.
  110. Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
  111. will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
  112. source. The drawback is that we will report the same
  113. mismatch at least twice.
  114. - Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
  115. the section mismatches reported.
  116. config DEBUG_KERNEL
  117. bool "Kernel debugging"

  121. config DEBUG_SHIRQ
  122. bool "Debug shared IRQ handlers"
  123. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && GENERIC_HARDIRQS
  124. help
  125. Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
  126. interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
  127. Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
  128. points; some don't and need to be caught.
  129. config DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
  130. bool "Detect Soft Lockups"
  131. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !S390
  132. default y
  133. help
  134. Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
  135. which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
  136. mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
  137. chance to run.
  138. When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
  139. current stack trace (which you should report), but the
  140. system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
  141. overhead.
  142. (Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
  143. can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
  144. support it.)
  145. config SCHED_DEBUG
  146. bool "Collect scheduler debugging info"
  147. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
  148. default y
  149. help
  150. If you say Y here, the /proc/sched_debug file will be provided

  152. option is minimal.
  153. config SCHEDSTATS
  154. bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
  155. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
  156. help
  157. If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
  158. scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
  159. scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
  160. stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
  161. If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
  162. application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
  163. this adds.
  164. config TIMER_STATS
  165. bool "Collect kernel timers statistics"
  166. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
  167. help
  168. If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
  169. timer routines to collect statistics about kernel timers being
  170. reprogrammed. The statistics can be read from /proc/timer_stats.
  171. The statistics collection is started by writing 1 to /proc/timer_stats,
  172. writing 0 stops it. This feature is useful to collect information
  173. about timer usage patterns in kernel and userspace. This feature
  174. is lightweight if enabled in the kernel config but not activated
  175. (it defaults to deactivated on bootup and will only be activated
  176. if some application like powertop activates it explicitly).
  177. config DEBUG_OBJECTS
  178. bool "Debug object operations"
  179. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  180. help
  181. If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the

  189. config DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE
  190. bool "Debug objects in freed memory"
  191. depends on DEBUG_OBJECTS
  192. help
  193. This enables checks whether a k/v free operation frees an area
  194. which contains an object which has not been deactivated
  195. properly. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads
  196. much slower.
  197. config DEBUG_SLAB
  198. bool "Debug slab memory allocations"
  199. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SLAB
  200. help
  201. Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
  202. allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
  203. memory. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads much slower.

  212. Boot with debugging on by default. SLUB boots by default with
  213. the runtime debug capabilities switched off. Enabling this is
  214. equivalent to specifying the "slub_debug" parameter on boot.
  215. There is no support for more fine grained debug control like
  216. possible with slub_debug=xxx. SLUB debugging may be switched
  217. off in a kernel built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON by specifying

  219. config SLUB_STATS
  220. default n
  221. bool "Enable SLUB performance statistics"
  222. depends on SLUB && SLUB_DEBUG && SYSFS
  223. help
  224. SLUB statistics are useful to debug SLUBs allocation behavior in
  225. order find ways to optimize the allocator. This should never be
  226. enabled for production use since keeping statistics slows down
  227. the allocator by a few percentage points. The slabinfo command
  228. supports the determination of the most active slabs to figure
  229. out which slabs are relevant to a particular load.
  230. Try running: slabinfo -DA

  232. bool "Debug preemptible kernel"
  233. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT && (TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT || PPC64)
  234. default y
  235. help
  236. If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
  237. commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
  238. if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel

  290. help
  291. This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
  292. that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
  293. correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
  294. not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
  295. sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
  296. arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
  297. deadlock.
  298. In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
  299. related deadlocks before they actually occur.
  300. The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
  301. deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
  302. participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
  303. for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
  304. timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
  305. theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
  306. is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
  307. reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
  308. makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
  309. If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
  310. observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
  311. kernel reports nothing.
  312. NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
  313. and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
  314. different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
  315. the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
  316. arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

  552. depends on PCI && X86
  553. help
  554. If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
  555. on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
  556. this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
  557. over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
  558. specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
  559. With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
  560. firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
  561. Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
  562. Usage:
  563. If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
  564. all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
  565. As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
  566. devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
  567. devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
  568. the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
  569. This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
  570. in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
  571. See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.
