config TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT

source "lib/Kconfig.debug"

config STRICT_DEVMEM
	bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
	---help---
	  If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
	  of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
	  access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
	  be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
	  enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
	  use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

	  If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
	  userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and data regions.
	  This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common users of
	  /dev/mem.

	  If in doubt, say Y.

config X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP
	bool "Enable verbose x86 bootup info messages"
	default y
	---help---
	  Enables the informational output from the decompression stage
	  (e.g. bzImage) of the boot. If you disable this you will still
	  see errors. Disable this if you want silent bootup.

config EARLY_PRINTK
	bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED
	default y
	---help---
	  Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
	  port.

	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
	  unless you want to debug such a crash.

config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP
	bool "Early printk via EHCI debug port"
	default n
	depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
	---help---
	  Write kernel log output directly into the EHCI debug port.

	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here,
	  unless you want to debug such a crash. You need usb debug device.

config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
	bool "Check for stack overflows"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	---help---
	  This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space
	  drops below a certain limit.

config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
	bool "Stack utilization instrumentation"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	---help---
	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.

	  This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

config DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
	bool "Debug access to per_cpu maps"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on SMP
	default n
	---help---
	  Say Y to verify that the per_cpu map being accessed has
	  been setup.  Adds a fair amount of code to kernel memory
	  and decreases performance.

	  Say N if unsure.

config X86_PTDUMP
	bool "Export kernel pagetable layout to userspace via debugfs"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	select DEBUG_FS
	---help---
	  Say Y here if you want to show the kernel pagetable layout in a
	  debugfs file. This information is only useful for kernel developers
	  who are working in architecture specific areas of the kernel.
	  It is probably not a good idea to enable this feature in a production
	  kernel.
	  If in doubt, say "N"

config DEBUG_RODATA
	bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
	default y
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	---help---
	  Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
	  in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const
	  data. This is recommended so that we can catch kernel bugs sooner.
	  If in doubt, say "Y".

config DEBUG_RODATA_TEST
	bool "Testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA feature"
	depends on DEBUG_RODATA
	default y
	---help---
	  This option enables a testcase for the DEBUG_RODATA
	  feature as well as for the change_page_attr() infrastructure.
	  If in doubt, say "N"

config DEBUG_NX_TEST
	tristate "Testcase for the NX non-executable stack feature"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && m
	---help---
	  This option enables a testcase for the CPU NX capability
	  and the software setup of this feature.
	  If in doubt, say "N"

config 4KSTACKS
	bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
	depends on X86_32
	---help---
	  If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the
	  kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates
	  running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure
	  on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option
	  will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace.

config DOUBLEFAULT
	default y
	bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
	depends on X86_32
	---help---
	  This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
	  would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
	  option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
	  hair.

config IOMMU_DEBUG
	bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
	depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on X86_64
	---help---
	  Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
	  memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
	  allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
	  time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
	  list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
	  code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
	  IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
	  be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
	  options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
	  details.

config IOMMU_STRESS
	bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
	---help---
	  This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
	  code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
	  will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
	  testing.

config IOMMU_LEAK
	bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
	depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
	---help---
	  Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
	  are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

config X86_DS_SELFTEST
    bool "DS selftest"
    default y
    depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
    depends on X86_DS
	---help---
	  Perform Debug Store selftests at boot time.
	  If in doubt, say "N".

config IO_DELAY_0X80
	bool "port 0x80 based port-IO delay [recommended]"
	---help---
	  This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
	  It is the most tested hence safest selection here.

config IO_DELAY_0XED
	bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
	---help---
	  Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
	  often used as a hardware-debug port.

config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
	bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
	---help---
	  Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
	  while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.

config IO_DELAY_NONE
	bool "no port-IO delay"
	---help---
	  No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
	  delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

menuconfig KMEMCHECK

	select FRAME_POINTER
	select STACKTRACE
	default n
	help
	  This option enables tracing of dynamically allocated kernel memory
	  to see if memory is used before it has been given an initial value.
	  Be aware that this requires half of your memory for bookkeeping and
	  will insert extra code at *every* read and write to tracked memory
	  thus slow down the kernel code (but user code is unaffected).

	  The kernel may be started with kmemcheck=0 or kmemcheck=1 to disable
	  or enable kmemcheck at boot-time. If the kernel is started with
	  kmemcheck=0, the large memory and CPU overhead is not incurred.

choice
	prompt "kmemcheck: default mode at boot"
	depends on KMEMCHECK
	default KMEMCHECK_ONESHOT_BY_DEFAULT
	help
	  This option controls the default behaviour of kmemcheck when the
	  kernel boots and no kmemcheck= parameter is given.

	  In one-shot mode, only the first error detected is reported before
	  kmemcheck is disabled.

endchoice

config KMEMCHECK_QUEUE_SIZE
	int "kmemcheck: error queue size"
	depends on KMEMCHECK
	default 64
	help
	  Select the maximum number of errors to store in the queue. Since
	  errors can occur virtually anywhere and in any context, we need a
	  temporary storage area which is guarantueed not to generate any
	  other faults. The queue will be emptied as soon as a tasklet may
	  be scheduled. If the queue is full, new error reports will be
	  lost.

config KMEMCHECK_SHADOW_COPY_SHIFT
	int "kmemcheck: shadow copy size (5 => 32 bytes, 6 => 64 bytes)"
	depends on KMEMCHECK
	range 2 8
	default 5
	help
	  Select the number of shadow bytes to save along with each entry of
	  the queue. These bytes indicate what parts of an allocation are
	  initialized, uninitialized, etc. and will be displayed when an
	  error is detected to help the debugging of a particular problem.

config KMEMCHECK_PARTIAL_OK
	bool "kmemcheck: allow partially uninitialized memory"
	depends on KMEMCHECK
	default y
	help
	  This option works around certain GCC optimizations that produce
	  32-bit reads from 16-bit variables where the upper 16 bits are
	  thrown away afterwards. This may of course also hide some real
	  bugs.

config KMEMCHECK_BITOPS_OK
	bool "kmemcheck: allow bit-field manipulation"
	depends on KMEMCHECK
	default n
	help
	  This option silences warnings that would be generated for bit-field
	  accesses where not all the bits are initialized at the same time.
	  This may also hide some real bugs.

config DEBUG_BOOT_PARAMS
	bool "Debug boot parameters"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	depends on DEBUG_FS
	---help---
	  This option will cause struct boot_params to be exported via debugfs.

config CPA_DEBUG
	bool "CPA self-test code"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	---help---
	  Do change_page_attr() self-tests every 30 seconds.

config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
	bool "Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
	---help---
	  This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
	  developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
	  do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
	  compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
	  enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
	  this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
	  decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
	  is there to test gcc for this.

	  If unsure, say N.
