config PRINTK_TIME
bool "Show timing information on printks"
help
Selecting this option causes timing information to be
included in printk output. This allows you to measure
the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
operations. This is useful for identifying long delays
in kernel startup.
config MAGIC_SYSRQ
bool "Magic SysRq key"
depends on !UML
help
If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
unless you really know what this hack does.
config DEBUG_KERNEL
bool "Kernel debugging"
help
Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and
identify kernel problems.
config LOG_BUF_SHIFT
int "Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)" if DEBUG_KERNEL
range 12 21
default 17 if S390
default 16 if X86_NUMAQ || IA64
default 15 if SMP
default 14
help
Select kernel log buffer size as a power of 2.
Defaults and Examples:
17 => 128 KB for S/390
16 => 64 KB for x86 NUMAQ or IA-64
15 => 32 KB for SMP
14 => 16 KB for uniprocessor
13 => 8 KB
12 => 4 KB
config DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
bool "Detect Soft Lockups"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default y
help
Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
chance to run.
When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
current stack trace (which you should report), but the
system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
overhead.
(Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
support it.)
config SCHEDSTATS
bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
help
If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
this adds.
config DEBUG_SLAB
bool "Debug memory allocations"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SLAB
help
Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
memory. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads much slower.
config DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK
bool "Memory leak debugging"
depends on DEBUG_SLAB
config DEBUG_PREEMPT
bool "Debug preemptible kernel"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT
default y
help
If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
will detect preemption count underflows.
config DEBUG_MUTEXES
bool "Mutex debugging, deadlock detection"
default y
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
This allows mutex semantics violations and mutex related deadlocks
(lockups) to be detected and reported automatically.
config DEBUG_SPINLOCK
bool "Spinlock debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made. This is
best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
deadlocks are also debuggable.
config DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
bool "Sleep-inside-spinlock checking"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very
noisy if they are called with a spinlock held.
config DEBUG_KOBJECT
bool "kobject debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here, some extra kobject debugging messages will be sent
to the syslog.
config DEBUG_HIGHMEM
bool "Highmem debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && HIGHMEM
help
This options enables addition error checking for high memory systems.
Disable for production systems.
config DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
bool "Verbose BUG() reporting (adds 70K)" if DEBUG_KERNEL && EMBEDDED
depends on BUG
depends on ARM || ARM26 || M32R || M68K || SPARC32 || SPARC64 || X86_32 || FRV
default !EMBEDDED
help
Say Y here to make BUG() panics output the file name and line number
of the BUG call as well as the EIP and oops trace. This aids
debugging but costs about 70-100K of memory.
config DEBUG_INFO
bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_IOREMAP
bool "Enable ioremap() debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PARISC
help
Enabling this option will cause the kernel to distinguish between
ioremapped and physical addresses. It will print a backtrace (at
most one every 10 seconds), hopefully allowing you to see which
drivers need work. Fixing all these problems is a prerequisite
for turning on USE_HPPA_IOREMAP. The warnings are harmless;
the kernel has enough information to fix the broken drivers
automatically, but we'd like to make it more efficient by not
having to do that.
config DEBUG_FS
bool "Debug Filesystem"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYSFS
help
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.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_VM
bool "Debug VM"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Enable this to turn on extended checks in the virtual-memory system
that may impact performance.
If unsure, say N.
config FRAME_POINTER
bool "Compile the kernel with frame pointers"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && (X86 || CRIS || M68K || M68KNOMMU || FRV || UML)
default y if DEBUG_INFO && UML
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
and slower, but it might give very useful debugging information on
some architectures or if you use external debuggers.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
config UNWIND_INFO
bool "Compile the kernel with frame unwind information"
depends on !IA64
depends on !MODULES || !(MIPS || PARISC || PPC || SUPERH || SPARC64 || V850)
default DEBUG_KERNEL
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
but not slower, and it will give very useful debugging information.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
to solve problems without frame unwind information or frame pointers.
config FORCED_INLINING
bool "Force gcc to inline functions marked 'inline'"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default y
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
disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
test gcc for this.
config RCU_TORTURE_TEST
tristate "torture tests for RCU"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
default n
help
This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
on the RCU infrastructure. The kernel module may be built
after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired.
Say Y here if you want RCU torture tests to start automatically
at boot time (you probably don't).
Say M if you want the RCU torture tests to build as a module.
Say N if you are unsure.
