source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
config EARLY_PRINTK
bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED && DEBUG_KERNEL
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 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 STACK_BACKTRACE_COLS
int "Stack backtraces per line" if DEBUG_KERNEL
range 1 3
default 2
help
Selects how many stack backtrace entries per line to display.
This can save screen space when displaying traces.
comment "Page alloc debug is incompatible with Software Suspend on i386"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
bool "Page alloc debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SOFTWARE_SUSPEND && !HUGETLBFS
help
Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
of memory corruptions.
config DEBUG_RODATA
bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures"
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 option may have a slight performance impact because a
portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore.
If in doubt, say "N".
config 4KSTACKS
bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
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.

bool
depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER
default y
config X86_MPPARSE
bool
depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS
