menu "Kernel hacking"
source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
config STRICT_DEVMEM
bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
depends on MMU
---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.
If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
If in doubt, say Y.
config EARLY_PRINTK
def_bool DEBUG_OCD
help
Write kernel log output directly into the ocd 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_STACK_USAGE
bool "Enable 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 output.
# These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty.
config DEBUG_LL
bool "Kernel low-level debugging functions"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex
in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that
executes before the console is initialized.
config DEBUG_OCD
bool "Kernel low-level debugging via On-Chip-Debugger"
depends on DEBUG_LL
default y
help
Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
output to the UniCore On-Chip-Debugger channel using CP #1.
config DEBUG_OCD_BREAKPOINT
bool "Breakpoint support via On-Chip-Debugger"
depends on DEBUG_OCD
config DEBUG_UART
int "Kernel low-level debugging messages via serial port"
depends on DEBUG_LL
range 0 1
default "0"
help
Choice for UART for kernel low-level using PKUnity UARTS,
should be between zero and one. The port must have been
initialised by the boot-loader before use.
