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 IOMMU_DEBUG
depends on IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
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_LEAK
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
depends on IOMMU_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 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.
