Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen
Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen: "I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options are scattered around it haphazardly. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a start. This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps it on its own for the moment. The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses" * emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>: hang and lockup detection menu kconfig: consolidate printk options group locking debugging options consolidate compilation option configs consolidate runtime testing configs order memory debugging Kconfig options consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options

33 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
34 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
35 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
36 using "boot_delay=N".
37
38 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
39 the "loops per jiffie" value.
40 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
41 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
42 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
43 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.

54 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
55 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
56 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
57 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
58 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
59 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
60
61 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
62 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
63 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
64 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

68 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
69 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
70 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
71 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
72 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
73 format for each line of the file is:
74
75 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
76
77 filename : source file of the debug statement
78 lineno : line number of the debug statement
79 module : module that contains the debug statement
80 function : function that contains the debug statement
81 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
82 format : the format used for the debug statement
83
84 From a live system:
85
86 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
87 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
88 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

90 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
91
92 Example usage:
93
94 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
95 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

463 Say Y here if you want to enable the memory leak
464 detector. The memory allocation/freeing is traced in a way
465 similar to the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the
466 difference being that the orphan objects are not freed but
467 only shown in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this
468 feature will introduce an overhead to memory
469 allocations. See Documentation/kmemleak.txt for more
470 details.

472 Enabling DEBUG_SLAB or SLUB_DEBUG may increase the chances
473 of finding leaks due to the slab objects poisoning.

1412 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
1413 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
1414 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
1415 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
1416 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
1417 format for each line of the file is:
1418
1419 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
1420
1421 filename : source file of the debug statement
1422 lineno : line number of the debug statement
1423 module : module that contains the debug statement
1424 function : function that contains the debug statement
1425 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
1426 format : the format used for the debug statement
1427
1428 From a live system:
1429
1430 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1431 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
1432 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
1433 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
1434 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
1435
1436 Example usage:
1437
1438 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
1439 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
1440 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1441
1442 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
1443 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
1444 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1445
1446 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
1447 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
1448 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1449
1450 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
1451 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
1452 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1453
1454 // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
1455 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
1456 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
