2config PRINTK_TIME
3	bool "Show timing information on printks"
4	depends on PRINTK
5	help
6	  Selecting this option causes timing information to be
7	  included in printk output.  This allows you to measure
8	  the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
9	  operations.  This is useful for identifying long delays
10	  in kernel startup.

12config ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED
13	bool "Enable __deprecated logic"
14	default y
15	help
16	  Enable the __deprecated logic in the kernel build.
17	  Disable this to suppress the "warning: 'foo' is deprecated
18	  (declared at kernel/power/somefile.c:1234)" messages.
19
20config ENABLE_MUST_CHECK
21	bool "Enable __must_check logic"
22	default y
23	help

32	default 2048 if 64BIT
33	help
34	  Tell gcc to warn at build time for stack frames larger than this.
35	  Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
36	  Setting it to 0 disables the warning.

39config MAGIC_SYSRQ
40	bool "Magic SysRq key"
41	depends on !UML
42	help
43	  If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
44	  if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
45	  will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
46	  immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
47	  by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
48	  also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
49	  send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
50	  keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
51	  unless you really know what this hack does.
52
53config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
54	bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
55	default y if X86
56	help
57	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
58	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
59	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
60	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
61	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
62	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
63	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
64	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
65	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
66	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
67	  your module is.
68
69config DEBUG_FS
70	bool "Debug Filesystem"
71	depends on SYSFS
72	help
73	  debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
74	  debugging files into.  Enable this option to be able to read and
75	  write to these files.
76
77	  If unsure, say N.
78
79config HEADERS_CHECK
80	bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"
81	depends on !UML
82	help
83	  This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
84	  building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
85	  ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
86	  were not exported, etc.
87
88	  If you're making modifications to header files which are
89	  relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
90	  exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
91	  your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
92
93config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
94	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
95	depends on UNDEFINED
96	# This option is on purpose disabled for now.
97	# It will be enabled when we are down to a resonable number
98	# of section mismatch warnings (< 10 for an allyesconfig build)
99	help
100	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
101	  references from one section to another section.
102	  Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
103	  and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
104	  most likely result in an oops.
105	  In the code functions and variables are annotated with
106	  __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
107	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
108	  The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
109	  kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
110	  do the following:
111	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
112	    When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
113	    function we would lose the section information and thus
114	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
115	    This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
116	    result in a larger kernel.
117	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
118	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
119	    lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
120	    introduced.
121	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
122	    will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
123	    source. The drawback is that we will report the same
124	    mismatch at least twice.
125	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
126	    the section mismatches reported.
127
128config DEBUG_KERNEL
129	bool "Kernel debugging"
130	help
131	  Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and
132	  identify kernel problems.
133
134config DEBUG_SHIRQ
135	bool "Debug shared IRQ handlers"
136	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && GENERIC_HARDIRQS
137	help
138	  Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
139	  interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
140	  Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
141	  points; some don't and need to be caught.
142
143config DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
144	bool "Detect Soft Lockups"
145	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !S390
146	default y
147	help
148	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
149	  which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
150	  mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
151	  chance to run.
152
153	  When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
154	  current stack trace (which you should report), but the
155	  system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
156	  overhead.
157
158	  (Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
159	   can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
160	   support it.)
161
162config SCHED_DEBUG
163	bool "Collect scheduler debugging info"
164	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
165	default y
166	help
167	  If you say Y here, the /proc/sched_debug file will be provided
168	  that can help debug the scheduler. The runtime overhead of this
169	  option is minimal.
170
171config SCHEDSTATS
172	bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
173	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
174	help
175	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
176	  scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
177	  scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat.  These
178	  stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
179	  If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
180	  application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
181	  this adds.
182
183config TIMER_STATS
184	bool "Collect kernel timers statistics"
185	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
186	help
187	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
188	  timer routines to collect statistics about kernel timers being
189	  reprogrammed. The statistics can be read from /proc/timer_stats.
190	  The statistics collection is started by writing 1 to /proc/timer_stats,
191	  writing 0 stops it. This feature is useful to collect information
192	  about timer usage patterns in kernel and userspace. This feature
193	  is lightweight if enabled in the kernel config but not activated
194	  (it defaults to deactivated on bootup and will only be activated
195	  if some application like powertop activates it explicitly).
196
197config DEBUG_OBJECTS
198	bool "Debug object operations"
199	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
200	help
201	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
202	  kernel to track the life time of various objects and validate
203	  the operations on those objects.
204
205config DEBUG_OBJECTS_SELFTEST
206	bool "Debug objects selftest"
207	depends on DEBUG_OBJECTS

209	  This enables the selftest of the object debug code.
210
211config DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE
212	bool "Debug objects in freed memory"
213	depends on DEBUG_OBJECTS
214	help
215	  This enables checks whether a k/v free operation frees an area
216	  which contains an object which has not been deactivated
217	  properly. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads
218	  much slower.
219
220config DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS
221	bool "Debug timer objects"
222	depends on DEBUG_OBJECTS
223	help
224	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the

226	  validate the timer operations.
227
228config DEBUG_SLAB
229	bool "Debug slab memory allocations"
230	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SLAB
231	help
232	  Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
233	  allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
234	  memory. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads much slower.

243	default n
244	help
245	  Boot with debugging on by default. SLUB boots by default with
246	  the runtime debug capabilities switched off. Enabling this is
247	  equivalent to specifying the "slub_debug" parameter on boot.
248	  There is no support for more fine grained debug control like
249	  possible with slub_debug=xxx. SLUB debugging may be switched
250	  off in a kernel built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON by specifying
251	  "slub_debug=-".
252
253config SLUB_STATS
254	default n
255	bool "Enable SLUB performance statistics"
256	depends on SLUB && SLUB_DEBUG && SYSFS
257	help
258	  SLUB statistics are useful to debug SLUBs allocation behavior in
259	  order find ways to optimize the allocator. This should never be
260	  enabled for production use since keeping statistics slows down
261	  the allocator by a few percentage points. The slabinfo command
262	  supports the determination of the most active slabs to figure
263	  out which slabs are relevant to a particular load.
264	  Try running: slabinfo -DA
265
266config DEBUG_PREEMPT
267	bool "Debug preemptible kernel"
268	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT && (TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT || PPC64)
269	default y
270	help
271	  If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
272	  commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
273	  if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
274	  will detect preemption count underflows.
275
276config DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES
277	bool "RT Mutex debugging, deadlock detection"
278	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && RT_MUTEXES
279	help
280	 This allows rt mutex semantics violations and rt mutex related

296	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
297	help
298	  Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
299	  and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made.  This is
300	  best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
301	  deadlocks are also debuggable.
302
303config DEBUG_MUTEXES
304	bool "Mutex debugging: basic checks"

315	select LOCKDEP
316	help
317	 This feature will check whether any held lock (spinlock, rwlock,
318	 mutex or rwsem) is incorrectly freed by the kernel, via any of the
319	 memory-freeing routines (kfree(), kmem_cache_free(), free_pages(),
320	 vfree(), etc.), whether a live lock is incorrectly reinitialized via
321	 spin_lock_init()/mutex_init()/etc., or whether there is any lock
322	 held during task exit.

328	select DEBUG_SPINLOCK
329	select DEBUG_MUTEXES
330	select DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
331	default n
332	help
333	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
334	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
335	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
336	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
337	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
338	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
339	 deadlock.
340
341	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
342	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
343
344	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
345	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
346	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
347	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
348	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
349	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
350	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
351	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
352	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
353
354	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
355	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
356	 kernel reports nothing.
357
358	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
359	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
360	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
361	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
362	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

637config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
638	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
639	depends on PCI && X86
640	help
641	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
642	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
643	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
644	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
645	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
646
647	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
648	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
649	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
650
651	  Usage:
652
653	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
654	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
655
656	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
657	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
658	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
659	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
660
661	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
662	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
663
664	  See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

671	  with help of the firewire-ohci driver. It enables unfiltered
672	  remote DMA in firewire-ohci.
673	  See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.
674
675	  If unsure, say N.
