x86: unification of i386 and x86_64 Kconfig.debug
Adding proper dependencies so the two Kconfig.debug files are now identical and move the result file to x86. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

+
+config EARLY_PRINTK
+ bool "Early printk" if EMBEDDED && DEBUG_KERNEL
+ default y
+ depends on X86_32
+ 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 DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
+ bool "Debug page memory allocations"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !HIBERNATION && !HUGETLBFS
+ depends on X86_32
+ 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
+ depends on X86_32
+ 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.

+config DOUBLEFAULT
+ default y
+ bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED
+ depends on X86_32
+ help
+ This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that
+ would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this
+ option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey
+ hair.
+
+config IOMMU_DEBUG
+ bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
+ depends on IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
+ depends on X86_64
+ 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.
