menu "Kernel hacking" source "lib/Kconfig.debug" config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW bool "Check for stack overflows" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PPC64 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 && PPC64 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 DEBUGGER bool "Enable debugger hooks" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL help Include in-kernel hooks for kernel debuggers. Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here. config KGDB bool "Include kgdb kernel debugger" depends on DEBUGGER && (BROKEN || PPC_GEN550 || 4xx) select DEBUG_INFO help Include in-kernel hooks for kgdb, the Linux kernel source level debugger. See for more information. Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here. choice prompt "Serial Port" depends on KGDB default KGDB_TTYS1 config KGDB_TTYS0 bool "ttyS0" config KGDB_TTYS1 bool "ttyS1" config KGDB_TTYS2 bool "ttyS2" config KGDB_TTYS3 bool "ttyS3" endchoice config KGDB_CONSOLE bool "Enable serial console thru kgdb port" depends on KGDB && 8xx || CPM2 help If you enable this, all serial console messages will be sent over the gdb stub. If unsure, say N. config XMON bool "Include xmon kernel debugger" depends on DEBUGGER && !PPC_ISERIES help Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger. Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here. Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the framebuffer memory). The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon very early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon debugger hooks. 'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set. config XMON_DEFAULT bool "Enable xmon by default" depends on XMON help xmon is normally disabled unless booted with 'xmon=on'. Use 'xmon=off' to disable xmon init during runtime. config IRQSTACKS bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts" depends on PPC64 help If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid overflowing the process kernel stacks. config BDI_SWITCH bool "Include BDI-2000 user context switcher" depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PPC32 help Include in-kernel support for the Abatron BDI2000 debugger. Unless you are intending to debug the kernel with one of these machines, say N here. config BOOTX_TEXT bool "Support for early boot text console (BootX or OpenFirmware only)" depends PPC_OF && !PPC_ISERIES help Say Y here to see progress messages from the boot firmware in text mode. Requires either BootX or Open Firmware. config SERIAL_TEXT_DEBUG bool "Support for early boot texts over serial port" depends on 4xx || LOPEC || MV64X60 || PPLUS || PRPMC800 || \ PPC_GEN550 || PPC_MPC52xx config PPC_OCP bool depends on IBM_OCP || XILINX_OCP default y endmenu
