- menu "Kernel hacking"
- source "lib/Kconfig.debug"
- config STRICT_DEVMEM
- bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
- depends on MMU
- ---help---
- If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
- of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
- access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
- be used by people debugging the kernel.
- If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
- userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.
- If in doubt, say Y.
- # RMK wants arm kernels compiled with frame pointers or stack unwinding.
- # If you know what you are doing and are willing to live without stack
- # traces, you can get a slightly smaller kernel by setting this option to
- # n, but then RMK will have to kill you ;).
- config FRAME_POINTER
- bool
- depends on !THUMB2_KERNEL
- default y if !ARM_UNWIND || FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
- help
- If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
- faster. However, if neither FRAME_POINTER nor ARM_UNWIND are enabled,
- when a problem occurs with the kernel, the information that is
- reported is severely limited.
- config ARM_UNWIND
- bool "Enable stack unwinding support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
- depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL
- default y
- help
- This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel
- using the information automatically generated by the
- compiler. The resulting kernel image is slightly bigger but
- the performance is not affected. Currently, this feature
- only works with EABI compilers. If unsure say Y.
- config OLD_MCOUNT
- bool
- depends on FUNCTION_TRACER && FRAME_POINTER
- default y
- config DEBUG_USER
- bool "Verbose user fault messages"
- help
- When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
- print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
- sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
- production system. Most people should say N here.
- In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
- line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of:
- 1 - undefined instruction events
- 2 - system calls
- 4 - invalid data aborts
- 8 - SIGSEGV faults
- 16 - SIGBUS faults
- # These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty.
- config DEBUG_LL
- bool "Kernel low-level debugging functions"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex
- in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that
- executes before the console is initialized.
- config EARLY_PRINTK
- bool "Early printk"
- depends on DEBUG_LL
- help
- Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
- kernel low-level debugging functions. Add earlyprintk to your
- kernel parameters to enable this console.
- config DEBUG_ICEDCC
- bool "Kernel low-level debugging via EmbeddedICE DCC channel"
- depends on DEBUG_LL
- help
- Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
- output to the EmbeddedICE macrocell's DCC channel using
- co-processor 14. This is known to work on the ARM9 style ICE
- channel and on the XScale with the PEEDI.
- It does include a timeout to ensure that the system does not
- totally freeze when there is nothing connected to read.
- config OC_ETM
- bool "On-chip ETM and ETB"
- select ARM_AMBA
- help
- Enables the on-chip embedded trace macrocell and embedded trace
- buffer driver that will allow you to collect traces of the
- kernel code.
- config DEBUG_DC21285_PORT
- bool "Kernel low-level debugging messages via footbridge serial port"
- depends on DEBUG_LL && FOOTBRIDGE
- help
- Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
- output to the serial port in the DC21285 (Footbridge). Saying N
- will cause the debug messages to appear on the first 16550
- serial port.
- config DEBUG_CLPS711X_UART2
- bool "Kernel low-level debugging messages via UART2"
- depends on DEBUG_LL && ARCH_CLPS711X
- help
- Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their
- output to the second serial port on these devices. Saying N will
- cause the debug messages to appear on the first serial port.
- config DEBUG_S3C_UART
- depends on PLAT_SAMSUNG
- int "S3C UART to use for low-level debug"
- default "0"
- help
- Choice for UART for kernel low-level using S3C UARTS,
- should be between zero and two. The port must have been
- initialised by the boot-loader before use.
- The uncompressor code port configuration is now handled
- by CONFIG_S3C_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT.
