-config DEBUG_KERNEL
- bool "Kernel debugging"
- help
- Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and
- identify kernel problems.
-
-config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
- bool "Enable 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_SLAB
- bool "Debug memory allocations"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
- allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
- memory.
-
-config MAGIC_SYSRQ
- bool "Magic SysRq key"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
- if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
- will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
- immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
- by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
- also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
- send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
- keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
- unless you really know what this hack does.
-
-config DEBUG_SPINLOCK
- bool "Spinlock debugging"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
- and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made. This is
- best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
- deadlocks are also debuggable.
-
-config DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
- bool "Sleep-inside-spinlock checking"
- depends DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very
- noisy if they are called with a spinlock held.
-
-config DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
- bool "Verbose BUG() reporting (adds 70K)"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- Say Y here to make BUG() panics output the file name and line number
- of the BUG call as well as the EIP and oops trace. This aids
- debugging but costs about 70-100K of memory.
-
-config DEBUG_DCFLUSH
- bool "D-cache flush debugging"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
-
-config DEBUG_INFO
- bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- help
- If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
- debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
- Say Y here only if you plan to use gdb to debug the kernel.
- If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.

-config STACK_DEBUG
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- bool "Stack Overflow Detection Support"
-
-config DEBUG_BOOTMEM

- bool "Debug BOOTMEM initialization"

-# We have a custom atomic_dec_and_lock() implementation but it's not
-# compatible with spinlock debugging so we need to fall back on
-# the generic version in that case.
