bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
11
depends on SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK
14
This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
15
to print messages very early in the bootup process.
17
This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
18
early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
19
it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
20
doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
21
unless you want to debug such a crash.
24
bool "Built-in kernel command line"
27
For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
28
by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
29
it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
30
default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
31
For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
32
command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
33
should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
36
The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
37
line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
38
command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
40
Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
41
the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.
44
string "Default kernel command string"
45
depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
48
On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
49
pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
50
when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
51
the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
52
build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
53
kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
54
initialization routines.
56
For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
59
config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
60
bool "Built-in command line overrides firware arguments"
62
depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
64
By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
65
command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.
66
Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.
68
Normally, you will choose 'N' here.
70
config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
71
bool "Check for stack overflows"
72
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
74
This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space
75
drops below a certain limit(2GB on MIPS). The debugging option
76
provides another way to check stack overflow happened on kernel mode
77
stack usually caused by nested interruption.
79
config SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG
80
bool "Enable additional debug checks before going into CPU idle loop"
81
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && MIPS_MT_SMTC
83
This option enables Enable additional debug checks before going into
84
CPU idle loop. For details on these checks, see
85
arch/mips/kernel/smtc.c. This debugging option result in significant
86
overhead so should be disabled in production kernels.
89
bool "Corelis Debugger"
90
depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC
93
Select compile flags that produce code that can be processed by the
94
Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.
97
bool "Enable run-time debugging"
98
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
100
If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
101
If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See
102
arch/mips/include/asm/debug.h for debugging macros.
106
bool "Enable compressed kernel support debugging"
107
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT
110
If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the
111
board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select
112
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to
115
If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
116
can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to
117
debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as
118
arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.
120
After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option
121
to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
125
bool "Enable spinlock timing tests in debugfs"
129
Add several files to the debugfs to test spinlock speed.
