9config CROSSCOMPILE
10	bool "Are you using a crosscompiler"
11	help
12	  Say Y here if you are compiling the kernel on a different
13	  architecture than the one it is intended to run on.  This is just a
14	  convenience option which will select the appropriate value for
15	  the CROSS_COMPILE make variable which otherwise has to be passed on
16	  the command line from mips-linux-, mipsel-linux-, mips64-linux- and
17	  mips64el-linux- as appropriate for a particular kernel configuration.
18	  You will have to pass the value for CROSS_COMPILE manually if the
19	  name prefix for your tools is different.
20
21config CMDLINE
22	string "Default kernel command string"
23	default ""
24	help
25	  On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
26	  pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, you can supply
27	  some command-line options at build time by entering them here.  In
28	  other cases you can specify kernel args so that you don't have
29	  to set them up in board prom initialization routines.

31config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
32	bool "Enable stack utilization instrumentation"
33	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
34	help
35	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
36	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
37
38	  This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
39
40config SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG
41	bool "Enable additional debug checks before going into CPU idle loop"
42	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && MIPS_MT_SMTC
43	help
44	  This option enables Enable additional debug checks before going into
45	  CPU idle loop.  For details on these checks, see
46	  arch/mips/kernel/smtc.c.  This debugging option result in significant
47	  overhead so should be disabled in production kernels.
48
49config KGDB
50	bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
51	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYS_SUPPORTS_KGDB
52	select DEBUG_INFO
53	help
54	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS
55	  kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by
56	  several megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB,
57	  better 32 MB RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only
58	  useful for kernel hackers. If unsure, say N.
59
60config SYS_SUPPORTS_KGDB
61	bool
62
63config GDB_CONSOLE
64	bool "Console output to GDB"
65	depends on KGDB
66	help
67	  If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
68	  would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
69	  that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
70
71config SB1XXX_CORELIS
72	bool "Corelis Debugger"
73	depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC
74	select DEBUG_INFO
75	help
76	  Select compile flags that produce code that can be processed by the
77	  Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.
78
79config RUNTIME_DEBUG
80	bool "Enable run-time debugging"
81	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
82	help
83	  If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
84	  If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops.  See
85	  include/asm-mips/debug.h for debuging macros.
86	  If unsure, say N.
87
88config MIPS_UNCACHED
89	bool "Run uncached"
90	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP && !SGI_IP27
91	help
92	  If you say Y here there kernel will disable all CPU caches.  This will
93	  reduce the system's performance dramatically but can help finding
94	  otherwise hard to track bugs.  It can also useful if you're doing
95	  hardware debugging with a logic analyzer and need to see all traffic
96	  on the bus.
