This can be useful if your display is 11 too small and stack traces cause important information to 12 scroll off the screen. 13 14config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW 15 bool "Check for stack overflows" 16 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 17 help 18 This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space 19 drops below a certain limit. 20 21config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE 22 bool "Stack utilization instrumentation" 23 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 24 help 25 Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each 26 task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output. 27 28 This option will slow down process creation somewhat. 29 30config HCALL_STATS 31 bool "Hypervisor call instrumentation" 32 depends on PPC_PSERIES && DEBUG_FS 33 help 34 Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and 35 the amount of time spent in hypervisor calls. Wall time spent in 36 each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent 37 are also calculated. A directory named hcall_inst is added at the 38 root of the debugfs filesystem. Within the hcall_inst directory 39 are files that contain CPU specific call statistics. 40 41 This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor 42 calls. 43 44config CODE_PATCHING_SELFTEST 45 bool "Run self-tests of the code-patching code." 46 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 47 default n 48 49config FTR_FIXUP_SELFTEST 50 bool "Run self-tests of the feature-fixup code." 51 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 52 default n 53 54config MSI_BITMAP_SELFTEST 55 bool "Run self-tests of the MSI bitmap code." 56 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 57 default n 58 59config XMON 60 bool "Include xmon kernel debugger" 61 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL 62 help 63 Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger. 64 Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here. 65 Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise 66 nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the 67 framebuffer memory). 68 The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon 69 very early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon 70 debugger hooks. 'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks 71 if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set. 72 xmon will print a backtrace on the very first invocation. 73 'xmon=nobt' will disable this autobacktrace. 74 75config XMON_DEFAULT 76 bool "Enable xmon by default" 77 depends on XMON 78 help 79 xmon is normally disabled unless booted with 'xmon=on'. 80 Use 'xmon=off' to disable xmon init during runtime. 81 82config XMON_DISASSEMBLY 83 bool "Include disassembly support in xmon" 84 depends on XMON 85 default y 86 help 87 Include support for disassembling in xmon.
