15	help
16	  Enables the informational output from the decompression stage

21	bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
22	default y
23	help
24	  Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
25	  port.
26
27	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
28	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
29	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
30	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally say N here,
31	  unless you want to debug such a crash.

33config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP

39
40	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
41	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
42	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
43	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally say N here,
44	  unless you want to debug such a crash. You need usb debug device.

46config EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC
47	bool "Early printk via the xHCI debug port"
48	depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
49	select EARLY_PRINTK_USB
50	help
51	  Write kernel log output directly into the xHCI debug port.
52
53	  One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
54	  machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
55	  initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
56	  a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
57
58	  For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
59	  because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
60	  print anything on the screen.
61
62	  You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
63	  crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

70	depends on EFI
71	select PTDUMP_CORE
72	help
73	  Enable this if you want to dump the EFI page table before
74	  enabling virtual mode. This can be used to debug miscellaneous
75	  issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that
76	  table.

81	help
82
83	X86-only for now.
84
85	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
86	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
87	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
88	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
89	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
90	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
91	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
92
93	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
94
95	If in doubt, say "N".

97config IOMMU_DEBUG
98	bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"

100	depends on X86_64
101	help
102	  Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
103	  memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
104	  allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
105	  time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
106	  list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
107	  code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
108	  IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
109	  be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
110	  options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst for more
111	  details.
112
113config IOMMU_LEAK
114	bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
115	depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
116	help
117	  Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
118	  are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

127	help
128	 Perform x86 instruction decoder selftests at build time.
129	 This option is useful for checking the sanity of x86 instruction
130	 decoder code.
131	 If unsure, say "N".

139	help
140	  This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
141	  It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
142
143config IO_DELAY_0XED
144	bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
145	help
146	  Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
147	  often used as a hardware-debug port.
148
149config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
150	bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
151	help
152	  Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
153	  while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
154
155config IO_DELAY_NONE
156	bool "no port-IO delay"
157	help
158	  No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
159	  delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

176config DEBUG_ENTRY
177	bool "Debug low-level entry code"
178	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
179	help
180	  This option enables sanity checks in x86's low-level entry code.
181	  Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
182	  exits or otherwise impact performance.
183

186config DEBUG_NMI_SELFTEST
187	bool "NMI Selftest"
188	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && X86_LOCAL_APIC
189	help
190	  Enabling this option turns on a quick NMI selftest to verify
191	  that the NMI behaves correctly.
192
193	  This might help diagnose strange hangs that rely on NMI to
194	  function properly.
195
196	  If unsure, say N.
197
198config DEBUG_IMR_SELFTEST
199	bool "Isolated Memory Region self test"
200	depends on INTEL_IMR
201	help
202	  This option enables automated sanity testing of the IMR code.
203	  Some simple tests are run to verify IMR bounds checking, alignment
204	  and overlapping. This option is really only useful if you are
205	  debugging an IMR memory map or are modifying the IMR code and want to
206	  test your changes.
207
208	  If unsure say N here.

210config X86_DEBUG_FPU
211	bool "Debug the x86 FPU code"
212	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
213	default y
214	help
215	  If this option is enabled then there will be extra sanity
216	  checks and (boot time) debug printouts added to the kernel.
217	  This debugging adds some small amount of runtime overhead
218	  to the kernel.
219

227	help
228	  This is a debug driver, which gets the power states
229	  of all Punit North Complex devices. The power states of
230	  each device is exposed as part of the debugfs interface.
231	  The current power state can be read from

235	prompt "Choose kernel unwinder"

237	default UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER if X86_32
238	help
239	  This determines which method will be used for unwinding kernel stack
240	  traces for panics, oopses, bugs, warnings, perf, /proc/<pid>/stack,
241	  livepatch, lockdep, and more.
242
243config UNWINDER_ORC
244	bool "ORC unwinder"
245	depends on X86_64
246	select STACK_VALIDATION
247	help
248	  This option enables the ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwinder for
249	  unwinding kernel stack traces.  It uses a custom data format which is
250	  a simplified version of the DWARF Call Frame Information standard.
251
252	  This unwinder is more accurate across interrupt entry frames than the
253	  frame pointer unwinder.  It also enables a 5-10% performance
254	  improvement across the entire kernel compared to frame pointers.
255
256	  Enabling this option will increase the kernel's runtime memory usage
257	  by roughly 2-4MB, depending on your kernel config.
258
259config UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
260	bool "Frame pointer unwinder"
261	select FRAME_POINTER
262	help
263	  This option enables the frame pointer unwinder for unwinding kernel
264	  stack traces.
265
266	  The unwinder itself is fast and it uses less RAM than the ORC
267	  unwinder, but the kernel text size will grow by ~3% and the kernel's
268	  overall performance will degrade by roughly 5-10%.
269
270config UNWINDER_GUESS
271	bool "Guess unwinder"
272	depends on EXPERT
273	depends on !STACKDEPOT
274	help
275	  This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
276	  traces.  It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
277	  finds.  Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect.
278
279	  While this option often produces false positives, it can still be
280	  useful in many cases.  Unlike the other unwinders, it has no runtime
281	  overhead.
