13	bool "Enable verbose x86 bootup info messages"
14	default y
15	help
16	  Enables the informational output from the decompression stage
17	  (e.g. bzImage) of the boot. If you disable this you will still
18	  see errors. Disable this if you want silent bootup.

20config EARLY_PRINTK
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.
32
33config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP
34	bool "Early printk via EHCI debug port"
35	depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
36	select EARLY_PRINTK_USB

38	  Write kernel log output directly into the EHCI debug port.
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.
45
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.

65config EFI_PGT_DUMP
66	bool "Dump the EFI pagetable"
67	depends on EFI
68	select PTDUMP_CORE
69	help
70	  Enable this if you want to dump the EFI page table before
71	  enabling virtual mode. This can be used to debug miscellaneous
72	  issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that
73	  table.
74
75config DEBUG_TLBFLUSH
76	bool "Set upper limit of TLB entries to flush one-by-one"
77	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
78	help
79
80	X86-only for now.
81
82	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
83	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
84	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
85	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
86	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
87	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
88	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
89
90	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
91
92	If in doubt, say "N".

94config IOMMU_DEBUG
95	bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
96	depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
97	depends on X86_64
98	help
99	  Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
100	  memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
101	  allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
102	  time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
103	  list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
104	  code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
105	  IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
106	  be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
107	  options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst for more
108	  details.
109
110config IOMMU_LEAK
111	bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
112	depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
113	help
114	  Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
115	  are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

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

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

172
173config DEBUG_ENTRY
174	bool "Debug low-level entry code"
175	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
176	help
177	  This option enables sanity checks in x86's low-level entry code.
178	  Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
179	  exits or otherwise impact performance.
180
181	  If unsure, say N.
182
183config DEBUG_NMI_SELFTEST
184	bool "NMI Selftest"
185	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && X86_LOCAL_APIC
186	help
187	  Enabling this option turns on a quick NMI selftest to verify
188	  that the NMI behaves correctly.
189
190	  This might help diagnose strange hangs that rely on NMI to
191	  function properly.
192
193	  If unsure, say N.
194
195config DEBUG_IMR_SELFTEST
196	bool "Isolated Memory Region self test"
197	depends on INTEL_IMR
198	help
199	  This option enables automated sanity testing of the IMR code.
200	  Some simple tests are run to verify IMR bounds checking, alignment
201	  and overlapping. This option is really only useful if you are
202	  debugging an IMR memory map or are modifying the IMR code and want to
203	  test your changes.
204
205	  If unsure say N here.
206
207config X86_DEBUG_FPU
208	bool "Debug the x86 FPU code"
209	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
210	default y
211	help
212	  If this option is enabled then there will be extra sanity
213	  checks and (boot time) debug printouts added to the kernel.
214	  This debugging adds some small amount of runtime overhead
215	  to the kernel.
216
217	  If unsure, say N.

221	depends on PCI
222	select DEBUG_FS
223	select IOSF_MBI
224	help
225	  This is a debug driver, which gets the power states
226	  of all Punit North Complex devices. The power states of
227	  each device is exposed as part of the debugfs interface.
228	  The current power state can be read from
229	  /sys/kernel/debug/punit_atom/dev_power_state

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