12 Say Y here if you are compiling the kernel on a different
Ralf Baechle37631202006-04-24 13:08:41 +010013 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.

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

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.

38 This option will slow down process creation somewhat.

40config KGDB
41 bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
42 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
43 select DEBUG_INFO
44 help
45 If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS
46 kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by
47 several megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB,
48 better 32 MB RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only
49 useful for kernel hackers. If unsure, say N.

51config GDB_CONSOLE
52 bool "Console output to GDB"
53 depends on KGDB
54 help
55 If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
56 would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
57 that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.

65 Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.

67config RUNTIME_DEBUG
68 bool "Enable run-time debugging"
69 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
70 help
71 If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
72 If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See
73 include/asm-mips/debug.h for debuging macros.
74 If unsure, say N.
75
76config MIPS_UNCACHED
77 bool "Run uncached"
78 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP && !SGI_IP27
79 help
80 If you say Y here there kernel will disable all CPU caches. This will
81 reduce the system's performance dramatically but can help finding
82 otherwise hard to track bugs. It can also useful if you're doing
83 hardware debugging with a logic analyzer and need to see all traffic
84 on the bus.
