config PRINTK_TIME
	bool "Show timing information on printks"
	depends on PRINTK
	help
	  Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
	  messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
	  call and at the console.

	  The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
	  to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
	  be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

	  The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
	  parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
	int "Default message log level (1-7)"
	range 1 7
	default "4"
	help
	  Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.

	  This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
	  that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
	  priority.

config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
	bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
	help
	  This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
	  by inserting a short delay after each one.  The delay is
	  specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
	  using "boot_delay=N".

	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
	  the "loops per jiffie" value.
	  See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
	  system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
	  NOTE:  Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
	  I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
	  BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
	  what it believes to be lockup conditions.

config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
	bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
	default n
	depends on PRINTK
	depends on DEBUG_FS
	help

	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
	  implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
	  enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.

	  If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
	  pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
	  disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
	  turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

	  Usage:

	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
	  format for each line of the file is:

		filename:lineno [module]function flags format

	  filename : source file of the debug statement
	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
	  module : module that contains the debug statement
	  function : function that contains the debug statement
          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
          format : the format used for the debug statement

	  From a live system:

		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"

	  Example usage:

		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

config DEBUG_INFO
	bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !COMPILE_TEST
	help
          If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
	  debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
	  This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
	  is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
	  tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.
	  Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.

	  If unsure, say N.

config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
	bool "Reduce debugging information"
	depends on DEBUG_INFO
	help
	  If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
	  build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
	  DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
	  Only works with newer gcc versions.

config DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
	bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
	depends on DEBUG_INFO
	help
	  Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
	  reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
	  because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
	  files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
	  In addition the debug information is also compressed.

	  Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
	  Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
	  to know about the .dwo files and include them.
	  Incompatible with older versions of ccache.

config DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4
	bool "Generate dwarf4 debuginfo"
	depends on DEBUG_INFO
	help
	  Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
	  of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.
	  But it significantly improves the success of resolving
	  variables in gdb on optimized code.

config GDB_SCRIPTS
	bool "Provide GDB scripts for kernel debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_INFO
	help
	  This creates the required links to GDB helper scripts in the
	  build directory. If you load vmlinux into gdb, the helper
	  scripts will be automatically imported by gdb as well, and
	  additional functions are available to analyze a Linux kernel
	  instance. See Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt for further
	  details.

config ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED
	bool "Enable __deprecated logic"
	default y
	help
	  Enable the __deprecated logic in the kernel build.

config ENABLE_MUST_CHECK
	bool "Enable __must_check logic"

	help
	  Tell gcc to warn at build time for stack frames larger than this.
	  Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
	  Setting it to 0 disables the warning.
	  Requires gcc 4.4

config STRIP_ASM_SYMS
	bool "Strip assembler-generated symbols during link"
	default n
	help
	  Strip internal assembler-generated symbols during a link (symbols
	  that look like '.Lxxx') so they don't pollute the output of
	  get_wchan() and suchlike.

config READABLE_ASM
        bool "Generate readable assembler code"
        depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
        help
          Disable some compiler optimizations that tend to generate human unreadable
          assembler output. This may make the kernel slightly slower, but it helps
          to keep kernel developers who have to stare a lot at assembler listings
          sane.

config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
	bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
	default y if X86
	help
	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
	  your module is.

config PAGE_OWNER

	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
	select DEBUG_FS
	select STACKTRACE

	help
	  This keeps track of what call chain is the owner of a page, may
	  help to find bare alloc_page(s) leaks. Even if you include this
	  feature on your build, it is disabled in default. You should pass
	  "page_owner=on" to boot parameter in order to enable it. Eats
	  a fair amount of memory if enabled. See tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c
	  for user-space helper.

	  If unsure, say N.

config DEBUG_FS
	bool "Debug Filesystem"
	help
	  debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
	  debugging files into.  Enable this option to be able to read and
	  write to these files.

	  For detailed documentation on the debugfs API, see
	  Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.

	  If unsure, say N.

config HEADERS_CHECK
	bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"
	depends on !UML
	help
	  This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
	  building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
	  ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
	  were not exported, etc.

	  If you're making modifications to header files which are
	  relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
	  exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
	  your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.

config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
	help
	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
	  references from one section to another section.
	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
	  any use of code/data previously in these sections would
	  most likely result in an oops.
	  In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
	  __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
	  additional steps to occur:
	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
	    a larger kernel).
	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
	    lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
	    introduced.
	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
	    reported at least twice.
	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
	    the section mismatches that are reported.

	  puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
	  definitions.

	  1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
	  2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function

	  by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
	  also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you

	  Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel

	  and the system will stay locked up.

	  The overhead should be minimal.  A periodic hrtimer runs to

	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
	 deadlock.

	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.

	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).

	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
	 kernel reports nothing.

	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
	depends on PCI && X86
	help
	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.

	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

	  Usage:

	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.

	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.

	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

	  See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

config BUILD_DOCSRC

config DMA_API_DEBUG
	bool "Enable debugging of DMA-API usage"
	depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
	help
	  Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
	  With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
	  drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
	  were never allocated.

	  This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
	  accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption.  For
	  example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
	  not undergoing DMA.

	  This option causes a performance degradation.  Use only if you want to
	  debug device drivers and dma interactions.

	  If unsure, say N.
