| bool "Check for stack overflows" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space |
| drops below a certain limit. |
| |
| config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE |
| bool "Stack utilization instrumentation" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| help |
| Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each |
| task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output. |
| |
| This option will slow down process creation somewhat. |

| config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC |
| bool "Debug page memory allocations" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SOFTWARE_SUSPEND && PPC32 |
| help |
| Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages(). |
| This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types |
| of memory corruptions. |

| |
| config HCALL_STATS |
| bool "Hypervisor call instrumentation" |
| depends on PPC_PSERIES && DEBUG_FS |
| help |
| Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and |
| the amount of time spent in hypervisor callsr. Wall time spent in |
| each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent |
| are also calculated. A directory named hcall_inst is added at the |
| root of the debugfs filesystem. Within the hcall_inst directory |
| are files that contain CPU specific call statistics. |
| |
| This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor |
| calls. |

| help |
| Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger. |
| Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here. |
| Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise |
| nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the |
| framebuffer memory). |
| The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon |
| very early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon |
| debugger hooks. 'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks |
| if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set. |
| xmon will print a backtrace on the very first invocation. |
| 'xmon=nobt' will disable this autobacktrace. |
| |
| config XMON_DEFAULT |

| system. |

| config IRQSTACKS |
| bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts" |
| depends on PPC64 |

| If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks |
| for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid |
| overflowing the process kernel stacks. |
