config STRICT_DEVMEM
	bool "Filter access to /dev/mem"
	depends on MMU
	---help---
	  If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
	  of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
	  access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
	  be used by people debugging the kernel.

	  If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
	  userspace access to memory mapped peripherals.

          If in doubt, say Y.

# RMK wants arm kernels compiled with frame pointers or stack unwinding.
# If you know what you are doing and are willing to live without stack
# traces, you can get a slightly smaller kernel by setting this option to
# n, but then RMK will have to kill you ;).
config FRAME_POINTER
	bool
	depends on !THUMB2_KERNEL
	default y if !ARM_UNWIND || FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
	help
	  If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and
	  faster. However, if neither FRAME_POINTER nor ARM_UNWIND are enabled,
	  when a problem occurs with the kernel, the information that is
	  reported is severely limited.

config ARM_UNWIND
	bool "Enable stack unwinding support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
	depends on AEABI && EXPERIMENTAL
	default y
	help
	  This option enables stack unwinding support in the kernel
	  using the information automatically generated by the
	  compiler. The resulting kernel image is slightly bigger but
	  the performance is not affected. Currently, this feature
	  only works with EABI compilers. If unsure say Y.

config OLD_MCOUNT
	bool
	depends on FUNCTION_TRACER && FRAME_POINTER
	default y

config DEBUG_USER
	bool "Verbose user fault messages"
	help
	  When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can
	  print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is
	  sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a
	  production system. Most people should say N here.

	  In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command
	  line to enable this feature.  N consists of the sum of:

	      1 - undefined instruction events
	      2 - system calls
	      4 - invalid data aborts
	      8 - SIGSEGV faults
	     16 - SIGBUS faults

config FORCE_PAGES
	bool "Force lowmem to be mapped with 4K pages"
        help
          There are some advanced debug features that can only be done when
          memory is mapped with pages instead of sections. Enable this option
          to always map lowmem pages with pages. This may have a performance
          cost due to increased TLB pressure.

          If unsure say N.

config FREE_PAGES_RDONLY
	bool "Set pages as read only while on the buddy list"
	select FORCE_PAGES
	select PAGE_POISONING
	help
          Pages are always mapped in the kernel. This means that anyone
          can write to the page if they have the address. Enable this option
          to mark pages as read only to trigger a fault if any code attempts
          to write to a page on the buddy list. This may have a performance
          impact.

          If unsure, say N.

# These options are only for real kernel hackers who want to get their hands dirty.
config DEBUG_LL
	bool "Kernel low-level debugging functions (read help!)"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex
	  in the kernel.  This is helpful if you are debugging code that
	  executes before the console is initialized.

	  Note that selecting this option will limit the kernel to a single
	  UART definition, as specified below. Attempting to boot the kernel
	  image on a different platform *will not work*, so this option should
	  not be enabled for kernels that are intended to be portable.

		  ARM's Fast Models, or any other controlling environment
		  that implements semihosting.

config EARLY_PRINTK
	bool "Early printk"
	depends on DEBUG_LL
	help
	  Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
	  kernel low-level debugging functions. Add earlyprintk to your
	  kernel parameters to enable this console.

config OC_ETM
	bool "On-chip ETM and ETB"
	depends on ARM_AMBA
	help
	  Enables the on-chip embedded trace macrocell and embedded trace

	help
	  Perform tests of kprobes API and instruction set simulation.

config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR
	bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
	depends on CPU_COPY_V6
	help
	  Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
	  the PROCID field of the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some
	  additional instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you
	  are planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.

config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
	bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO"
	depends on MODULES
	---help---
	  This option helps catch unintended modifications to loadable
	  kernel module's text and read-only data. It also prevents execution
	  of module data. Such protection may interfere with run-time code
	  patching and dynamic kernel tracing - and they might also protect
	  against certain classes of kernel exploits.
	  If in doubt, say "N".
