33 help
34 Adds code to keep track of the number of hypervisor calls made and
35 the amount of time spent in hypervisor callsr. Wall time spent in
36 each call is always calculated, and if available CPU cycles spent
37 are also calculated. A directory named hcall_inst is added at the
38 root of the debugfs filesystem. Within the hcall_inst directory
39 are files that contain CPU specific call statistics.

41 This option will add a small amount of overhead to all hypervisor
42 calls.

Paul Mackerrasff642082005-10-10 22:15:52 +100093 Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise
94 nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the
95 framebuffer memory).
96 The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon
97 very early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon
98 debugger hooks. 'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks
99 if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set.
Olaf Hering26c8af52006-09-08 16:29:21 +0200100 xmon will print a backtrace on the very first invocation.
