config PRINTK_TIME
	bool "Show timing information on printks"
	help
	  Selecting this option causes timing information to be
	  included in printk output.  This allows you to measure
	  the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
	  operations.  This is useful for identifying long delays
	  in kernel startup.


config DEBUG_KERNEL
	bool "Kernel debugging"
	help
	  Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and
	  identify kernel problems.

config MAGIC_SYSRQ
	bool "Magic SysRq key"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !UML
	help
	  If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
	  if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
	  will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
	  immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
	  by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
	  also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
	  send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
	  keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
	  unless you really know what this hack does.

config LOG_BUF_SHIFT
	int "Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)" if DEBUG_KERNEL
	range 12 21
	default 17 if ARCH_S390
	default 16 if X86_NUMAQ || IA64
	default 15 if SMP
	default 14
	help
	  Select kernel log buffer size as a power of 2.
	  Defaults and Examples:
	  	     17 => 128 KB for S/390
		     16 => 64 KB for x86 NUMAQ or IA-64
	             15 => 32 KB for SMP
	             14 => 16 KB for uniprocessor
		     13 =>  8 KB
		     12 =>  4 KB

config DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
	bool "Detect Soft Lockups"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	default y
	help
	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
	  which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
	  mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
	  chance to run.

	  When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
	  current stack trace (which you should report), but the
	  system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
	  overhead.

	  (Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
	   can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
	   support it.)

config SCHEDSTATS
	bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
	help
	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
	  scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
	  scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat.  These
	  stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
	  If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
	  application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
	  this adds.

config DEBUG_SLAB
	bool "Debug memory allocations"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
	  allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
	  memory. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads much slower.

config DEBUG_PREEMPT
	bool "Debug preemptible kernel"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT
	default y
	help
	  If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
	  commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
	  if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
	  will detect preemption count underflows.

config DEBUG_SPINLOCK
	bool "Spinlock debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Say Y here and build SMP to catch missing spinlock initialization
	  and certain other kinds of spinlock errors commonly made.  This is
	  best used in conjunction with the NMI watchdog so that spinlock
	  deadlocks are also debuggable.

config DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP
	bool "Sleep-inside-spinlock checking"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  If you say Y here, various routines which may sleep will become very
	  noisy if they are called with a spinlock held.

config DEBUG_KOBJECT
	bool "kobject debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  If you say Y here, some extra kobject debugging messages will be sent
	  to the syslog. 

config DEBUG_HIGHMEM
	bool "Highmem debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && HIGHMEM
	help
	  This options enables addition error checking for high memory systems.
	  Disable for production systems.

config DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
	bool "Verbose BUG() reporting (adds 70K)" if DEBUG_KERNEL && EMBEDDED
	depends on BUG
	depends on ARM || ARM26 || M32R || M68K || SPARC32 || SPARC64 || X86_32 || FRV
	default !EMBEDDED
	help
	  Say Y here to make BUG() panics output the file name and line number
	  of the BUG call as well as the EIP and oops trace.  This aids
	  debugging but costs about 70-100K of memory.

config DEBUG_INFO
	bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
          If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
	  debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
	  Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.

	  If unsure, say N.

config DEBUG_IOREMAP
	bool "Enable ioremap() debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PARISC
	help
	  Enabling this option will cause the kernel to distinguish between
	  ioremapped and physical addresses.  It will print a backtrace (at
	  most one every 10 seconds), hopefully allowing you to see which
	  drivers need work.  Fixing all these problems is a prerequisite
	  for turning on USE_HPPA_IOREMAP.  The warnings are harmless;
	  the kernel has enough information to fix the broken drivers
	  automatically, but we'd like to make it more efficient by not
	  having to do that.

config DEBUG_FS
	bool "Debug Filesystem"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYSFS
	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.

	  If unsure, say N.

config FRAME_POINTER
	bool "Compile the kernel with frame pointers"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && (X86 || CRIS || M68K || M68KNOMMU || FRV || UML)
	default y if DEBUG_INFO && UML
	help
	  If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
	  and slower, but it might give very useful debugging information
	  on some architectures or you use external debuggers.
	  If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.
