 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 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 && !X86_64) || 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	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 && !X86_64) || 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 will give very useful debugging information.	  If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able	  to solve problems without frame pointers.
