 config PRINTK_TIME	bool "Show timing information on printks"	depends on PRINTK	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 ENABLE_MUST_CHECK	bool "Enable __must_check logic"	default y	help	  Enable the __must_check logic in the kernel build.  Disable this to	  suppress the "warning: ignoring return value of 'foo', declared with	  attribute warn_unused_result" messages. config MAGIC_SYSRQ	bool "Magic SysRq key"	depends on !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 UNUSED_SYMBOLS	bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"	default y if X86	help	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for	  your module is. config DEBUG_FS	bool "Debug Filesystem"	depends on 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 HEADERS_CHECK	bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"	depends on !UML	help	  This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever	  building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to	  ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which	  were not exported, etc. 	  If you're making modifications to header files which are	  relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers	  exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in	  your build tree), to make sure they're suitable. config DEBUG_KERNEL	bool "Kernel debugging"	help	  Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and	  identify kernel problems. config LOG_BUF_SHIFT	int "Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)" if DEBUG_KERNEL	range 12 21	default 17 if S390 || LOCKDEP	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 && !S390	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 slab memory allocations"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SLAB	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_SLAB_LEAK	bool "Memory leak debugging"	depends on DEBUG_SLAB config DEBUG_PREEMPT	bool "Debug preemptible kernel"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PREEMPT && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT	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_RT_MUTEXES	bool "RT Mutex debugging, deadlock detection"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && RT_MUTEXES	help	 This allows rt mutex semantics violations and rt mutex related	 deadlocks (lockups) to be detected and reported automatically. config DEBUG_PI_LIST	bool	default y	depends on DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES config RT_MUTEX_TESTER	bool "Built-in scriptable tester for rt-mutexes"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && RT_MUTEXES	help	  This option enables a rt-mutex tester. config DEBUG_SPINLOCK	bool "Spinlock and rw-lock debugging: basic checks"	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_MUTEXES	bool "Mutex debugging: basic checks"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	 This feature allows mutex semantics violations to be detected and	 reported. config DEBUG_RWSEMS	bool "RW-sem debugging: basic checks"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	 This feature allows read-write semaphore semantics violations to	 be detected and reported. config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC	bool "Lock debugging: detect incorrect freeing of live locks"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT && LOCKDEP_SUPPORT	select DEBUG_SPINLOCK	select DEBUG_MUTEXES	select DEBUG_RWSEMS	select LOCKDEP	help	 This feature will check whether any held lock (spinlock, rwlock,	 mutex or rwsem) is incorrectly freed by the kernel, via any of the	 memory-freeing routines (kfree(), kmem_cache_free(), free_pages(),	 vfree(), etc.), whether a live lock is incorrectly reinitialized via	 spin_lock_init()/mutex_init()/etc., or whether there is any lock	 held during task exit. config PROVE_LOCKING	bool "Lock debugging: prove locking correctness"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT && LOCKDEP_SUPPORT	select LOCKDEP	select DEBUG_SPINLOCK	select DEBUG_MUTEXES	select DEBUG_RWSEMS	select DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC	default n	help	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a	 deadlock. 	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking	 related deadlocks before they actually occur. 	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible). 	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the	 kernel reports nothing. 	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. 	 For more details, see Documentation/lockdep-design.txt. config LOCKDEP	bool	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT && LOCKDEP_SUPPORT	select STACKTRACE	select FRAME_POINTER if !X86	select KALLSYMS	select KALLSYMS_ALL config DEBUG_LOCKDEP	bool "Lock dependency engine debugging"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && LOCKDEP	help	  If you say Y here, the lock dependency engine will do	  additional runtime checks to debug itself, at the price	  of more runtime overhead. config TRACE_IRQFLAGS	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	bool	default y	depends on TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT	depends on PROVE_LOCKING config DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP	bool "Spinlock debugging: 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_LOCKING_API_SELFTESTS	bool "Locking API boot-time self-tests"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  Say Y here if you want the kernel to run a short self-test during	  bootup. The self-test checks whether common types of locking bugs	  are detected by debugging mechanisms or not. (if you disable	  lock debugging then those bugs wont be detected of course.)	  The following locking APIs are covered: spinlocks, rwlocks,	  mutexes and rwsems. config STACKTRACE	bool	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT 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 || AVR32 || M32R || M68K || SPARC32 || SPARC64 || FRV || SUPERH || GENERIC_BUG	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_VM	bool "Debug VM"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  Enable this to turn on extended checks in the virtual-memory system          that may impact performance. 	  If unsure, say N. config DEBUG_LIST	bool "Debug linked list manipulation"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  Enable this to turn on extended checks in the linked-list	  walking routines. 	  If unsure, say N. config FRAME_POINTER	bool "Compile the kernel with frame pointers"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && (X86 || CRIS || M68K || M68KNOMMU || FRV || UML || S390 || AVR32 || SUPERH)	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 if you use external debuggers.	  If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N. config FORCED_INLINING	bool "Force gcc to inline functions marked 'inline'"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	default y	help	  This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions	  developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to	  do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of	  compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and	  disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully	  this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can	  become the default in the future, until then this option is there to	  test gcc for this. config RCU_TORTURE_TEST	tristate "torture tests for RCU"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	default n	help	  This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests	  on the RCU infrastructure.  The kernel module may be built	  after the fact on the running kernel to be tested, if desired. 	  Say Y here if you want RCU torture tests to start automatically	  at boot time (you probably don't).	  Say M if you want the RCU torture tests to build as a module.	  Say N if you are unsure. config LKDTM	tristate "Linux Kernel Dump Test Tool Module"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	depends on KPROBES	default n	help	This module enables testing of the different dumping mechanisms by	inducing system failures at predefined crash points.	If you don't need it: say N	Choose M here to compile this code as a module. The module will be	called lkdtm. 	Documentation on how to use the module can be found in	drivers/misc/lkdtm.c config FAULT_INJECTION	bool "Fault-injection framework"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	depends on STACKTRACE	select FRAME_POINTER	help	  Provide fault-injection framework.	  For more details, see Documentation/fault-injection/. config FAILSLAB	bool "Fault-injection capability for kmalloc"	depends on FAULT_INJECTION	help	  Provide fault-injection capability for kmalloc. config FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC	bool "Fault-injection capabilitiy for alloc_pages()"	depends on FAULT_INJECTION	help	  Provide fault-injection capability for alloc_pages(). config FAIL_MAKE_REQUEST	bool "Fault-injection capability for disk IO"	depends on FAULT_INJECTION	help	  Provide fault-injection capability for disk IO. config FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS	bool "Debugfs entries for fault-injection capabilities"	depends on FAULT_INJECTION && SYSFS && DEBUG_FS	help	  Enable configuration of fault-injection capabilities via debugfs.
