For normal operation + it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate + with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally N here, + unless you want to debug such a crash. + +config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW + bool "Check for stack overflows" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL + help + This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space + drops below a certain limit. + +config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE + bool "Stack utilization instrumentation" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL + help + Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each + task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output. + + This option will slow down process creation somewhat. + +comment "Page alloc debug is incompatible with Software Suspend on i386" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && HIBERNATION + depends on X86_32 + +config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC + bool "Debug page memory allocations" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !HIBERNATION && !HUGETLBFS + depends on X86_32 + help + Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages(). + This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types + of memory corruptions. + +config DEBUG_RODATA + bool "Write protect kernel read-only data structures" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL + help + Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables, + in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const + data. This option may have a slight performance impact because a + portion of the kernel code won't be covered by a 2MB TLB anymore. + If in doubt, say "N". + +config 4KSTACKS + bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL + depends on X86_32 + help + If you say Y here the kernel will use a 4Kb stacksize for the + kernel stack attached to each process/thread. This facilitates + running more threads on a system and also reduces the pressure + on the VM subsystem for higher order allocations. This option + will also use IRQ stacks to compensate for the reduced stackspace. + +config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG + def_bool y + depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC || X86_VOYAGER + depends on X86_32 + +config X86_MPPARSE + def_bool y + depends on X86_LOCAL_APIC && !X86_VISWS + depends on X86_32 + +config DOUBLEFAULT + default y + bool "Enable doublefault exception handler" if EMBEDDED + depends on X86_32 + help + This option allows trapping of rare doublefault exceptions that + would otherwise cause a system to silently reboot. Disabling this + option saves about 4k and might cause you much additional grey + hair. + +config IOMMU_DEBUG + bool "Enable IOMMU debugging" + depends on IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL + depends on X86_64 + help + Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of + memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And + allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot + time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather + list merging. Currently not recommended for production + code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough + IOMMU/AGP aperture.
