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_WARN_DEPRECATED
	bool "Enable __deprecated logic"
	default y
	help
	  Enable the __deprecated logic in the kernel build.
	  Disable this to suppress the "warning: 'foo' is deprecated
	  (declared at kernel/power/somefile.c:1234)" messages.

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 FRAME_WARN
	int "Warn for stack frames larger than (needs gcc 4.4)"
	range 0 8192
	default 1024 if !64BIT
	default 2048 if 64BIT
	help
	  Tell gcc to warn at build time for stack frames larger than this.
	  Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
	  Setting it to 0 disables the warning.
	  Requires gcc 4.4

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.

	  For detailed documentation on the debugfs API, see
	  Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.

	  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_SECTION_MISMATCH
	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
	depends on UNDEFINED
	# This option is on purpose disabled for now.
	# It will be enabled when we are down to a resonable number
	# of section mismatch warnings (< 10 for an allyesconfig build)
	help
	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
	  references from one section to another section.
	  Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
	  and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
	  most likely result in an oops.
	  In the code functions and variables are annotated with
	  __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
	  The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
	  kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
	  do the following:
	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
	    When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
	    function we would lose the section information and thus
	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
	    This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
	    result in a larger kernel.
	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
	    lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
	    introduced.
	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
	    will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
	    source. The drawback is that we will report the same
	    mismatch at least twice.
	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
	    the section mismatches reported.

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

config DEBUG_SHIRQ
	bool "Debug shared IRQ handlers"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && GENERIC_HARDIRQS
	help
	  Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
	  interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
	  Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
	  points; some don't and need to be caught.

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 60 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 BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC
	bool "Panic (Reboot) On Soft Lockups"
	depends on DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
	help
	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to panic on "soft lockups",
	  which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
	  mode for more than 60 seconds, without giving other tasks a
	  chance to run.

	  The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
	  to cause the system to reboot automatically after a
	  lockup has been detected. This feature is useful for
	  high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and
	  where a lockup must be resolved ASAP.

	  Say N if unsure.

config BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC_VALUE
	int
	depends on DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
	range 0 1
	default 0 if !BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC
	default 1 if BOOTPARAM_SOFTLOCKUP_PANIC

config DETECT_HUNG_TASK
	bool "Detect Hung Tasks"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	default DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP
	help
	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "hung tasks",
	  which are bugs that cause the task to be stuck in
	  uninterruptible "D" state indefinitiley.

	 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.

	depends on PCI && X86
	help
	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.

	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

	  Usage:

	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.

	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.

	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
	  implicitly enables all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. The impact of
	  this compile option is a larger kernel text size of about 2%.

	  Usage:

	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/ddebug' file,
	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug. This
	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
	  format for each line of the file is:

		filename:lineno [module]function flags format

	  filename : source file of the debug statement
	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
	  module : module that contains the debug statement
	  function : function that contains the debug statement
          flags : 'p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
          format : the format used for the debug statement

	  From a live system:

		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx - "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc - "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel - "calling\040cancel\012"

	  Example usage:

		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c

config DMA_API_DEBUG
	bool "Enable debugging of DMA-API usage"
	depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
	help
	  Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
	  With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
	  drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
	  were never allocated.
	  This option causes a performance degredation.  Use only if you want
	  to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
