source "lib/Kconfig.debug"

config EARLY_PRINTK
	bool "Early printk"
	depends on EMBEDDED && DEBUG_KERNEL
	default n
	help
	  Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
	  port.

	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
	  early before the console code is initialized. 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

config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
	bool "Page alloc debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	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 GDBSTUB
	bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	select DEBUG_INFO
	select FRAME_POINTER
	help
	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the kernel
	  using gdb. This enlarges your kernel ELF image disk size by several
	  megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB, better 32 MB
	  RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only useful for kernel
	  hackers. If unsure, say N.

choice
	prompt "GDB stub port"
	default GDBSTUB_UART1
	depends on GDBSTUB
	help
	  Select the on-CPU port used for GDB-stub

config GDBSTUB_UART0
	bool "/dev/ttyS0"

config GDBSTUB_UART1
	bool "/dev/ttyS1"

endchoice

config GDBSTUB_IMMEDIATE
	bool "Break into GDB stub immediately"
	depends on GDBSTUB
	help
	  If you say Y here, GDB stub will break into the program as soon as
	  possible, leaving the program counter at the beginning of
	  start_kernel() in init/main.c.

config GDB_CONSOLE
	bool "Console output to GDB"
	depends on GDBSTUB
	help
	  If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
	  would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
	  that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
