| config SH_STANDARD_BIOS |
| bool "Use LinuxSH standard BIOS" |
| help |
| Say Y here if your target has the gdb-sh-stub |
| package from www.m17n.org (or any conforming standard LinuxSH BIOS) |
| in FLASH or EPROM. The kernel will use standard BIOS calls during |
| boot for various housekeeping tasks (including calls to read and |
| write characters to a system console, get a MAC address from an |
| on-board Ethernet interface, and shut down the hardware). Note this |
| does not work with machines with an existing operating system in |
| mask ROM and no flash (WindowsCE machines fall in this category). |
| If unsure, say N. |
| |
| config STACK_DEBUG |
| bool "Check for stack overflows" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK |
| help |
| This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space |
| drops below a certain limit. Saying Y here will add overhead to |
| every function call and will therefore incur a major |
| performance hit. Most users should say N. |
| |
| config 4KSTACKS |
| bool "Use 4Kb for kernel stacks instead of 8Kb" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && (MMU || BROKEN) && !PAGE_SIZE_64KB |
| 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 IRQSTACKS |
| bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && BROKEN |
| help |
| If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks |
| for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid |
| overflowing the process kernel stacks. |
| |
| config DUMP_CODE |
| bool "Show disassembly of nearby code in register dumps" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| default y if DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE |
| default n |
| help |
| This prints out a code trace of the instructions leading up to |
| the faulting instruction as a debugging aid. As this does grow |
| the kernel in size a bit, most users will want to say N here. |
| |
| Those looking for more verbose debugging output should say Y. |
| |
| config DWARF_UNWINDER |
| bool "Enable the DWARF unwinder for stacktraces" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| select FRAME_POINTER |
| default n |
| help |
| Enabling this option will make stacktraces more accurate, at |
| the cost of an increase in overall kernel size. |
| |
| config SH_NO_BSS_INIT |
| bool "Avoid zeroing BSS (to speed-up startup on suitable platforms)" |
| depends on DEBUG_KERNEL |
| default n |
| help |
| If running in painfully slow environments, such as an RTL |
| simulation or from remote memory via SHdebug, where the memory |
| can already be guaranteed to ber zeroed on boot, say Y. |
| |
| For all other cases, say N. If this option seems perplexing, or |
| you aren't sure, say N. |
