5 | # RMK wants arm kernels compiled with frame pointers so hardwire this to y. | |
6 | # If you know what you are doing and are willing to live without stack | |
7 | # traces, you can get a slightly smaller kernel by setting this option to | |
8 | # n, but then RMK will have to kill you ;). | |

12 | help | |
13 | If you say N here, the resulting kernel will be slightly smaller and | |
14 | faster. However, when a problem occurs with the kernel, the | |
15 | information that is reported is severely limited. Most people | |
16 | should say Y here. | |

18 | config DEBUG_USER | |
19 | bool "Verbose user fault messages" | |
20 | help | |
21 | When a user program crashes due to an exception, the kernel can | |
22 | print a brief message explaining what the problem was. This is | |
23 | sometimes helpful for debugging but serves no purpose on a | |
24 | production system. Most people should say N here. | |
25 | ||
26 | In addition, you need to pass user_debug=N on the kernel command | |
27 | line to enable this feature. N consists of the sum of: | |
28 | ||
29 | 1 - undefined instruction events | |
30 | 2 - system calls | |
31 | 4 - invalid data aborts | |
32 | 8 - SIGSEGV faults | |
33 | 16 - SIGBUS faults | |

40 | bool "Verbose kernel error messages" | |
41 | depends on DEBUG_KERNEL | |
42 | help | |
43 | This option controls verbose debugging information which can be | |
44 | printed when the kernel detects an internal error. This debugging | |
45 | information is useful to kernel hackers when tracking down problems, | |
46 | but mostly meaningless to other people. It's safe to say Y unless | |
47 | you are concerned with the code size or don't want to see these | |
48 | messages. | |

35efb606 | 56 | Say Y here to include definitions of printascii, printch, printhex |

57 | in the kernel. This is helpful if you are debugging code that |
58 | executes before the console is initialized. | |

60 | config DEBUG_ICEDCC | |
61 | bool "Kernel low-level debugging via EmbeddedICE DCC channel" | |
62 | depends on DEBUG_LL | |
63 | help | |
64 | Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their | |
65 | output to the EmbeddedICE macrocell's DCC channel using | |
66 | co-processor 14. This is known to work on the ARM9 style ICE | |
67 | channel. | |
68 | ||
69 | It does include a timeout to ensure that the system does not | |
70 | totally freeze when there is nothing connected to read. | |

75 | help | |
76 | Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their | |
77 | output to the serial port in the DC21285 (Footbridge). Saying N | |
78 | will cause the debug messages to appear on the first 16550 | |
79 | serial port. | |

84 | help | |
85 | Say Y here if you want the debug print routines to direct their | |
86 | output to the second serial port on these devices. Saying N will | |
87 | cause the debug messages to appear on the first serial port. | |

92 | help | |
93 | Say Y here if you want debug print routines to go to one of the | |
94 | S3C2410 internal UARTs. The chosen UART must have been configured | |
95 | before it is used. | |

97 | config DEBUG_S3C2410_UART | |

100 | default "0" | |
101 | help | |
102 | Choice for UART for kernel low-level using S3C2410 UARTS, | |
103 | should be between zero and two. The port must have been | |
104 | initalised by the boot-loader before use. | |
105 | ||
106 | The uncompressor code port configuration is now handled | |
107 | by CONFIG_S3C2410_LOWLEVEL_UART_PORT. | |
