	prompt "Physical memory granularity"
	default IA64_GRANULE_64MB

config IA64_GRANULE_16MB
	bool "16MB"
	help
	  IA-64 identity-mapped regions use a large page size called "granules".

	  Select "16MB" for a small granule size.
	  Select "64MB" for a large granule size.  This is the current default.

config IA64_GRANULE_64MB
	bool "64MB"
	depends on !(IA64_GENERIC || IA64_HP_ZX1 || IA64_HP_ZX1_SWIOTLB || IA64_SGI_SN2)

config IA64_PRINT_HAZARDS
	bool "Print possible IA-64 dependency violations to console"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Selecting this option prints more information for Illegal Dependency
	  Faults, that is, for Read-after-Write (RAW), Write-after-Write (WAW),
	  or Write-after-Read (WAR) violations.  This option is ignored if you
	  are compiling for an Itanium A step processor
	  (CONFIG_ITANIUM_ASTEP_SPECIFIC).  If you're unsure, select Y.

config DISABLE_VHPT
	bool "Disable VHPT"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  The Virtual Hash Page Table (VHPT) enhances virtual address
	  translation performance.  Normally you want the VHPT active but you
	  can select this option to disable the VHPT for debugging.  If you're
	  unsure, answer N.

config IA64_DEBUG_CMPXCHG
	bool "Turn on compare-and-exchange bug checking (slow!)"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Selecting this option turns on bug checking for the IA-64
	  compare-and-exchange instructions.  This is slow!  Itaniums
	  from step B3 or later don't have this problem. If you're unsure,
	  select N.

config IA64_DEBUG_IRQ
	bool "Turn on irq debug checks (slow!)"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	help
	  Selecting this option turns on bug checking for the IA-64 irq_save
	  and restore instructions.  It's useful for tracking down spinlock
	  problems, but slow!  If you're unsure, select N.

config KDB
	bool "Built-in Kernel Debugger support"
	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
	select KALLSYMS
	select KALLSYMS_ALL
	help
	  This option provides a built-in kernel debugger.  The built-in
	  kernel debugger contains commands which allow memory to be examined,
	  instructions to be disassembled and breakpoints to be set.  For details,
	  see Documentation/kdb/kdb.mm and the manual pages kdb_bt, kdb_ss, etc.
	  Kdb can also be used via the serial port.  Set up the system to
	  have a serial console (see Documentation/serial-console.txt).
	  The key sequence <escape>KDB on the serial port will cause the
	  kernel debugger to be entered with input from the serial port and
	  output to the serial console.  If unsure, say N.

config KDB_MODULES
	tristate "KDB modules"
	depends on KDB
	help
	  KDB can be extended by adding your own modules, in directory
	  kdb/modules.  This option selects the way that these modules should
	  be compiled, as free standing modules (select M) or built into the
	  kernel (select Y).  If unsure say M.

config KDB_OFF
	bool "KDB off by default"
	depends on KDB
	help
	  Normally kdb is activated by default, as long as CONFIG_KDB is set.
	  If you want to ship a kernel with kdb support but only have kdb
	  turned on when the user requests it then select this option.  When
	  compiled with CONFIG_KDB_OFF, kdb ignores all events unless you boot
	  with kdb=on or you echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb.  This option also
	  works in reverse, if kdb is normally activated, you can boot with
	  kdb=off or echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/kdb to deactivate kdb. If
	  unsure, say N.

config KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC
	int "KDB continues after catastrophic errors"
	depends on KDB
	default "0"
	help
	  This integer controls the behaviour of kdb when the kernel gets a
	  catastrophic error, i.e. for a panic, oops, NMI or other watchdog
	  tripping.  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC interacts with
	  /proc/sys/kernel/kdb and CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP (if your kernel has the
	  LKCD patch).
	  When KDB is active (/proc/sys/kernel/kdb == 1) and a catastrophic
	  error occurs, nothing extra happens until you type 'go'.
	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default).  The first time
	  you type 'go', kdb warns you.  The second time you type 'go', KDB
	  tries to continue - no guarantees that the kernel is still usable.
	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 1.  KDB tries to continue - no
	  guarantees that the kernel is still usable.
	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2.  If your kernel has the LKCD
	  patch and LKCD is configured to take a dump then KDB forces a dump.
	  Whether or not a dump is taken, KDB forces a reboot.
	  When KDB is not active (/proc/sys/kernel/kdb == 0) and a catastrophic
	  error occurs, the following steps are automatic, no human
	  intervention is required.
	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 0 (default) or 1.  KDB attempts
	  to continue - no guarantees that the kernel is still usable.
	  CONFIG_KDB_CONTINUE_CATASTROPHIC == 2.  If your kernel has the LKCD
	  patch and LKCD is configured to take a dump then KDB automatically
	  forces a dump.  Whether or not a dump is taken, KDB forces a
	  reboot.
	  If you are not sure, say 0.  Read Documentation/kdb/dump.txt before
	  setting to 2.

config KDB_USB
	bool "Support for USB Keyboard in KDB (OHCI only)"
	depends on KDB && USB_OHCI_HCD
	help
	  If you want to use kdb from a OHCI USB keyboard then say Y here.  If you
	  say N then kdb can only be used from a PC (AT) keyboard or a serial
	  console.

config SYSVIPC_COMPAT
	bool
	depends on COMPAT && SYSVIPC
	default y
