config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
bool "Check for stack overflows"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
bool "Stack utilization instrumentation"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
config DEBUGGER
bool "Enable debugger hooks"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Include in-kernel hooks for kernel debuggers. Unless you are
intending to debug the kernel, say N here.
config XMON
bool "Include xmon kernel debugger"
depends on DEBUGGER
help
Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.
Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.
config XMON_DEFAULT
bool "Enable xmon by default"
depends on XMON
config PPCDBG
bool "Include PPCDBG realtime debugging"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
config IRQSTACKS
bool "Use separate kernel stacks when processing interrupts"
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 SCHEDSTATS
bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
help
If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
this adds.
