6config X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP
7	bool "Enable verbose x86 bootup info messages"
8	default y
9	help
10	  Enables the informational output from the decompression stage
11	  (e.g. bzImage) of the boot. If you disable this you will still
12	  see errors. Disable this if you want silent bootup.

14config EARLY_PRINTK
15	bool "Early printk" if EXPERT
16	default y
17	help
18	  Write kernel log output directly into the VGA buffer or to a serial
19	  port.
20
21	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
22	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
23	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
24	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally say N here,
25	  unless you want to debug such a crash.
26
27config EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP
28	bool "Early printk via EHCI debug port"
29	depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
30	select EARLY_PRINTK_USB
31	help
32	  Write kernel log output directly into the EHCI debug port.
33
34	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
35	  early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation
36	  it is not recommended because it looks ugly and doesn't cooperate
37	  with klogd/syslogd or the X server. You should normally say N here,
38	  unless you want to debug such a crash. You need usb debug device.
39
40config EARLY_PRINTK_USB_XDBC
41	bool "Early printk via the xHCI debug port"
42	depends on EARLY_PRINTK && PCI
43	select EARLY_PRINTK_USB
44	help
45	  Write kernel log output directly into the xHCI debug port.
46
47	  One use for this feature is kernel debugging, for example when your
48	  machine crashes very early before the regular console code is
49	  initialized. Other uses include simpler, lockless logging instead of
50	  a full-blown printk console driver + klogd.
51
52	  For normal production environments this is normally not recommended,
53	  because it doesn't feed events into klogd/syslogd and doesn't try to
54	  print anything on the screen.
55
56	  You should normally say N here, unless you want to debug early
57	  crashes or need a very simple printk logging facility.

59config EFI_PGT_DUMP
60	bool "Dump the EFI pagetable"
61	depends on EFI
62	select PTDUMP_CORE
63	help
64	  Enable this if you want to dump the EFI page table before
65	  enabling virtual mode. This can be used to debug miscellaneous
66	  issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that
67	  table.
68
69config DEBUG_TLBFLUSH
70	bool "Set upper limit of TLB entries to flush one-by-one"
71	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
72	help
73
74	X86-only for now.
75
76	This option allows the user to tune the amount of TLB entries the
77	kernel flushes one-by-one instead of doing a full TLB flush. In
78	certain situations, the former is cheaper. This is controlled by the
79	tlb_flushall_shift knob under /sys/kernel/debug/x86. If you set it
80	to -1, the code flushes the whole TLB unconditionally. Otherwise,
81	for positive values of it, the kernel will use single TLB entry
82	invalidating instructions according to the following formula:
83
84	flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_shift
85
86	If in doubt, say "N".

88config IOMMU_DEBUG
89	bool "Enable IOMMU debugging"
90	depends on GART_IOMMU && DEBUG_KERNEL
91	depends on X86_64
92	help
93	  Force the IOMMU to on even when you have less than 4GB of
94	  memory and add debugging code. On overflow always panic. And
95	  allow to enable IOMMU leak tracing. Can be disabled at boot
96	  time with iommu=noforce. This will also enable scatter gather
97	  list merging.  Currently not recommended for production
98	  code. When you use it make sure you have a big enough
99	  IOMMU/AGP aperture.  Most of the options enabled by this can
100	  be set more finegrained using the iommu= command line
101	  options. See Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.rst for more
102	  details.
103
104config IOMMU_LEAK
105	bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
106	depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
107	help
108	  Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
109	  are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.

118	help
119	 Perform x86 instruction decoder selftests at build time.
120	 This option is useful for checking the sanity of x86 instruction
121	 decoder code.

131	  This is the traditional Linux IO delay used for in/out_p.
132	  It is the most tested hence safest selection here.
133
134config IO_DELAY_0XED
135	bool "port 0xed based port-IO delay"
136	help
137	  Use port 0xed as the IO delay. This frees up port 0x80 which is
138	  often used as a hardware-debug port.
139
140config IO_DELAY_UDELAY
141	bool "udelay based port-IO delay"
142	help
143	  Use udelay(2) as the IO delay method. This provides the delay
144	  while not having any side-effect on the IO port space.
145
146config IO_DELAY_NONE
147	bool "no port-IO delay"
148	help
149	  No port-IO delay. Will break on old boxes that require port-IO
150	  delay for certain operations. Should work on most new machines.

170	help
171	  This option enables sanity checks in x86's low-level entry code.
172	  Some of these sanity checks may slow down kernel entries and
173	  exits or otherwise impact performance.

178	bool "NMI Selftest"

180	help
181	  Enabling this option turns on a quick NMI selftest to verify
182	  that the NMI behaves correctly.
183
184	  This might help diagnose strange hangs that rely on NMI to
185	  function properly.
186
187	  If unsure, say N.
188
189config DEBUG_IMR_SELFTEST
190	bool "Isolated Memory Region self test"
191	depends on INTEL_IMR
192	help
193	  This option enables automated sanity testing of the IMR code.
194	  Some simple tests are run to verify IMR bounds checking, alignment
195	  and overlapping. This option is really only useful if you are
196	  debugging an IMR memory map or are modifying the IMR code and want to
197	  test your changes.
198
199	  If unsure say N here.

201config X86_DEBUG_FPU
202	bool "Debug the x86 FPU code"
203	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
204	default y
205	help
206	  If this option is enabled then there will be extra sanity
207	  checks and (boot time) debug printouts added to the kernel.
208	  This debugging adds some small amount of runtime overhead
209	  to the kernel.

235	bool "ORC unwinder"

237	select STACK_VALIDATION
238	help
239	  This option enables the ORC (Oops Rewind Capability) unwinder for
240	  unwinding kernel stack traces.  It uses a custom data format which is
241	  a simplified version of the DWARF Call Frame Information standard.
242
243	  This unwinder is more accurate across interrupt entry frames than the
244	  frame pointer unwinder.  It also enables a 5-10% performance
245	  improvement across the entire kernel compared to frame pointers.
246
247	  Enabling this option will increase the kernel's runtime memory usage
248	  by roughly 2-4MB, depending on your kernel config.

250config UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
251	bool "Frame pointer unwinder"

253	help
254	  This option enables the frame pointer unwinder for unwinding kernel
255	  stack traces.
256
257	  The unwinder itself is fast and it uses less RAM than the ORC
258	  unwinder, but the kernel text size will grow by ~3% and the kernel's
259	  overall performance will degrade by roughly 5-10%.
260

265	help
266	  This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
267	  traces.  It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
268	  finds.  Some of the addresses it reports may be incorrect.
269
270	  While this option often produces false positives, it can still be
271	  useful in many cases.  Unlike the other unwinders, it has no runtime
272	  overhead.
