 | 	help | 
 | 	  When a program crashes due to an exception, or the kernel detects | 
 | 	  an internal error, the kernel can print a not so brief message | 
 | 	  explaining what the problem was. This debugging information is | 
 | 	  useful to developers and kernel hackers when tracking down problems, | 
 | 	  but mostly meaningless to other people. This is always helpful for | 
 | 	  debugging but serves no purpose on a production system. | 
 | 	  Most people should say N here. |

 | config DEBUG_MMRS |

 | 	select DEBUG_FS | 
 | 	help | 
 | 	  Create a tree of Blackfin MMRs via the debugfs tree.  If | 
 | 	  you enable this, you will find all MMRs laid out in the | 
 | 	  /sys/kernel/debug/blackfin/ directory where you can read/write | 
 | 	  MMRs directly from userspace.  This is obviously just a debug | 
 | 	  feature. |

 | config DEBUG_HWERR | 
 | 	bool "Hardware error interrupt debugging" | 
 | 	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL | 
 | 	help | 
 | 	  When enabled, the hardware error interrupt is never disabled, and | 
 | 	  will happen immediately when an error condition occurs.  This comes | 
 | 	  at a slight cost in code size, but is necessary if you are getting | 
 | 	  hardware error interrupts and need to know where they are coming | 
 | 	  from. |

 | config DEBUG_DOUBLEFAULT | 
 | 	bool "Debug Double Faults" | 
 | 	default n | 
 | 	help | 
 | 	  If an exception is caused while executing code within the exception | 
 | 	  handler, the NMI handler, the reset vector, or in emulator mode, | 
 | 	  a double fault occurs. On the Blackfin, this is a unrecoverable | 
 | 	  event. You have two options: | 
 | 	  - RESET exactly when double fault occurs. The excepting | 
 | 	    instruction address is stored in RETX, where the next kernel | 
 | 	    boot will print it out. | 
 | 	  - Print debug message. This is much more error prone, although | 
 | 	    easier to handle. It is error prone since: | 
 | 	    - The excepting instruction is not committed. | 
 | 	    - All writebacks from the instruction are prevented. | 
 | 	    - The generated exception is not taken. | 
 | 	    - The EXCAUSE field is updated with an unrecoverable event | 
 | 	    The only way to check this is to see if EXCAUSE contains the | 
 | 	    unrecoverable event value at every exception return. By selecting | 
 | 	    this option, you are skipping over the faulting instruction, and  | 
 | 	    hoping things stay together enough to print out a debug message. | 
 |  | 
 | 	  This does add a little kernel code, but is the only method to debug | 
 | 	  double faults - if unsure say "Y" |

 | 	help | 
 | 	  Say Y here if you are getting weird unexplained errors. This will | 
 | 	  ensure that icache is what SDRAM says it should be by doing a | 
 | 	  byte wise comparison between SDRAM and instruction cache. This | 
 | 	  also relocates the irq_panic() function to L1 memory, (which is | 
 | 	  un-cached). |

 | config DEBUG_HUNT_FOR_ZERO | 
 | 	bool "Catch NULL pointer reads/writes" |

 | 	help | 
 | 	  Say Y here to catch reads/writes to anywhere in the memory range | 
 | 	  from 0x0000 - 0x0FFF (the first 4k) of memory.  This is useful in | 
 | 	  catching common programming errors such as NULL pointer dereferences. | 
 |  | 
 | 	  Misbehaving applications will be killed (generate a SEGV) while the | 
 | 	  kernel will trigger a panic. | 
 |  |

 | 	  Otherwise, there is no extra overhead. |

 | config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON |

 | 	default y | 
 | 	help | 
 | 	  All Blackfins include a Trace Unit which stores a history of the last | 
 | 	  16 changes in program flow taken by the program sequencer. The history | 
 | 	  allows the user to recreate the program sequencer’s recent path. This | 
 | 	  can be handy when an application dies - we print out the execution | 
 | 	  path of how it got to the offending instruction. | 
 |  | 
 | 	  By turning this off, you may save a tiny amount of power. |

 | 	  The trace buffer can be configured to omit recording of changes in | 
 | 	  program flow that match either the last entry or one of the last | 
 | 	  two entries. Omitting one of these entries from the record prevents | 
 | 	  the trace buffer from overflowing because of any sort of loop (for, do | 
 | 	  while, etc) in the program. | 
 |  | 
 | 	  Because zero-overhead Hardware loops are not recorded in the trace buffer, | 
 | 	  this feature can be used to prevent trace overflow from loops that | 
 | 	  are nested four deep. |

 | 	help | 
 | 	  By selecting this option, every time the 16 hardware entries in | 
 | 	  the Blackfin's HW Trace buffer are full, the kernel will move them | 
 | 	  into a software buffer, for dumping when there is an issue. This  | 
 | 	  has a great impact on performance, (an interrupt every 16 change of  | 
 | 	  flows) and should normally be turned off, except in those nasty |

 | 	  The CPLB error handler contains a lot of flow changes which can |

 | 	  space when in reality an application is buggy. |

 | 	  This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel | 
 | 	  to print messages very early in the bootup process. | 
 |  | 
 | 	  This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | 
 | 	  early before the console code is initialized. After enabling this | 
 | 	  feature, you must add "earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600" to the | 
 | 	  command line (bootargs). It is safe to say Y here in all cases, as |
