6 bool "KGDB: kernel debugger"
7 depends on HAVE_ARCH_KGDB
8 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERIMENTAL
10 If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the
11 kernel using gdb. It is recommended but not required, that
12 you also turn on the kernel config option
13 CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to aid in producing more reliable stack
14 backtraces in the external debugger. Documentation of
15 kernel debugger is available at http://kgdb.sourceforge.net
16 as well as in DocBook form in Documentation/DocBook/. If
21 config KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
22 tristate "KGDB: use kgdb over the serial console"
27 Share a serial console with kgdb. Sysrq-g must be used
28 to break in initially.
31 bool "KGDB: internal test suite"
34 This is a kgdb I/O module specifically designed to test
35 kgdb's internal functions. This kgdb I/O module is
36 intended to for the development of new kgdb stubs
37 as well as regression testing the kgdb internals.
38 See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for the details about
39 the tests. The most basic of this I/O module is to boot
40 a kernel boot arguments "kgdbwait kgdbts=V1F100"
42 config KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT
43 bool "KGDB: Run tests on boot"
47 Run the kgdb tests on boot up automatically without the need
48 to pass in a kernel parameter
50 config KGDB_TESTS_BOOT_STRING
51 string "KGDB: which internal kgdb tests to run"
52 depends on KGDB_TESTS_ON_BOOT
55 This is the command string to send the kgdb test suite on
56 boot. See the drivers/misc/kgdbts.c for detailed
57 information about other strings you could use beyond the
60 config KGDB_LOW_LEVEL_TRAP
61 bool "KGDB: Allow debugging with traps in notifiers"
62 depends on X86 || MIPS
65 This will add an extra call back to kgdb for the breakpoint
66 exception handler on which will will allow kgdb to step
67 through a notify handler.
70 bool "KGDB_KDB: include kdb frontend for kgdb"
73 KDB frontend for kernel
76 bool "KGDB_KDB: keyboard as input device"
77 depends on VT && KGDB_KDB
80 KDB can use a PS/2 type keyboard for an input device
