Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

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. For normal operation,
|
|
it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
|
|
doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
|
|
unless you want to debug such a crash.

For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
|
|
by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
|
|
it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
|
|
default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
|
|
For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
|
|
command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
|
|
should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
|
|
in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
|
|
|
|
The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
|
|
line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
|
|
command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
|
|
|
|
Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
|
|
the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.

On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
|
|
pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
|
|
when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
|
|
the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
|
|
build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
|
|
kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
|
|
initialization routines.

By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
|
|
command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.
|

Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.
|
|
|
|
Normally, you will choose 'N' here.

If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.

If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See

arch/mips/include/asm/debug.h for debugging macros.

If unsure, say N.

If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the

board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select

SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to

debug it.

If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
|
|
can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to

|
debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as

arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.

After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option

little.
