9config CROSSCOMPILE
10	bool "Are you using a crosscompiler"
11	help
12	  Say Y here if you are compiling the kernel on a different
13	  architecture than the one it is intended to run on.  This is just a
14	  convenience option which will select the appropriate value for
15	  the CROSS_COMPILE make variable which otherwise has to be passed on
16	  the command line from mips-linux-, mipsel-linux-, mips64-linux- and
17	  mips64el-linux- as appropriate for a particular kernel configuration.
18	  You will have to pass the value for CROSS_COMPILE manually if the
19	  name prefix for your tools is different.
20
21config CMDLINE
22	string "Default kernel command string"
23	default ""
24	help
25          On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
26          pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, you can supply
27          some command-line options at build time by entering them here.  In
28          other cases you can specify kernel args so that you don't have
29	  to set them up in board prom initialization routines.

31config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
32	bool "Enable stack utilization instrumentation"
33	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
34	help
35	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
36	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
37
38	  This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
39
40config KGDB
41	bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
42	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
43	select DEBUG_INFO
44	help
45	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS
46	  kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by
47	  several megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB,
48	  better 32 MB RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only
49	  useful for kernel hackers. If unsure, say N.
50
51config GDB_CONSOLE
52	bool "Console output to GDB"
53	depends on KGDB
54	help
55	  If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
56	  would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
57	  that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
58
59config SB1XXX_CORELIS
60	bool "Corelis Debugger"
61	depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC
62	select DEBUG_INFO
63	help
64	  Select compile flags that produce code that can be processed by the
65	  Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.
66
67config RUNTIME_DEBUG
68	bool "Enable run-time debugging"
69	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
70	help
71	  If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
72	  If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops.  See
73	  include/asm-mips/debug.h for debuging macros.
74	  If unsure, say N.
75
76config MIPS_UNCACHED
77	bool "Run uncached"
78	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP && !SGI_IP27
79	help
80	  If you say Y here there kernel will disable all CPU caches.  This will
81	  reduce the system's performance dramatically but can help finding
82	  otherwise hard to track bugs.  It can also useful if you're doing
83	  hardware debugging with a logic analyzer and need to see all traffic
84	  on the bus.
