5config CROSSCOMPILE
6	bool "Are you using a crosscompiler"
7	help
8	  Say Y here if you are compiling the kernel on a different
9	  architecture than the one it is intended to run on.  This is just a
10	  convenience option which will select the appropriate value for
11	  the CROSS_COMPILE make variable which otherwise has to be passed on
12	  the command line from mips-linux-, mipsel-linux-, mips64-linux- and
13	  mips64el-linux- as appropriate for a particular kernel configuration.
14	  You will have to pass the value for CROSS_COMPILE manually if the
15	  name prefix for your tools is different.
16
17config CMDLINE
18	string "Default kernel command string"
19	default ""
20	help
21          On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
22          pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, you can supply
23          some command-line options at build time by entering them here.  In
24          other cases you can specify kernel args so that you don't have
25	  to set them up in board prom initialization routines.
26
27config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
28	bool "Enable stack utilization instrumentation"
29	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
30	help
31	  Enables the display of the minimum amount of free stack which each
32	  task has ever had available in the sysrq-T and sysrq-P debug output.
33
34	  This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
35
36config KGDB
37	bool "Remote GDB kernel debugging"
38	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
39	select DEBUG_INFO
40	help
41	  If you say Y here, it will be possible to remotely debug the MIPS
42	  kernel using gdb. This enlarges your kernel image disk size by
43	  several megabytes and requires a machine with more than 16 MB,
44	  better 32 MB RAM to avoid excessive linking time. This is only
45	  useful for kernel hackers. If unsure, say N.
46
47config GDB_CONSOLE
48	bool "Console output to GDB"
49	depends on KGDB
50	help
51	  If you are using GDB for remote debugging over a serial port and
52	  would like kernel messages to be formatted into GDB $O packets so
53	  that GDB prints them as program output, say 'Y'.
54
55config SB1XXX_CORELIS
56	bool "Corelis Debugger"
57	depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC
58	select DEBUG_INFO
59	help
60	  Select compile flags that produce code that can be processed by the
61	  Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.
62
63config RUNTIME_DEBUG
64	bool "Enable run-time debugging"
65	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
66	help
67	  If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
68	  If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops.  See
69	  include/asm-mips/debug.h for debuging macros.
70	  If unsure, say N.
71
72config MIPS_UNCACHED
73	bool "Run uncached"
74	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !SMP && !SGI_IP27
75	help
76	  If you say Y here there kernel will disable all CPU caches.  This will
77	  reduce the system's performance dramatically but can help finding
78	  otherwise hard to track bugs.  It can also useful if you're doing
79	  hardware debugging with a logic analyzer and need to see all traffic
80	  on the bus.
