  	depends on SYS_HAS_EARLY_PRINTK
  	default y
  	help
  	  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.

  config CMDLINE_BOOL
  	bool "Built-in kernel command line"
  	default n
  	help
  	  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.

  config CMDLINE
  	string "Default kernel command string"

  	depends on CMDLINE_BOOL

  	default ""
  	help

  	  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.
  
  	  For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
  	  options.
  
  config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
  	bool "Built-in command line overrides firware arguments"
  	default n
  	depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
  	help
  	  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.

  config DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
  	bool "Check for stack overflows"
  	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  	help
  	  This option will cause messages to be printed if free stack space
  	  drops below a certain limit(2GB on MIPS). The debugging option
  	  provides another way to check stack overflow happened on kernel mode
  	  stack usually caused by nested interruption.

  config SMTC_IDLE_HOOK_DEBUG

  	bool "Enable additional debug checks before going into CPU idle loop"
  	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && MIPS_MT_SMTC
  	help
  	  This option enables Enable additional debug checks before going into
  	  CPU idle loop.  For details on these checks, see
  	  arch/mips/kernel/smtc.c.  This debugging option result in significant
  	  overhead so should be disabled in production kernels.

  config SB1XXX_CORELIS
  	bool "Corelis Debugger"
  	depends on SIBYTE_SB1xxx_SOC
  	select DEBUG_INFO
  	help
  	  Select compile flags that produce code that can be processed by the
  	  Corelis mksym utility and UDB Emulator.
  
  config RUNTIME_DEBUG
  	bool "Enable run-time debugging"
  	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  	help
  	  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.

  config DEBUG_ZBOOT
  	bool "Enable compressed kernel support debugging"
  	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT
  	default n
  	help
  	  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
  	  to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
  	  little.

  config SPINLOCK_TEST
  	bool "Enable spinlock timing tests in debugfs"
  	depends on DEBUG_FS
  	default n
  	help
  	  Add several files to the debugfs to test spinlock speed.
