This option will slow down process creation somewhat.
-config DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
- bool "Debug page memory allocations"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- ---help---
- Unmap pages from the kernel linear mapping after free_pages().
- This results in a large slowdown, but helps to find certain types
- of memory corruptions.

config DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS
bool "Debug access to per_cpu maps"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
options. See Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt for more
details.
+config IOMMU_STRESS
+ bool "Enable IOMMU stress-test mode"
+ ---help---
+ This option disables various optimizations in IOMMU related
+ code to do real stress testing of the IOMMU code. This option
+ will cause a performance drop and should only be enabled for
+ testing.

config IOMMU_LEAK
bool "IOMMU leak tracing"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
- depends on IOMMU_DEBUG
+ depends on IOMMU_DEBUG && DMA_API_DEBUG
---help---
Add a simple leak tracer to the IOMMU code. This is useful when you
are debugging a buggy device driver that leaks IOMMU mappings.
-config MMIOTRACE
- bool "Memory mapped IO tracing"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PCI
- select TRACING
- help
- Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for
- debugging and reverse engineering. It is called from the ioremap
- implementation and works via page faults. Tracing is disabled by
- default and can be enabled at run-time.
-
- See Documentation/tracers/mmiotrace.txt.
- If you are not helping to develop drivers, say N.
-
-config MMIOTRACE_TEST
- tristate "Test module for mmiotrace"
- depends on MMIOTRACE && m
- help
- This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
- as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
- However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
-
- Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.
+config X86_DS_SELFTEST
+ bool "DS selftest"
+ default y
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ depends on X86_DS

+ Perform Debug Store selftests at boot time.

+config X86_DECODER_SELFTEST
+ bool "x86 instruction decoder selftest"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KPROBES
+ ---help---
+ Perform x86 instruction decoder selftests at build time.
+ This option is useful for checking the sanity of x86 instruction
+ decoder code.
+ If unsure, say "N".
#
# IO delay types:
If unsure, say N.
+config DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
+ bool "Strict copy size checks"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
+ ---help---
+ Enabling this option turns a certain set of sanity checks for user
+ copy operations into compile time failures.
+
+ The copy_from_user() etc checks are there to help test if there
+ are sufficient security checks on the length argument of
+ the copy operation, by having gcc prove that the argument is
+ within bounds.
+
+ If unsure, or if you run an older (pre 4.4) gcc, say N.
