+config DEBUG_MMRS
+ bool "Generate Blackfin MMR tree"
+ select DEBUG_FS
+ help
+ Create a tree of Blackfin MMRs via the debugfs tree. If
+ you enable this, you will find all MMRs laid out in the
+ /sys/kernel/debug/blackfin/ directory where you can read/write
+ MMRs directly from userspace. This is obviously just a debug
+ feature.
+
+config DEBUG_HWERR
+ bool "Hardware error interrupt debugging"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ When enabled, the hardware error interrupt is never disabled, and
+ will happen immediately when an error condition occurs. This comes
+ at a slight cost in code size, but is necessary if you are getting
+ hardware error interrupts and need to know where they are coming
+ from.
+
+config DEBUG_ICACHE_CHECK
+ bool "Check Instruction cache coherency"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ depends on DEBUG_HWERR
+ help
+ Say Y here if you are getting weird unexplained errors. This will
+ ensure that icache is what SDRAM says it should be by doing a
+ byte wise comparison between SDRAM and instruction cache. This
+ also relocates the irq_panic() function to L1 memory, (which is
+ un-cached).
+
+config DEBUG_HUNT_FOR_ZERO
+ bool "Catch NULL pointer reads/writes"
+ default y
+ help
+ Say Y here to catch reads/writes to anywhere in the memory range
+ from 0x0000 - 0x0FFF (the first 4k) of memory. This is useful in
+ catching common programming errors such as NULL pointer dereferences.
+
+ Misbehaving applications will be killed (generate a SEGV) while the
+ kernel will trigger a panic.
+
+ Enabling this option will take up an extra entry in CPLB table.
+ Otherwise, there is no extra overhead.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+ bool "Turn on Blackfin's Hardware Trace"
+ default y
+ help
+ All Blackfins include a Trace Unit which stores a history of the last
+ 16 changes in program flow taken by the program sequencer. The history
+ allows the user to recreate the program sequencer’s recent path. This
+ can be handy when an application dies - we print out the execution
+ path of how it got to the offending instruction.
+
+ By turning this off, you may save a tiny amount of power.
+
+choice
+ prompt "Omit loop Tracing"
+ default DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_OFF
+ depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+ help
+ The trace buffer can be configured to omit recording of changes in
+ program flow that match either the last entry or one of the last
+ two entries. Omitting one of these entries from the record prevents
+ the trace buffer from overflowing because of any sort of loop (for, do
+ while, etc) in the program.
+
+ Because zero-overhead Hardware loops are not recorded in the trace buffer,
+ this feature can be used to prevent trace overflow from loops that
+ are nested four deep.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_OFF
+ bool "Trace all Loops"
+ help
+ The trace buffer records all changes of flow
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_ONE
+ bool "Compress single-level loops"
+ help
+ The trace buffer does not record single loops - helpful if trace
+ is spinning on a while or do loop.
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_COMPRESSION_TWO
+ bool "Compress two-level loops"
+ help
+ The trace buffer does not record loops two levels deep. Helpful if
+ the trace is spinning in a nested loop

+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND
+ bool "Expand Trace Buffer greater than 16 entries"
+ depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+ default n
+ help
+ By selecting this option, every time the 16 hardware entries in
+ the Blackfin's HW Trace buffer are full, the kernel will move them
+ into a software buffer, for dumping when there is an issue. This
+ has a great impact on performance, (an interrupt every 16 change of
+ flows) and should normally be turned off, except in those nasty
+ debugging sessions
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND_LEN
+ int "Size of Trace buffer (in power of 2k)"
+ range 0 4
+ depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_EXPAND
+ default 1
+ help
+ This sets the size of the software buffer that the trace information
+ is kept in.
+ 0 for (2^0) 1k, or 256 entries,
+ 1 for (2^1) 2k, or 512 entries,
+ 2 for (2^2) 4k, or 1024 entries,
+ 3 for (2^3) 8k, or 2048 entries,
+ 4 for (2^4) 16k, or 4096 entries
+
+config DEBUG_BFIN_NO_KERN_HWTRACE
+ bool "Trace user apps (turn off hwtrace in kernel)"
+ depends on DEBUG_BFIN_HWTRACE_ON
+ default n
+ help
+ Some pieces of the kernel contain a lot of flow changes which can
+ quickly fill up the hardware trace buffer. When debugging crashes,
+ the hardware trace may indicate that the problem lies in kernel
+ space when in reality an application is buggy.
+
+ Say Y here to disable hardware tracing in some known "jumpy" pieces
+ of code so that the trace buffer will extend further back.
+
+config EARLY_PRINTK
+ bool "Early printk"
+ default n
+ 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. After enabling this
+ feature, you must add "earlyprintk=serial,uart0,57600" to the
+ command line (bootargs). It is safe to say Y here in all cases, as
+ all of this lives in the init section and is thrown away after the
+ kernel boots completely.
+
+config DUAL_CORE_TEST_MODULE
+ tristate "Dual Core Test Module"
+ depends on (BF561)
+ default n
+ help
+ Say Y here to build-in dual core test module for dual core test.
+
+config CPLB_INFO
+ bool "Display the CPLB information"
+ help
+ Display the CPLB information.
+
+config ACCESS_CHECK
+ bool "Check the user pointer address"
+ default y
+ help
+ Usually the pointer transfer from user space is checked to see if its
+ address is in the kernel space.
+
+ Say N here to disable that check to improve the performance.
