+ bool "Initialize Xtensa MMU inside the Linux kernel code"
+ default y
+ help
+ Earlier version initialized the MMU in the exception vector
+ before jumping to _startup in head.S and had an advantage that
+ it was possible to place a software breakpoint at 'reset' and
+ then enter your normal kernel breakpoints once the MMU was mapped
+ to the kernel mappings (0XC0000000).
+
+ This unfortunately doesn't work for U-Boot and likley also wont
+ work for using KEXEC to have a hot kernel ready for doing a
+ KDUMP.
+
+ So now the MMU is initialized in head.S but it's necessary to
+ use hardware breakpoints (gdb 'hbreak' cmd) to break at _startup.
+ xt-gdb can't place a Software Breakpoint in the 0XD region prior
+ to mapping the MMU and after mapping even if the area of low memory
+ was mapped gdb wouldn't remove the breakpoint on hitting it as the
+ PC wouldn't match. Since Hardware Breakpoints are recommended for
+ Linux configurations it seems reasonable to just assume they exist
+ and leave this older mechanism for unfortunate souls that choose
+ not to follow Tensilica's recommendation.
+
+ Selecting this will cause U-Boot to set the KERNEL Load and Entry
+ address at 0x00003000 instead of the mapped std of 0xD0003000.
+
+ If in doubt, say Y.

- If you enabled support for /proc file system then the file

-
- $ cd /usr/src/linux ; gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore

- This is especially useful if you have compiled the kernel with the
- "-g" option to preserve debugging information. It is mainly used
