The ancient ppcdebug/PPCDBG mechanism is now only used in two places. First, in the hash setup code, one of the bits allows the size of the hash table to be reduced by a factor of 8 - which would be better accomplished with a command line option for that purpose. The other was a bunch of bus walking related messages in the iSeries code, which would seem to be insufficient reason to keep the mechanism. This patch removes the last traces of this mechanism. Built and booted on iSeries and pSeries POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

|

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
|
|
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|
|
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
|

If in doubt, say "N".

Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.
|

Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.
|
|
Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise
|
|
nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the
|
|
framebuffer memory).
|
|
The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon very
|
|
early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon debugger hooks.
|
|
'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set.

If you say Y here the kernel will use separate kernel stacks
|
|
for handling hard and soft interrupts. This can help avoid
|
|
overflowing the process kernel stacks.
