|
||
When a program crashes due to an exception, or the kernel detects
|
||
an internal error, the kernel can print a not so brief message
|
||
explaining what the problem was. This debugging information is
|
||
useful to developers and kernel hackers when tracking down problems,
|
||
but mostly meaningless to other people. This is always helpful for
|
||
debugging but serves no purpose on a production system.
|
||
Most people should say N here.

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 EXACT_HWERR
|
||
bool "Try to make Hardware errors exact"
|
||
depends on DEBUG_HWERR
|
||
help
|
||
By default, the Blackfin hardware errors are not exact - the error
|
||
be reported multiple cycles after the error happens. This delay
|
||
can cause the wrong application, or even the kernel to receive a
|
||
signal to be killed. If you are getting HW errors in your system,
|
||
try turning this on to ensure they are at least coming from the
|
||
proper thread.
|
||
|
||
On production systems, it is safe (and a small optimization) to say N.

config DEBUG_DOUBLEFAULT
|

bool "Debug Double Faults"
|
||
default n
|
||
help
|
||
If an exception is caused while executing code within the exception
|
||
handler, the NMI handler, the reset vector, or in emulator mode,
|
||
a double fault occurs. On the Blackfin, this is a unrecoverable
|
||
event. You have two options:
|
||
- RESET exactly when double fault occurs. The excepting
|
||
instruction address is stored in RETX, where the next kernel
|
||
boot will print it out.
|
||
- Print debug message. This is much more error prone, although
|
||
easier to handle. It is error prone since:
|
||
- The excepting instruction is not committed.
|
||
- All writebacks from the instruction are prevented.
|
||
- The generated exception is not taken.
|
||
- The EXCAUSE field is updated with an unrecoverable event
|
||
The only way to check this is to see if EXCAUSE contains the
|
||
unrecoverable event value at every exception return. By selecting
|
||
this option, you are skipping over the faulting instruction, and
|
||
hoping things stay together enough to print out a debug message.
|
||
|
||
This does add a little kernel code, but is the only method to debug
|
||
double faults - if unsure say "Y"

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.

|

The trace buffer can be configured to omit recording of changes in

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

By selecting this option, every time the 16 hardware entries in

into a software buffer, for dumping when there is an issue. This

flows) and should normally be turned off, except in those nasty

The CPLB error handler contains a lot of flow changes which can

This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel

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.
