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

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.

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).

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.

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

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

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

Some pieces of the kernel contain a lot of flow changes which can

the hardware trace may indicate that the problem lies in kernel

space when in reality an application is buggy.

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.
