+ default y
+ 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. For normal operation,
+ it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
+ doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
+ unless you want to debug such a crash.

+ port as the boot console.

+config CMDLINE_BOOL
+ bool "Built-in kernel command line"
+ default n
+ help
+ For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that
+ by default specifies the kernel command line options. However,
+ it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the
+ default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it.
+ For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own
+ command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you
+ should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments
+ in CONFIG_CMDLINE.
+
+ The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command
+ line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default
+ command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string.
+
+ Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon
+ the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader.
+
+config CMDLINE
+ string "Default kernel command string"
+ depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
+ default ""
+ help
+ On some platforms, there is currently no way for the boot loader to
+ pass arguments to the kernel. For these platforms, and for the cases
+ when you want to add some extra options to the command line or ignore
+ the default command line, you can supply some command-line options at
+ build time by entering them here. In other cases you can specify
+ kernel args so that you don't have to set them up in board prom
+ initialization routines.
+
+ For more information, see the CMDLINE_BOOL and CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
+ options.
+
+config CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
+ bool "Built-in command line overrides firmware arguments"
+ default n
+ depends on CMDLINE_BOOL
+ help
+ By setting this option to 'Y' you will have your kernel ignore
+ command line arguments from firmware or second stage bootloader.
+ Instead, the built-in command line will be used exclusively.
+
+ Normally, you will choose 'N' here.

+ bool "Enable run-time debugging"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ help
+ If you say Y here, some debugging macros will do run-time checking.
+ If you say N here, those macros will mostly turn to no-ops. See
+ arch/mips/include/asm/debug.h for debugging macros.
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config DEBUG_ZBOOT
+ bool "Enable compressed kernel support debugging"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT
+ default n
+ help
+ If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the
+ board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select
+ SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to
+ debug it.
+
+ If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
+ can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to
+ debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as
+ arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.
+
+ After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option
+ to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
+ little.
