Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed
memory. This can make kmalloc/kfree-intensive workloads much slower.

This allows mutex semantics violations and mutex related deadlocks
If unsure, say N.
-config DEBUG_IOREMAP
- bool "Enable ioremap() debugging"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PARISC
- help
- Enabling this option will cause the kernel to distinguish between
- ioremapped and physical addresses. It will print a backtrace (at
- most one every 10 seconds), hopefully allowing you to see which
- drivers need work. Fixing all these problems is a prerequisite
- for turning on USE_HPPA_IOREMAP. The warnings are harmless;
- the kernel has enough information to fix the broken drivers
- automatically, but we'd like to make it more efficient by not
- having to do that.

debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and
some architectures or if you use external debuggers.
If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N.

+ If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly larger
+ but not slower, and it will give very useful debugging information.
+ If you don't debug the kernel, you can say N, but we may not be able
+ to solve problems without frame unwind information or frame pointers.

+config FORCED_INLINING
+ bool "Force gcc to inline functions marked 'inline'"
+ depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
+ default y
+ help
+ This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
+ developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
+ do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
+ compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
+ disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
+ this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can
+ become the default in the future, until then this option is there to
+ test gcc for this.
