From f0630fff54a239efbbd89faf6a62da071ef1ff78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:38:14 -0700 Subject: SLUB: support slub_debug on by default Add a new configuration variable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a kernel parameter. Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying slub_debug=- as a kernel parameter. Dave Jones wanted this feature. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118072189913045&w=2 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: clean up switch statement] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- lib/Kconfig.debug | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'lib/Kconfig.debug') diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug index fab32a28637..640844024ff 100644 --- a/lib/Kconfig.debug +++ b/lib/Kconfig.debug @@ -152,6 +152,19 @@ config DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK bool "Memory leak debugging" depends on DEBUG_SLAB +config SLUB_DEBUG_ON + bool "SLUB debugging on by default" + depends on SLUB && SLUB_DEBUG + default n + help + Boot with debugging on by default.
