menu "System Monitoring Options"
config BOOT_TIME_MEASUREMENT
bool "Boot time measurements"
depends on ARCH_POSIX || ARM || (X86 && APIC_TIMER && APIC_TIMER_TSC)
help
This option enables the recording of timestamps during system boot.
config STATS
bool "Statistics support"
help
Enable per-module event counters for troubleshooting, maintenance,
and usage monitoring. Statistics can be retrieved with the mcumgr
management subsystem.
config STATS_NAMES
bool "Statistic names"
depends on STATS
help
Include a full name string for each statistic in the build. If this
setting is disabled, statistics are assigned generic names of the
form "s0", "s1", etc. Enabling this setting simplifies debugging,
but results in a larger code size.
endmenu
menu "Debugging Options"
config DEBUG
bool "Build kernel with debugging enabled"
help
Build a kernel suitable for debugging. Right now, this option
only disables optimization, more debugging variants can be selected
from here to allow more debugging.
config TRACING
bool "Enabling Tracing"
help
Enable system tracing. This requires a backend such as SEGGER
Systemview to be enabled as well.
config ASAN
bool "Build with address sanitizer"
depends on ARCH_POSIX
help
Builds Zephyr with Address Sanitizer enabled. This is currently
only supported by boards based on the posix architecture, and requires a
recent-ish compiler with the ``-fsanitize=address`` command line option,
and the libasan library.
config UBSAN
bool "Build with undefined behavior sanitizer"
depends on ARCH_POSIX
help
Builds Zephyr with Undefined Behavior Sanitizer enabled.
This is currently only supported by boards based on the posix
architecture, and requires a recent-ish compiler with the
``-fsanitize=undefined`` command line option.
config STACK_USAGE
bool "Generate stack usage information"
help
Generate an extra file that specifies the maximum amount of stack used,
on a per-function basis.
config STACK_SENTINEL
bool "Enable stack sentinel"
select THREAD_STACK_INFO
depends on !USERSPACE
help
Store a magic value at the lowest addresses of a thread's stack.
Periodically check that this value is still present and kill the
thread gracefully if it isn't. This is currently checked in four
places:
1) Upon any context switch for the outgoing thread
2) Any hardware interrupt that doesn't context switch, the check is
performed for the interrupted thread
3) When a thread returns from its entry point
4) When a thread calls k_yield() but doesn't context switch
This feature doesn't prevent corruption and the system may be
in an unusable state. However, given the bizarre behavior associated
with stack overflows, knowledge that this is happening is very
useful.
This feature is intended for those systems which lack hardware support
for stack overflow protection, or have insufficient system resources
to use that hardware support.
config PRINTK
bool "Send printk() to console"
default y
help
This option directs printk() debugging output to the supported
console device, rather than suppressing the generation
of printk() output entirely. Output is sent immediately, without
any mutual exclusion or buffering.
config PRINTK_BUFFER_SIZE
int "printk() buffer size"
depends on PRINTK
depends on USERSPACE
default 32
help
If userspace is enabled, printk() calls are buffered so that we do
not have to make a system call for every character emitted. Specify
the size of this buffer.
config EARLY_CONSOLE
bool "Send stdout at the earliest stage possible"
help
This option will enable stdout as early as possible, for debugging
purpose. For instance, in case of STDOUT_CONSOLE being set it will
initialize its driver earlier than normal, in order to get the stdout
sent through the console at the earliest stage possible.
config ASSERT
bool "Enable __ASSERT() macro"
default y if TEST
help
This enables the __ASSERT() macro in the kernel code. If an assertion
fails, the policy for what to do is controlled by the implementation
of the assert_post_action() function, which by default will trigger
a fatal error.
Disabling this option will cause assertions to compile to nothing,
improving performance and system footprint.
config ASSERT_LEVEL
int "__ASSERT() level"
default 2
range 0 2
depends on ASSERT
help
This option specifies the assertion level used by the __ASSERT()
macro. It can be set to one of three possible values:
Level 0: off
Level 1: on + warning in every file that includes __assert.h
Level 2: on + no warning
config FORCE_NO_ASSERT
bool "Force-disable no assertions"
help
This boolean option disables Zephyr assertion testing even
in circumstances (sanitycheck) where it is enabled via
CFLAGS and not Kconfig. Added solely to be able to work
around compiler bugs for specific tests.
config ASSERT_NO_FILE_INFO
bool "Disable file info for asserts"
help
This option removes the name and the path of the source file
in which the assertion occurred. Enabling this will save
target code space, and thus may be necessary for tiny targets.
config OBJECT_TRACING
bool "Kernel object tracing"
help
This option enable the feature for tracing kernel objects. This option
is for debug purposes and increases the memory footprint of the kernel.
config OVERRIDE_FRAME_POINTER_DEFAULT
bool "Override compiler defaults for -fomit-frame-pointer"
help
Omitting the frame pointer prevents the compiler from putting the stack
frame pointer into a register. Saves a few instructions in function
prologues/epilogues and frees up a register for general-purpose use,
which can provide good performance improvements on register-constrained
architectures like x86. On some architectures (including x86) omitting
frame pointers impedes debugging as local variables are harder to
locate. At -O1 and above gcc will enable -fomit-frame-pointer
automatically but only if the architecture does not require if for
effective debugging.
Choose Y if you want to override the default frame pointer behavior
of your compiler, otherwise choose N.
config OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
bool "Omit frame pointer"
depends on OVERRIDE_FRAME_POINTER_DEFAULT
help
Choose Y for best performance. On some architectures (including x86)
this will favor code size and performance over debugability.
Choose N in you wish to retain the frame pointer. This option may
be useful if your application uses runtime backtracing and does not
support parsing unwind tables.
If unsure, disable OVERRIDE_FRAME_POINTER_DEFAULT to allow the compiler
to adopt sensible defaults for your architecture.

# Generic Debugging Options
#
config DEBUG_INFO
bool "Enable system debugging information"
help
This option enables the addition of various information that can be
used by debuggers in debugging the system, or enable additional
debugging information to be reported at runtime.
config EXCEPTION_STACK_TRACE
bool "Attempt to print stack traces upon exceptions"
default y
depends on PRINTK
depends on DEBUG_INFO
depends on !OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
help
If the architecture fatal handling code supports it, attempt to
print a stack trace of function memory addresses when an
exception is reported.
#
# Miscellaneous debugging options
#
config OPENOCD_SUPPORT
bool "OpenOCD support [EXPERIMENTAL]"
select THREAD_MONITOR
select THREAD_NAME
help
This option exports an array of offsets to kernel structs, used by
OpenOCD to determine the state of running threads. (This option
selects CONFIG_THREAD_MONITOR, so all of its caveats are implied.)
config TRACING_CPU_STATS
bool "Enable CPU usage tracing"
select THREAD_MONITOR
select THREAD_STACK_INFO
select TRACING
help
Module provides information about percent of CPU usage based on
tracing hooks for threads switching in and out, interrupts enters
and exits (only distinguishes between idle thread, non idle thread
and scheduler). Use provided API or enable automatic logging to
get values.
config TRACING_CPU_STATS_LOG
bool "Enable current CPU usage logging"
depends on TRACING_CPU_STATS
help
Periodically displays information about CPU usage.
config TRACING_CPU_STATS_INTERVAL
int "Logging interval for CPU measurements [ms]"
default 2000
depends on TRACING_CPU_STATS_LOG
help
Time period of displaying information about CPU usage.
config TRACING_CTF
bool "Tracing via Common Trace Format support"
select THREAD_MONITOR
select TRACING
help
Enable tracing to a Common Trace Format stream. In order to use it a
CTF bottom layer should be selected, such as TRACING_CTF_BOTTOM_POSIX.
config TRACING_CTF_BOTTOM_POSIX
bool "CTF backend for the native_posix port, using a file in the host filesystem"
depends on TRACING_CTF
depends on ARCH_POSIX
help
Enable POSIX backend for CTF tracing. It will output the CTF stream to a
file using fwrite.
