Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.
|
||||
Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.
|
||||
Make sure to enable also CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT on Macs. Otherwise
|
||||
nothing will appear on the screen (xmon writes directly to the
|
||||
framebuffer memory).
|
||||
The cmdline option 'xmon' or 'xmon=early' will drop into xmon very
|
||||
early during boot. 'xmon=on' will just enable the xmon debugger hooks.
|
||||
'xmon=off' will disable the debugger hooks if CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT is set.

help
|
||||
xmon is normally disabled unless booted with 'xmon=on'.
|
||||
Use 'xmon=off' to disable xmon init during runtime.
