This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR
register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a
new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the
PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch.
This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this
register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

|
This option controls verbose debugging information which can be
|
|
printed when the kernel detects an internal error. This debugging
|
|
information is useful to kernel hackers when tracking down problems,
|
|
but mostly meaningless to other people. It's safe to say Y unless
|
|
you are concerned with the code size or don't want to see these
|
|
messages.

Say Y here if you want to have an early console using the
|
|
earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] kernel parameter. It
|
|
is assumed that the early console device has been initialised
|
|
by the boot loader prior to starting the Linux kernel.

config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR

bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register"
|

help
|
|
Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to
|
|
the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some additional
|
|
instructions during context switch. Say Y here only if you are
|
|
planning to use hardware trace tools with this kernel.
