The patch titled
Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernel-hacking-menu-runtime-testing-keep-tests-together.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together
Expand the "Runtime testing" menu by including more entries inside it
instead of after it. This is just Kconfig symbol movement.
This causes the (arch-independent) Runtime tests to be presented (listed)
all in one place instead of in multiple places.

+ bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
+ depends on PCI && X86
+ help
+ If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
+ on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
+ this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
+ over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
+ specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
+
+ With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
+ firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
+ Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
+
+ Usage:
+
+ If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
+ all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
+
+ As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
+ devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
+ devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
+ the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
+
+ This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
+ in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
+
+ See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

+ This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is

+ example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

+
+ This option causes a performance degradation. Use only if you want to
