Subject: How to compile Linux kernel with -O0 flag
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 21:15:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160813211516.7a8dace1@e733> (raw)

Hello

I'm currently exploring different ways of debugging Linux kernel. And I
noticed that for many variables gdb displays <optimized out>. Also from
experience of debugging ring3 code I know that sometimes debugger may
act crazy unless -O0 was used.

Apparently there is no corresponding option in `make menuconfig`. So
how do you solve this problem? Just `CFLAGS=-O0 make ...` or somehow
else? I wonder what is the "right" way of doing it because you know,
it's a kernel, it can accidentally break something unless you are
careful :)
