7 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
8 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
9 call and at the console.
10
11 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
12 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
13 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
14
15 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
8c27ceff 16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

48config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
49 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
50 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
51 help
52 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
55 using "boot_delay=N".
56
57 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
58 the "loops per jiffie" value.
59 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
60 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
61 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
62 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
63 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
64 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

66config DYNAMIC_DEBUG

70 depends on DEBUG_FS
71 help
72
73 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
74 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
75 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
76 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
77 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
78 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
79
80 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
81 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
82 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
83 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
84
85 Usage:
86
87 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
88 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
89 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
90 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
91 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
92 format for each line of the file is:
93
94 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
95
96 filename : source file of the debug statement
97 lineno : line number of the debug statement
98 module : module that contains the debug statement
99 function : function that contains the debug statement
100 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
101 format : the format used for the debug statement
102
103 From a live system:
104
105 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
106 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
107 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
108 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
109 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
110
111 Example usage:
112
113 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
114 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
115 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

161 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
162 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
163 DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.

312 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
313 any use of code/data previously in these sections would

0db0628d 316 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
d6fbfa4f 317 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
e809ab01
MW
318 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
319 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
320 additional steps to occur:
321 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
322 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
323 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 324 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01
MW
325 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
326 a larger kernel).
327 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.

67797b92 329 lose valuable information about where the mismatch was

1087 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1088 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1089 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1090 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1091 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1092 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1093 deadlock.
1094
1095 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1096 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1097
1098 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1099 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1100 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1101 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1102 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1103 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1104 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1105 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1106 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1107
1108 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1109 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1110 kernel reports nothing.
1111
1112 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1113 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1114 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1115 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1116 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

f212ec4b
BK
1739 depends on PCI && X86
1740 help
1741 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1742 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1743 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1744 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1745 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1746
1747 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1748 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1749 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1750
1751 Usage:
1752
1753 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1754 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1755
1756 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1757 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1758 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1759 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1760
1761 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1762 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
