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
16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

29config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
30 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
31 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
32 help
33 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
34 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
35 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
36 using "boot_delay=N".
37
38 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
39 the "loops per jiffie" value.
40 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
41 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
42 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
43 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
44 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
45 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

51 depends on DEBUG_FS
52 help
53
54 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
55 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
56 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
57 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
58 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
59 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
60
61 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
62 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
63 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
64 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
65
66 Usage:
67
68 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
69 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
70 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
71 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
72 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
73 format for each line of the file is:
74
75 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
76
77 filename : source file of the debug statement
78 lineno : line number of the debug statement
79 module : module that contains the debug statement
80 function : function that contains the debug statement
81 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
82 format : the format used for the debug statement
83
84 From a live system:
85
86 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
87 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
88 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
89 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
90 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
91
92 Example usage:
93
94 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
95 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
96 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
97
98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
100 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
101
102 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
103 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
104 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
105
106 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
107 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
108 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
109
110 // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

141 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
142 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full

152 because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo

154 In addition the debug information is also compressed.
155
156 Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.

e809ab01

295 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
296 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
297 additional steps to occur:
298 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
299 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
300 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 301 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01

302 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
303 a larger kernel).

1018 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1019 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1020 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1021 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1022 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1023 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1024 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1025 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1026
1027 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1028 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1029 kernel reports nothing.
1030
1031 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1032 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1033 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1034 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1035 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

f212ec4b
BK
1768 depends on PCI && X86
1769 help
1770 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1771 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1772 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1773 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1774 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1775
1776 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1777 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1778 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1779
1780 Usage:
1781
1782 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1783 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1784
1785 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1786 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1787 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1788 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1789
1790 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1791 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
