80 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
81 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
82 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
83 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
84 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
85 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

91341d4b
SR
116 help
117 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
118 references from one section to another section.
119 Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
120 and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
121 most likely result in an oops.
122 In the code functions and variables are annotated with
123 __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
d6fbfa4f
GU
124 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
125 The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
126 kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
91341d4b
SR
127 do the following:
128 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
129 When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
d6fbfa4f 130 function we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 131 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
d6fbfa4f 132 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
91341d4b
SR
133 result in a larger kernel.
134 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
135 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
d6fbfa4f 136 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
91341d4b
SR
137 introduced.
138 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
139 will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
140 source. The drawback is that we will report the same
141 mismatch at least twice.

518 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
519 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
520 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
521 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
522 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
523 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
524 deadlock.
525
526 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
527 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
528
529 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
530 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
531 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
532 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
533 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
534 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
535 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
536 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
537 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
538
539 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
540 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
541 kernel reports nothing.
542
543 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
544 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
545 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
546 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
547 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

f212ec4b
BK
1078 depends on PCI && X86
1079 help
1080 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1081 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1082 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1083 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1084 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1085
1086 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1087 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1088 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1089
1090 Usage:
1091
1092 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1093 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1094
1095 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1096 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1097 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1098 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1099
1100 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1101 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
