10 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
11 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
12 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

60 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
61 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system

63 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It

65 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The

94 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
95 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
96 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
97 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

99 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

130 help
131 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
132 references from one section to another section.
e809ab01
MW
133 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
134 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
91341d4b 135 most likely result in an oops.
e809ab01
MW
136 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
137 __init, __devinit, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
d6fbfa4f 138 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
e809ab01
MW
139 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
140 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
141 additional steps to occur:
142 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
143 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
144 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 145 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01
MW
146 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
147 a larger kernel).
148 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
149 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
d6fbfa4f 150 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
91341d4b
SR
151 introduced.
152 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
e809ab01
MW
153 tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
154 source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
155 reported at least twice.
156 - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
157 the section mismatches that are reported.

573 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
574 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
575 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
576 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
577 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
578 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
579 deadlock.
580
581 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
582 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
583
584 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
585 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
586 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
587 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
588 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
589 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
590 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
591 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
592 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
593
594 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
595 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
596 kernel reports nothing.
597
598 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
599 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
600 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
601 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
602 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1030 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
1031 predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
1032 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
1033 option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
1034 the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or
1035 userland code paths which assume predetermined contiguous
1036 device number allocation.

f212ec4b
BK
1253 depends on PCI && X86
1254 help
1255 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1256 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1257 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1258 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1259 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1260
1261 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1262 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1263 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1264
1265 Usage:
1266
1267 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1268 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1269
1270 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1271 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1272 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1273 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1274
1275 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1276 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
