63 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
64 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

100 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
101 references from one section to another section.
102 Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
103 and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
104 most likely result in an oops.
105 In the code functions and variables are annotated with
106 __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
d6fbfa4f
GU
107 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
108 The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
109 kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
91341d4b
SR
110 do the following:
111 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
112 When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
d6fbfa4f 113 function we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 114 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
d6fbfa4f 115 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
91341d4b
SR
116 result in a larger kernel.
117 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
118 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
d6fbfa4f 119 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
91341d4b
SR
120 introduced.
121 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file

333 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
334 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
335 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
336 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
337 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
338 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
339 deadlock.
340
341 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
342 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
343
344 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
345 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
346 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
347 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
348 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
349 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
350 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
351 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
352 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
353
354 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
355 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
356 kernel reports nothing.
357
358 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
359 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
360 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
361 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
362 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

521 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
522 the "loops per jiffie" value.
523 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
524 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
525 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
526 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
527 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP to detect
528 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

080de8c2 660 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
f212ec4b
BK
661 depends on PCI && X86
662 help
663 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
664 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
665 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
666 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
667 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
668
669 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
670 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
671 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
672
673 Usage:
674
675 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
676 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
677
678 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
679 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
680 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
681 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
682
683 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
684 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
