1da177e4 LT |

6 | Selecting this option causes timing information to be | |
7 | included in printk output. This allows you to measure | |
8 | the interval between kernel operations, including bootup | |
9 | operations. This is useful for identifying long delays | |
10 | in kernel startup. | |

31 | help |
32 | If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even | |
33 | if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you | |
34 | will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system | |
35 | immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished | |
36 | by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It | |
37 | also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you | |
38 | send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The | |
39 | keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y | |
40 | unless you really know what this hack does. | |

46 | Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For | |
47 | that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This | |
48 | option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case | |
49 | some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you | |
50 | encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually | |
51 | using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using | |
52 | this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the | |
53 | wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a | |
54 | mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why | |
55 | you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for | |
56 | your module is. | |

82 | config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH |
83 | bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis" | |
84 | default n | |
85 | help | |
86 | The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal | |
87 | references from one section to another section. | |
88 | Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections | |
89 | and any use of code/data previously in these sections will | |
90 | most likely result in an oops. | |
91 | In the code functions and variables are annotated with | |
92 | __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h) | |
93 | which result in the code/data being placed in specific sections. | |
94 | The section mismatch anaylsis are always done after a full | |
95 | kernel build but enabling this options will in addition | |
96 | do the following: | |
97 | - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc | |
98 | When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init | |
99 | function we would loose the section information and thus | |
100 | the analysis would not catch the illegal reference. | |
101 | This options tell gcc to inline less but will also | |
102 | result in a larger kernel. | |
103 | - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o | |
104 | When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we | |
105 | looses valueable information about where the mismatch was | |
106 | introduced. | |
107 | Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file | |
108 | will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the | |
109 | source. The drawback is that we will report the same | |
110 | mismatch at least twice. | |

282 | help | |
283 | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking | |
284 | that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically | |
285 | correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and | |
286 | not yet triggered) combination of observed locking | |
287 | sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an | |
288 | arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a | |
289 | deadlock. | |
290 | ||
291 | In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking | |
292 | related deadlocks before they actually occur. | |
293 | ||
294 | The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a | |
295 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many | |
296 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed | |
297 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on | |
298 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible | |
299 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario | |
300 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be | |
301 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that | |
302 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). | |
303 | ||
304 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as | |
305 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the | |
306 | kernel reports nothing. | |
307 | ||
308 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes | |
309 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these | |
310 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and | |
311 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an | |
312 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. | |

453 | default y | |
454 | help | |
455 | This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions | |
456 | developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to | |
457 | do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of | |
458 | compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and | |
459 | disabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully | |
460 | this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc4 to make the decision can | |
461 | become the default in the future, until then this option is there to | |
462 | test gcc for this. | |

465 | bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds" | |
466 | depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY | |
467 | help | |
468 | This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages | |
469 | by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is | |
470 | specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line, | |
471 | using "boot_delay=N". | |
472 | ||
473 | It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset | |
474 | the "loops per jiffie" value. | |
475 | See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your | |
476 | system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N". | |
477 | NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems. | |
478 | I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up. | |
479 | BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP to detect | |
480 | what it believes to be lockup conditions. | |
