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
8c27ceff 16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

48config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
49 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
50 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
51 help
52 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
55 using "boot_delay=N".
56
57 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
58 the "loops per jiffie" value.
59 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
60 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
61 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
62 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
63 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
64 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

66config DYNAMIC_DEBUG

68 default n

70 depends on DEBUG_FS
71 help
72
73 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
74 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
75 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
76 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
77 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
78 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
79
80 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
81 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
82 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
83 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
84
85 Usage:
86
87 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
88 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
89 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
90 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
91 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
92 format for each line of the file is:
93
94 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
95
96 filename : source file of the debug statement
97 lineno : line number of the debug statement
98 module : module that contains the debug statement
99 function : function that contains the debug statement
100 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
101 format : the format used for the debug statement
102
103 From a live system:
104
105 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
106 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
107 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
108 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
109 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
110
111 Example usage:
112
113 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
114 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
115 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
116
117 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
118 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

122 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >

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

173 In addition the debug information is also compressed.

e809ab01
MW
317 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
318 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
319 additional steps to occur:
320 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
321 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
322 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 323 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01
MW
324 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
325 a larger kernel).
326 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.

67797b92 328 lose valuable information about where the mismatch was

1073 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1074 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1075 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1076 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1077 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1078 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1079 deadlock.
1080
1081 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1082 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1083
1084 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1085 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1086 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1087 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1088 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1089 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1090 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1091 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1092 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1093
1094 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1095 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1096 kernel reports nothing.
1097
1098 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1099 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1100 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1101 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1102 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1513 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from

1515 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This

BK
1864 depends on PCI && X86
1865 help
1866 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1867 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1868 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1869 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1870 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1871
1872 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1873 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1874 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1875
1876 Usage:
1877
1878 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1879 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1880
1881 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1882 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1883 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1884 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1885
1886 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1887 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2019 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2020 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2021 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2022 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2023 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2024 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

2026 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2027 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2028 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2029 users of /dev/mem.
