44 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
45 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
46 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
47 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
48 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you

57 Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For

59 option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
60 some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
61 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
62 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
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
65 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
66 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
67 your module is.

96 # This option is on purpose disabled for now.

98 # of section mismatch warnings (< 10 for an allyesconfig build)
99 help
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)
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
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
113 function we would lose the section information and thus
114 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
115 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
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
119 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
120 introduced.
121 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
122 will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
123 source. The drawback is that we will report the same
124 mismatch at least twice.
125 - Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
126 the section mismatches reported.

357 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
358 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
359 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
360 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
361 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
362 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
363 deadlock.
364
365 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
366 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
367
368 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
369 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
370 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
371 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
372 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
373 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
374 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
375 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
376 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
377
378 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
379 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
380 kernel reports nothing.
381
382 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
383 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
384 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
385 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
386 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

665 config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
666 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
667 depends on PCI && X86
668 help
669 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
670 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
671 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
672 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
673 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
674
675 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
676 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
677 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
678
679 Usage:
680
681 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
682 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
683
684 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
685 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
686 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
687 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
688
689 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
690 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
691
