9 help
10 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
11 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
12 call and at the console.
13
14 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
15 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
16 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
17
18 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
19 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
27 to every message.
28
29 This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
30 concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
31 interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
32 line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
33
34 Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
35 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or

84 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
85 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
86 using "boot_delay=N".
87
88 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
89 the "loops per jiffie" value.
90 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

104
105 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
106 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
107 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
108 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
109 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
110 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
111
112 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
113 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
114 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
115 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
116
117 Usage:
118
119 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
120 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
121 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
122 making use of this feature.
123 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
124 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
125 format for each line of the file is:
126
127 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
128
129 filename : source file of the debug statement
130 lineno : line number of the debug statement
131 module : module that contains the debug statement
132 function : function that contains the debug statement
133 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
134 format : the format used for the debug statement
135
136 From a live system:
137
138 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
139 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
140 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
141 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
142 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
143
144 Example usage:
145
146 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
147 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
148 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

153
154 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
155 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
156 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
157
158 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

222 need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
223 be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
224 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that

252 In addition the debug information is also compressed.
253

350 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
351 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
352 most likely result in an oops.
353 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
354 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
355 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
356 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
357 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
358 additional step to occur:
359 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
360 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
361 function, we would lose the section information and thus

1197 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1198 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1199 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1200 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1201 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1202 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1203 deadlock.
1204
1205 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1206 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1207
1208 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1209 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1210 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1211 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1212 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1213 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1214 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1215 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1216 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1217
1218 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1219 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1220 kernel reports nothing.
1221
1222 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1223 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1224 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1225 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1226 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1447 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1455 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

2362 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
2363 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
2364 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
2365
2366 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2367 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2368 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2369 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2370 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
