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

21 config PRINTK_CALLER
22 bool "Show caller information on printks"
23 depends on PRINTK
24 help
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
36 sysfs interface.

83 that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
84 priority.
85

95 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
96 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
97 using "boot_delay=N".
98
99 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100 the "loops per jiffie" value.
101 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
102 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
103 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
104 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
105 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect

116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
122
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
127
128 Usage:
129
130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
131 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
132 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
133 making use of this feature.
134 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
135 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
136 format for each line of the file is:
137
138 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
139
140 filename : source file of the debug statement
141 lineno : line number of the debug statement
142 module : module that contains the debug statement
143 function : function that contains the debug statement
144 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145 format : the format used for the debug statement
146
147 From a live system:
148

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

260 reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,

262 files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
263 In addition the debug information is also compressed.
264

390 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
391 most likely result in an oops.
392 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with

398 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
399 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init

1247 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1248 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1249 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1250 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1251 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1252 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1253 deadlock.
1254
1255 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1256 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1257
1258 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1259 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1260 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1261 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1262 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1263 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1264 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1265 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1266 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1267
1268 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1269 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1270 kernel reports nothing.
1271
1272 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1273 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1274 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1275 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an

2484 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2485 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2486 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2487 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
