54 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
55 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
56 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
57 using "boot_delay=N".
58
59 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
60 the "loops per jiffie" value.
61 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
62 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
63 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

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

1057 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1058 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1059 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1060 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1061 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1062 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1063 deadlock.
1064
1065 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1066 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1067
1068 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1069 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1070 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1071 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1072 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1073 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1074 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1075 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1076 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1077
1078 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1079 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1080 kernel reports nothing.
1081
1082 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1083 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1084 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1085 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1086 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1264 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1265 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1266 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1267 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1268 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1269 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1270 it.
1271
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001272 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1273 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1274 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1275 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1276 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1277 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1278 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1279 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1280 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1281
1282 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1283 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
1284 those developers interersted in improving the security of

1299 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1300 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1301 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1302 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1303 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1304 unregistered.
1305
1306 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1307 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1308 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1309
1310 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1311 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1613 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1614 depends on PCI && X86
1615 help
1616 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1617 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1618 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1619 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1620 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1621
1622 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1623 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1624 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1625
1626 Usage:
1627
1628 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1629 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1630
1631 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1632 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1633 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1634 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1635
1636 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1637 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1649

1651 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1652 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

1991 data corruption in kernel memory structures when they get checked
1992 for validity.

2011 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2012 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2013 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2014 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2015 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2016 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2017
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002018 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2019 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2020 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2021 users of /dev/mem.

2029 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2030 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2031 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2032 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.
2033
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002034 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002035 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2036 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2037 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
