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".

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

1076 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1077 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1078 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1079 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1080 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1081 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1082 deadlock.
1083
1084 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1085 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1086
1087 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1088 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1089 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1090 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1091 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1092 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1093 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1094 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1095 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1096
1097 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1098 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1099 kernel reports nothing.
1100
1101 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1102 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1103 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1104 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1105 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1229 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1230 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1231 unregistered.
1232
1233 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1234 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1235 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1236
1237 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1238 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1239 kind of kobject release bug.

Bernhard Kaindlf212ec42008-01-30 13:34:11 +01001688 depends on PCI && X86
1689 help
1690 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1691 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1692 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1693 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1694 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1695
1696 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1697 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1698 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1699
1700 Usage:
1701
1702 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1703 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1704
1705 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1706 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1707 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1708 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1709
1710 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1711 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1712
1713 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1724 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is

1726 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
