66 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
67 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
68 using "boot_delay=N".

84 help
85
86 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
87 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
88 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
89 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
90 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
91 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
92
93 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
94 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
95 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
96 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
97
98 Usage:
99
100 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
101 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
102 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
103 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
104 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
105 format for each line of the file is:
106
107 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
108
109 filename : source file of the debug statement
110 lineno : line number of the debug statement
111 module : module that contains the debug statement
112 function : function that contains the debug statement
113 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
114 format : the format used for the debug statement
115
116 From a live system:
117
118 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
119 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
120 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
121 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
122 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
123
124 Example usage:
125
126 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
127 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
128 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
129
130 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
131 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
132 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
133
134 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
135 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
136 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137
138 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
139 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >

406 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
407 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
408 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
409 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
410 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
411 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The

1060 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1061 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1062 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1063 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1064 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1065 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1066 deadlock.
1067
1068 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1069 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1070
1071 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1072 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1073 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1074 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1075 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1076 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1077 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1078 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1079 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1080
1081 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1082 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1083 kernel reports nothing.
1084
1085 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1086 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1087 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1088 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1089 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1266 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1267 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1268 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1269 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1270 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1271 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1272 it.
1273
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001274 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1275 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1276 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1277 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1278 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1279 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001280 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001281 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single

1301 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1302 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1303 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1304 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1305 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1306 unregistered.
1307
1308 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1309 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1310 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1311
1312 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1313 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1615 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1616 depends on PCI && X86
1617 help
1618 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1619 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1620 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1621 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1622 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1623
1624 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1625 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1626 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1627
1628 Usage:
1629
1630 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1631 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1632
1633 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1634 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1635 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1636 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1637
1638 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1639 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1651
1652 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1653 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1654 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

1943 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
1944 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
1945 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
1946
1947 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
1948 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
1949 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
1950 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
1951 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
1952
1953 To run tests run:
1954
1955 tools/testing/selftests/kmod/kmod.sh --help
1956
1957 If unsure, say N.

2008 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2009 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2010 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2011 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2012 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2013 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2014
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002015 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2016 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2017 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2018 users of /dev/mem.

2026 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2027 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2028 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2029 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002031 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002032 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2033 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2034 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002035
