70 depends on DEBUG_FS
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

117 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
118 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1052 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1053 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1054 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1055 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1056 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1057 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1058 deadlock.
1059
1060 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1061 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1062
1063 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1064 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1065 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1066 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1067 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1068 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1069 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1070 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1071 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1072
1073 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1074 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1075 kernel reports nothing.
1076
1077 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1078 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1079 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1080 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1081 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1258 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1259 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1260 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1261 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1262 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1263 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1264 it.
1265
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001266 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1267 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1268 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1269 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1270 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1271 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1272 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1273 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1274 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1275
1276 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1277 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
1278 those developers interersted in improving the security of
1279 Linux kernels running on their architecture (or

1293 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1294 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1295 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1296 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1297 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1298 unregistered.
1299
1300 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1301 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1302 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1303
1304 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1305 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1306 kind of kobject release bug.

1607 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1608 depends on PCI && X86
1609 help
1610 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1611 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1612 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1613 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1614 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1615
1616 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1617 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1618 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1619
1620 Usage:
1621
1622 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1623 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1624
1625 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1626 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1627 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1628 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1629
1630 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1631 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1632
1633 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1641 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1642 were never allocated.
1643
1644 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1645 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1646 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1647 not undergoing DMA.
1648

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001992 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
1993 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
1994 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
1995 users of /dev/mem.

2003 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2004 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2005 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2006 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002008 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002009 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2010 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2011 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
