| 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' > |

| 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. |

| 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 | |

| 1640 | With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device |
| 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 | |
| 1649 | This option causes a performance degradation. Use only if you want to |

| 1920 | Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements |

| 1924 | Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or |
| 1925 | into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since |
| 1926 | it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause |
| 1927 | some issues by taking over precious threads available from other |
| 1928 | module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal. |
