11 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported

13 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

32 help
33 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
34 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
35 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
36 using "boot_delay=N".
37
38 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
39 the "loops per jiffie" value.
40 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
41 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
42 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
43 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
44 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
45 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

52 help
53
54 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
55 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
56 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
57 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
58 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
59 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
60
61 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
62 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
63 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
64 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
65
66 Usage:
67
68 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
69 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
70 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
71 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
72 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
73 format for each line of the file is:
74
75 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
76
77 filename : source file of the debug statement
78 lineno : line number of the debug statement
79 module : module that contains the debug statement
80 function : function that contains the debug statement
81 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
82 format : the format used for the debug statement
83
84 From a live system:
85
86 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
87 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
88 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
89 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
90 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
91
92 Example usage:
93
94 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
95 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
96 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
97
98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1108 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1109 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1110 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1111 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1112 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1113 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1114 deadlock.
1115
1116 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1117 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1118
1119 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1120 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1121 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1122 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1123 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1124 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1125 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1126 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1127 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1128
1129 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1130 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1131 kernel reports nothing.
1132
1133 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1134 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1135 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1136 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1137 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1888 help
1889 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1890 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1891 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1892 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1893 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1894
1895 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1896 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1897 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1898
1899 Usage:
1900
1901 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1902 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1903
1904 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1905 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1906 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1907 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1908
1909 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1910 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1911
1912 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2032 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2033 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2034 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2035 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2036 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2037 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002039 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2040 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2041 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2042 users of /dev/mem.

2044 If in doubt, say Y.

2050 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2051 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2052 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2053 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002055 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002056 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2057 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2058 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.

2060 If in doubt, say Y.
