11 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
12 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
13 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
14
15 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

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' >

978 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
979 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
980 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
981 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
982 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
983 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
984 deadlock.
985
986 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
987 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
988
989 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
990 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
991 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
992 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
993 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
994 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
995 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
996 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
997 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
998
999 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1000 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1001 kernel reports nothing.
1002
1003 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1004 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1005 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1006 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1007 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Bernhard Kaindlf212ec42008-01-30 13:34:11 +01001645 depends on PCI && X86
1646 help
1647 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1648 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1649 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1650 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1651 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1652
1653 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1654 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1655 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1656
1657 Usage:
1658
1659 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1660 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1661
1662 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1663 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1664 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1665 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1666
1667 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1668 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1669
1670 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1684 help
1685 Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
1686 With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
1687 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1688 were never allocated.
Dan Williams0abdd7a2014-01-21 15:48:12 -08001689
1690 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1691 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1692 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1693 not undergoing DMA.
1694
1695 This option causes a performance degradation. Use only if you want to
1696 debug device drivers and dma interactions.
