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

1133 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1134 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1135 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1136 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1137 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1138 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1139 deadlock.
1140
1141 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1142 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1143
1144 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1145 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1146 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1147 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1148 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1149 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1150 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1151 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1152 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1153
1154 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1155 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1156 kernel reports nothing.
1157
1158 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1159 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1160 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1161 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1162 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1270 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1271 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1272 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1273 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1274 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1275 unregistered.
1276
1277 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1278 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1279 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1280
1281 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1282 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1283 kind of kobject release bug.

1942 help
1943 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1944 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1945 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1946 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1947 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1948
1949 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1950 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1951 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1952
1953 Usage:
1954
1955 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1956 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1957
1958 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1959 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1960 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1961 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1962
1963 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1964 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1965
1966 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2106 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2107 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2108 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2109 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2110 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2111 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2112
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002113 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2114 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2115 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2116 users of /dev/mem.

2124 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002129 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002130 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2131 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2132 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
