8 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
9 call and at the console.
10
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

30 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"

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.

47config DYNAMIC_DEBUG

49 default n
50 depends on PRINTK
51 depends on DEBUG_FS
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' >
100 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
101
102 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
103 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
104 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
105
106 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
107 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
108 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
109
110 // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

Michael Wittene809ab02011-04-17 04:08:48 +0000243 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full

245 additional steps to occur:
246 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
247 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
248 function, we would lose the section information and thus
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100249 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
Michael Wittene809ab02011-04-17 04:08:48 +0000250 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
251 a larger kernel).

253 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100254 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100255 introduced.
256 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
Michael Wittene809ab02011-04-17 04:08:48 +0000257 tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
258 source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
259 reported at least twice.
260 - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
261 the section mismatches that are reported.

861 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
862 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
863 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
864 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
865 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
866 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
867 deadlock.
868
869 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
870 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
871
872 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
873 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
874 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
875 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
876 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
877 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
878 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
879 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
880 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
881
882 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
883 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
884 kernel reports nothing.
885
886 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
887 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
888 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
889 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
890 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Bernhard Kaindlf212ec42008-01-30 13:34:11 +01001473 depends on PCI && X86
1474 help
1475 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1476 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1477 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1478 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1479 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1480
1481 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1482 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1483 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1484
1485 Usage:
1486
1487 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1488 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1489
1490 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1491 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1492 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1493 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1494
1495 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1496 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1497
1498 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.
