| 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' > |

| 98 | // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c |

| 982 | help |
| 983 | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking |
| 984 | that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically |
| 985 | correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and |
| 986 | not yet triggered) combination of observed locking |
| 987 | sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an |
| 988 | arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a |
| 989 | deadlock. |
| 990 | |
| 991 | In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking |
| 992 | related deadlocks before they actually occur. |
| 993 | |
| 994 | The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a |
| 995 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many |
| 996 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed |
| 997 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on |
| 998 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible |
| 999 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario |
| 1000 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be |
| 1001 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that |
| 1002 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). |
| 1003 | |
| 1004 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as |
| 1005 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the |
| 1006 | kernel reports nothing. |
| 1007 | |
| 1008 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes |
| 1009 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these |
| 1010 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and |
| 1011 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an |
| 1012 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. |

| 1721 | help |
| 1722 | If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early |
| 1723 | on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use |
| 1724 | this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine |
| 1725 | over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394 |
| 1726 | specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers. |
| 1727 | |
| 1728 | With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using |
| 1729 | firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb. |
| 1730 | Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA. |
| 1731 | |
| 1732 | Usage: |
| 1733 | |
| 1734 | If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize |
| 1735 | all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space. |
| 1736 | |
| 1737 | As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling |
| 1738 | devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all |
| 1739 | devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on |
| 1740 | the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. |
| 1741 | |
| 1742 | This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack |
| 1743 | in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead. |
| 1744 | |
| 1745 | See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information. |

| 1765 | This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is |
| 1766 | accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For |
