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

98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

885 It can be adjusted at runtime via the kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs

887 /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs.

1134 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1135 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1136 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1137 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1138 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1139 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1140 deadlock.
1141
1142 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1143 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1144
1145 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1146 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1147 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1148 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1149 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1150 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1151 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1152 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1153 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1154
1155 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1156 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1157 kernel reports nothing.
1158
1159 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1160 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1161 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1162 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1163 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Russell Kingc817a672013-06-27 15:06:14 +01001270 help
1271 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1272 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1273 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1274 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1275 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1276 unregistered.
1277
1278 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1279 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1280 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1281
1282 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1283 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1284 kind of kobject release bug.

1943 help
1944 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1945 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1946 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1947 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1948 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1949
1950 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1951 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1952 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1953
1954 Usage:
1955
1956 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1957 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1958
1959 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1960 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1961 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1962 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1963
1964 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1965 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1966
1967 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2107 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2108 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2109 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2110 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2111 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2112 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2113
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002114 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2115 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2116 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2117 users of /dev/mem.

2125 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all

2127 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002130 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002131 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2132 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2133 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
