11 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported

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

1102 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1103 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1104 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1105 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1106 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1107 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1108 deadlock.
1109
1110 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1111 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1112
1113 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1114 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1115 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1116 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1117 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1118 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1119 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1120 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1121 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1122
1123 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1124 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1125 kernel reports nothing.
1126
1127 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1128 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1129 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1130 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1131 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1911 help
1912 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1913 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1914 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1915 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1916 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1917
1918 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1919 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1920 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1921
1922 Usage:
1923
1924 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1925 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1926
1927 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1928 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1929 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1930 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1931
1932 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1933 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1934
1935 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2037 This option helps to select Memtest to be enabled through
2038 kernel defconfig options. Alternatively it can be enabled
2039 using memtest=<patterns> kernel command line.

2041 Default value is kept as "0" so that it is kept as disabled.
2042 To enable enter any value between 1-17 range.

2075 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2076 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2077 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2078 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2079 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2080 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2081
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002082 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2083 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2084 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2085 users of /dev/mem.
2086
2087 If in doubt, say Y.

2093 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2094 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2095 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2096 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.
2097
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002098 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002099 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2100 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2101 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002102
2103 If in doubt, say Y.
