53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
55 using "boot_delay=N".

58 the "loops per jiffie" value.

71 help
72
73 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
74 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
75 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
76 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
77 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
78 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
79
80 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
81 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
82 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
83 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
84
85 Usage:
86
87 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
88 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
89 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
90 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
91 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
92 format for each line of the file is:
93
94 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
95
96 filename : source file of the debug statement
97 lineno : line number of the debug statement
98 module : module that contains the debug statement
99 function : function that contains the debug statement
100 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
101 format : the format used for the debug statement
102
103 From a live system:
104
105 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
106 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
107 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
108 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
109 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
110
111 Example usage:
112
113 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
114 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
115 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

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

1104 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1105 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1106 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1107 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1108 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1109 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1110 deadlock.
1111
1112 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1113 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1114
1115 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1116 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1117 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1118 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1119 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1120 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1121 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1122 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1123 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1124
1125 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1126 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1127 kernel reports nothing.
1128
1129 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1130 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1131 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1132 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1133 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1247 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1248 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1249 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1250 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1251 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1252 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1253 it.
1254
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001255 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1256 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1257 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1258 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1259 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1260 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1261 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1262 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1263 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1264
1265 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1266 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
1267 those developers interersted in improving the security of

1282 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1283 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1284 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1285 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1286 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1287 unregistered.
1288
1289 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1290 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1291 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1292
1293 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1294 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1295 kind of kobject release bug.

1596 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1597 depends on PCI && X86
1598 help
1599 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1600 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1601 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1602 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1603 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1604
1605 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1606 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1607 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1608
1609 Usage:
1610
1611 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1612 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1613
1614 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1615 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1616 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1617 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1618
1619 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1620 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1621
1622 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1630 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1631 were never allocated.
1632
1633 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1634 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1635 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1636 not undergoing DMA.
1637

1973 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1974 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
1975 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
1976 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
1977 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
1978 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001980 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
1981 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
1982 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
1983 users of /dev/mem.

1985 If in doubt, say Y.

1991 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1992 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
1993 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
1994 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08001996 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001997 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
1998 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
1999 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
