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.
59 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your

70 depends on DEBUG_FS
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
116
117 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
118 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1100 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1101 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1102 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1103 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1104 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1105 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1106 deadlock.
1107
1108 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1109 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1110
1111 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1112 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1113 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1114 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1115 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1116 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1117 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1118 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1119 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1120
1121 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1122 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1123 kernel reports nothing.
1124
1125 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1126 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1127 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1128 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1129 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1259 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1260 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1261 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1262 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1263 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1264 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1265 it.
1266
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001267 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1268 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1269 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1270 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1271 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1272 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1273 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1274 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1275 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1276
1277 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1278 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1294 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1295 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1296 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1297 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1298 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1299 unregistered.
1300
1301 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1302 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1303 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1304
1305 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1306 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

Bernhard Kaindlf212ec42008-01-30 13:34:11 +01001756 depends on PCI && X86
1757 help
1758 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1759 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1760 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1761 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1762 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1763
1764 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1765 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1766 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1767
1768 Usage:
1769
1770 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1771 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1772
1773 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1774 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1775 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1776 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1777
1778 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1779 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1780
1781 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1960 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1961 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
1962 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
1963 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
1964 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
1965 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001967 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
1968 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
1969 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
1970 users of /dev/mem.
1971
1972 If in doubt, say Y.

1978 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1979 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
1980 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
1981 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08001983 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001984 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
1985 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
1986 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
