6 help
7 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
8 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
9 call and at the console.
10
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

29config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
30 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
31 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
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
97
98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
100 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
101
102 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
103 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
104 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
105
106 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
107 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
108 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
109
110 // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

198 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
199 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
200 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
201 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

232config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
233 bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
234 help
235 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
236 references from one section to another section.
237 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
238 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
239 most likely result in an oops.
240 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
241 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
242 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
243 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
244 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
245 additional steps to occur:
246 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
247 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
248 function, we would lose the section information and thus
249 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
250 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
251 a larger kernel).
252 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
253 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
254 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
255 introduced.
256 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
257 tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
258 source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
259 reported at least twice.
260 - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
261 the section mismatches that are reported.

624 Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
625 mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
626 chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
627 detection and the system will stay locked up.

632 and the system will stay locked up.
633
634 The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
635 generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
636 An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.

891 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

895 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
896 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
897 deadlock.
898
899 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
900 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
901
902 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
903 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
904 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
905 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
906 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
907 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
908 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
909 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
910 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
911
912 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
913 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
914 kernel reports nothing.
915
916 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
917 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
918 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
919 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an

1245 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
1246 predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
1247 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
1248 option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from

1542 help
1543 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1544 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1545 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1546 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1547 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1548
1549 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1550 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1551 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1552
1553 Usage:
1554
1555 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1556 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1557
1558 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1559 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1560 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1561 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1562
1563 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1564 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1366 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1367 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1368 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1369 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1370 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1371 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1372 deadlock.
1373
1374 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1375 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1376
1377 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1378 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1379 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1380 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1381 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1382 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1383 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1384 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1385 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1386
1387 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1388 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1389 kernel reports nothing.
1390
1391 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1392 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1393 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1394 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1395 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1861 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1862 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

1864 Usage:
1865
1866 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1867 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1868
1869 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1870 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1871 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1872 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1873
1874 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack

2939 This allows us to stress test find_symbol() through the kallsyms
2940 used to place symbols on the kernel ELF kallsyms and modules kallsyms
2941 where we place kernel symbols such as exported symbols.
2942
2943 We have four test modules:
2944
2945 A: has KALLSYSMS_NUMSYMS exported symbols
2946 B: uses one of A's symbols
2947 C: adds KALLSYMS_SCALE_FACTOR * KALLSYSMS_NUMSYMS exported
2948 D: adds 2 * the symbols than C
2949
2950 We stress test find_symbol() through two means:
2951
2952 1) Upon load of B it will trigger simplify_symbols() to look for the
2953 one symbol it uses from the module A with tons of symbols. This is an
2954 indirect way for us to have B call resolve_symbol_wait() upon module
2955 load. This will eventually call find_symbol() which will eventually
2956 try to find the symbols used with find_exported_symbol_in_section().
2957 find_exported_symbol_in_section() uses bsearch() so a binary search
2958 for each symbol. Binary search will at worst be O(log(n)) so the
2959 larger TEST_MODULE_KALLSYSMS the worse the search.
2960
2961 2) The selftests should load C first, before B. Upon B's load towards
2962 the end right before we call module B's init routine we get
2963 complete_formation() called on the module. That will first check
2964 for duplicate symbols with the call to verify_exported_symbols().
2965 That is when we'll force iteration on module C's insane symbol list.
2966 Since it has 10 * KALLSYMS_NUMSYMS it means we can first test
2967 just loading B without C. The amount of time it takes to load C Vs
2968 B can give us an idea of the impact growth of the symbol space and
2969 give us projection. Module A only uses one symbol from B so to allow
2970 this scaling in module C to be proportional, if it used more symbols
2971 then the first test would be doing more and increasing just the
2972 search space would be slightly different. The last module, module D
2973 will just increase the search space by twice the number of symbols in
2974 C so to allow for full projects.
2975
2976 tools/testing/selftests/module/find_symbol.sh
2977
2978 The current defaults will incur a build delay of about 7 minutes
2979 on an x86_64 with only 8 cores. Enable this only if you want to
2980 stress test find_symbol() with thousands of symbols. At the same
2981 time this is also useful to test building modules with thousands of
2982 symbols, and if BTF is enabled this also stress tests adding BTF
2983 information for each module. Currently enabling many more symbols
2984 will segfault the build system.
