   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.

  50	depends on PRINTK

  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()

 134	bool "Reduce debugging information"
 135	depends on DEBUG_INFO
 136	help
 137	  If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
 138	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
 139	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
 140	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
 141	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that

 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

 231
 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.

 902	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a

 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).

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.

 132	  Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
 133	  making use of this feature.
 134	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
 135	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
 136	  format for each line of the file is:
 137
 138		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
 139
 140	  filename : source file of the debug statement
 141	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
 142	  module : module that contains the debug statement
 143	  function : function that contains the debug statement
 144	  flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
 145	  format : the format used for the debug statement
 146
 147	  From a live system:
 148
 149		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
 150		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format

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

1852	depends on PCI && X86
1853	help
1854	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1855	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1856	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1857	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1858	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1859
1860	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1861	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1862	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1863
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.

1875	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

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.
