  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

  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()
 111		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >

 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

 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.

 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).

1539config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
1540	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1541	depends on PCI && X86
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.

1568config BUILD_DOCSRC

1577config DMA_API_DEBUG
1578	bool "Enable debugging of DMA-API usage"
1579	depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
 
 
 
1580	help
1581	  Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
1582	  With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
1583	  drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1584	  were never allocated.
1585
1586	  This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1587	  accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption.  For
1588	  example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1589	  not undergoing DMA.
1590
1591	  This option causes a performance degradation.  Use only if you want to
1592	  debug device drivers and dma interactions.

1596config TEST_MODULE

1600	help
1601	  This builds the "test_module" module that emits "Hello, world"
1602	  on printk when loaded. It is designed to be used for basic
1603	  evaluation of the module loading subsystem (for example when
1604	  validating module verification). It lacks any extra dependencies,
1605	  and will not normally be loaded by the system unless explicitly
1606	  requested by name.
1607

1615	  This builds the "test_user_copy" module that runs sanity checks
1616	  on the copy_to/from_user infrastructure, making sure basic
1617	  user/kernel boundary testing is working. If it fails to load,
1618	  a regression has been detected in the user/kernel memory boundary
1619	  protections.
