   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

  25	  Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in
  26	  the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever
  27	  value is specified here as well.
  28
  29	  Note: This does not affect the log level of un-prefixed printk()
  30	  usage in the kernel. That is controlled by the MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
  31	  option.

  33config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

  39
  40	  This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
  41	  that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
  42	  priority.
  43
  44	  Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
  45	  by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,

  48config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
  49	bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
  50	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
  51	help
  52	  This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
  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".
  56
  57	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
  58	  the "loops per jiffie" value.
  59	  See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
  60	  system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
  61	  NOTE:  Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
  62	  I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
  63	  BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
  64	  what it believes to be lockup conditions.

  66config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
  67	bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
  68	default n
  69	depends on PRINTK
  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' >
 119						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

 157	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
 158	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
 159	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
 160	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that

 169	  Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
 170	  reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
 171	  because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
 172	  files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
 173	  In addition the debug information is also compressed.
 174
 175	  Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.

 309	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal

 311	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
 312	  any use of code/data previously in these sections would
 313	  most likely result in an oops.
 314	  In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
 315	  __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
 316	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
 317	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
 318	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
 319	  additional steps to occur:
 320	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
 321	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
 322	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
 323	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
 324	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
 325	    a larger kernel).
 326	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
 327	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
 328	    lose valuable information about where the mismatch was
 329	    introduced.
 330	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
 331	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
 332	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
 333	    reported at least twice.

1074	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1075	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1076	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1077	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1078	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1079	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1080	 deadlock.
1081
1082	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1083	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1084
1085	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1086	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1087	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1088	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1089	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1090	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1091	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1092	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1093	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1094
1095	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1096	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1097	 kernel reports nothing.
1098
1099	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1100	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1101	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1102	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1103	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1834	help
1835	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1836	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1837	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1838	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1839	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1840
1841	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1842	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1843	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1844
1845	  Usage:
1846
1847	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1848	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1849
1850	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1851	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1852	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1853	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1854
1855	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1856	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
