3config PRINTK_TIME
4 bool "Show timing information on printks"
5 depends on PRINTK
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/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

24
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()

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,
46 or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.

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' >

120
121 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
122 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >

160 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
161 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full

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.

306config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
307 bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
308 help
309 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
310 references from one section to another section.
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.
334 - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
335 the section mismatches that are reported.

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

1100 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1101 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and

1211 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1212 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1213 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1214 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1215 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1216 unregistered.
1217
1218 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1219 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1220 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1221

1831config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
1832 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1833 depends on PCI && X86
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.

103
104 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
105 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
106 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
107 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
108 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
109 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
110
111 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
112 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
113 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
114 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
115
116 Usage:
117
118 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
119 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
120 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
121 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
122 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
123 format for each line of the file is:
124
125 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
126
127 filename : source file of the debug statement
128 lineno : line number of the debug statement
129 module : module that contains the debug statement
130 function : function that contains the debug statement
131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134 From a live system:
135
136 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

329 references from one section to another section.
330 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
331 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
332 most likely result in an oops.
333 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
334 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
335 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
336 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
337 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
338 additional step to occur:
339 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
340 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
341 function, we would lose the section information and thus
342 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
343 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
344 a larger kernel).

1084 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1085 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1086 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1087 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1088 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1089 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1090 deadlock.
1091
1092 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1093 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1094
1095 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1096 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1097 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1098 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1099 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1100 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1101 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1102 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1103 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1104
1105 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1106 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1107 kernel reports nothing.
1108
1109 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1110 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1111 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1112 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1113 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1639 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1640 depends on PCI && X86
1641 help
1642 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1643 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1644 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1645 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1646 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1647
1648 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1649 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1650 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1651
1652 Usage:
1653
1654 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1655 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1656
1657 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1658 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1659 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1660 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1661
1662 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1663 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2114 depends on STRICT_DEVMEM
2115 ---help---
2116 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2117 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2118 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2119 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.
2120
2121 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
2122 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2123 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2124 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
2125
2126 If in doubt, say Y.
