9 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
10 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
11 call and at the console.
12
13 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
14 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
15 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
16
17 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
8c27ceff 18 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

20config PRINTK_CALLER

22 depends on PRINTK
23 help
24 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
25 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
26 to every message.
27
28 This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
29 concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
30 interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
31 line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
32
33 Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
34 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
35 sysfs interface.

78config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
79 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
80 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
81 help
82 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
83 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
84 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
85 using "boot_delay=N".
86
87 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
88 the "loops per jiffie" value.
89 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
90 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
91 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
92 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
93 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
94 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

100 depends on DEBUG_FS
101 help
102
103 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
104 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
105 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
106 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
107 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
108 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
109
110 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
111 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
112 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
113 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
114
115 Usage:
116
117 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
118 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
119 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
120 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
121 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
122 format for each line of the file is:
123
124 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
125
126 filename : source file of the debug statement
127 lineno : line number of the debug statement
128 module : module that contains the debug statement
129 function : function that contains the debug statement
130 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
131 format : the format used for the debug statement
132
133 From a live system:
134
135 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
136 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
137 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
138 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
139 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
140
141 Example usage:
142
143 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
144 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
145 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
146
147 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
148 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

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.
1664

1987 Test kernel livepatching features for correctness. The tests will
1988 load test modules that will be livepatched in various scenarios.
1989
1990 To run all the livepatching tests:
1991
1992 make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=livepatch run_tests
1993
1994 Alternatively, individual tests may be invoked:
1995
1996 tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test-callbacks.sh
1997 tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test-livepatch.sh
1998 tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/test-shadow-vars.sh

2059 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2060 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2061 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2062 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2063 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2064 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

2066 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2067 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2068 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2069 users of /dev/mem.
