10 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
11 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
12 call and at the console.
13
14 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
15 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
16 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
17
18 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
8c27ceff 19 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

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

94 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
95 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
96 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
97 using "boot_delay=N".
98
99 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100 the "loops per jiffie" value.
101 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
102 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
103 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
104 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
105 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
106 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
122
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,

133 making use of this feature.
604ff0dc
DH
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
68d4b3df
KK
144 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145 format : the format used for the debug statement

486 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal

488 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
489 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
91341d4b 490 most likely result in an oops.
e809ab01 491 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
0db0628d 492 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
d6fbfa4f 493 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.

494 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
495 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
b7dca6dd 496 additional step to occur:
e809ab01
MW
497 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
498 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
499 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 500 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.

1359 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1360 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1361 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1362 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1363 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1364 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1365 deadlock.
1366
1367 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1368 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1369
1370 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1371 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1372 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1373 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1374 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1375 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1376 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1377 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1378 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1379
1380 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1381 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1382 kernel reports nothing.
1383
1384 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1385 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1386 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1387 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1388 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

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.
1873
1874 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1875 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

3032 This should not happen, thus by default the build is aborted. However,
3033 as an escape hatch, you can choose Y here to ignore them during build
3034 and let the check be carried at runtime (with `panic!` being called if
