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

61config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
62 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"

64 help
65 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
66 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
67 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
68 using "boot_delay=N".
69
70 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
71 the "loops per jiffie" value.
72 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
73 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
74 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
75 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
76 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
77 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

81 default n
82 depends on PRINTK
83 depends on DEBUG_FS
84 help
85
86 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
87 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
88 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
89 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
90 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
91 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
92
93 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
94 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
95 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
96 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
97
98 Usage:
99
100 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
101 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
102 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
103 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
104 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
105 format for each line of the file is:
106
107 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
108
109 filename : source file of the debug statement
110 lineno : line number of the debug statement
111 module : module that contains the debug statement
112 function : function that contains the debug statement
113 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
114 format : the format used for the debug statement
115
116 From a live system:
117
118 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
119 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
120 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
121 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
122 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
123
124 Example usage:
125
126 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
127 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
128 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

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

187 In addition the debug information is also compressed.

322 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
323 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
324 additional steps to occur:
325 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
326 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
327 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 328 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01

330 a larger kernel).

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.

1630 depends on PCI && X86
1631 help
1632 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1633 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1634 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1635 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1636 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1637
1638 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1639 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1640 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1641
1642 Usage:
1643
1644 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1645 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1646
1647 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1648 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1649 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1650 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1651
1652 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1653 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2041 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2042 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2043 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2044 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2045 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2046 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

2048 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2049 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2050 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2051 users of /dev/mem.
