8 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
9 call and at the console.

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
8c27ceff 16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

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.

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

1055 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1056 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1057 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1058 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1059 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1060 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1061 deadlock.
1062
1063 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1064 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1065
1066 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1067 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1068 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1069 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1070 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1071 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1072 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1073 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1074 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1075
1076 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1077 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1078 kernel reports nothing.
1079
1080 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1081 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1082 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1083 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1084 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1610 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1611 depends on PCI && X86
1612 help
1613 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1614 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1615 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1616 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1617 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1618
1619 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1620 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1621 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1622
1623 Usage:
1624
1625 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1626 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1627
1628 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1629 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1630 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1631 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1632
1633 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1634 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2009 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2010 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2011 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2012 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2013 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

2015 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2016 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2017 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2018 users of /dev/mem.

2027 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2028 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2029 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.
