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.

84 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
85 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
86 using "boot_delay=N".

89 the "loops per jiffie" value.

91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

105 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
106 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
107 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
108 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
109 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
110 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
111
112 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
113 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
114 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
115 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

119 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
239a5791

122 making use of this feature.
604ff0dc

123 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
124 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
125 format for each line of the file is:
126
127 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
128
129 filename : source file of the debug statement
130 lineno : line number of the debug statement
131 module : module that contains the debug statement
132 function : function that contains the debug statement

133 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing

1227 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1228 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1229 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1230 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1231 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1232 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1233 deadlock.
1234
1235 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1236 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1237
1238 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1239 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1240 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1241 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1242 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1243 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1244 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1245 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1246 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1247
1248 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1249 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1250 kernel reports nothing.
1251
1252 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1253 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1254 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1255 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1256 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1485 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1486 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1487 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1488 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1489 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1490 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1491 it.

1493 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1494 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1495 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1496 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1497 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1498 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
4c5d114e 1499 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
eecabf56
TT
1500 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1501 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1502
1503 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1504 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1520 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1521 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1522 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1523 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1524 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1525 unregistered.
1526
1527 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1528 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1529 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1530
1531 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1532 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1533 kind of kobject release bug.

1682 depends on PCI && X86
1683 help
1684 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1685 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1686 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1687 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1688 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1689
1690 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1691 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1692 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1693
1694 Usage:
1695
1696 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1697 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1698
1699 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1700 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1701 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1702 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1703
1704 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1705 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2498 help
2499 Test that a memory leak does not occur due to a race between
2500 freeing a block of pages and a speculative page reference.
2501 Loading this module is safe if your kernel has the bug fixed.
2502 If the bug is not fixed, it will leak gigabytes of memory and
2503 probably OOM your system.
