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.

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

e809ab01

318 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
319 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
320 additional steps to occur:
321 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
322 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
323 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 324 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01
MW
325 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
326 a larger kernel).
327 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.

1112 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1113 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1114 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1115 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1116 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1117 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1118 deadlock.
1119
1120 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1121 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1122
1123 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1124 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1125 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1126 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1127 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1128 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1129 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1130 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1131 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1132
1133 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1134 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1135 kernel reports nothing.
1136
1137 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1138 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1139 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1140 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1141 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1268 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1604 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1605 depends on PCI && X86
1606 help
1607 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1608 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1609 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1610 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1611 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1612
1613 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1614 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1615 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1616
1617 Usage:
1618
1619 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1620 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1621
1622 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1623 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1624 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1625 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1626
1627 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1628 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1640
1641 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1642 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1643 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1644 not undergoing DMA.
