6 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
7 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
8 call and at the console.

10 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
11 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
12 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

14 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
15 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

49 need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
50 be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
51 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
52 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full

107 some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
108 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
109 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
110 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
111 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
112 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
113 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

147 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
148 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
91341d4b 149 most likely result in an oops.
e809ab01 150 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
6ae14171 151 __init, __cpuinit, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
d6fbfa4f 152 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
e809ab01
MW
153 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
154 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
155 additional steps to occur:
156 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
157 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
158 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 159 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
e809ab01
MW
160 This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
161 a larger kernel).
162 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
163 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
d6fbfa4f 164 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was

165 introduced.

765 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
766 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
767 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
768 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
769 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
770 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
771 deadlock.
772
773 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
774 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
775
776 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
777 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
778 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
779 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
780 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
781 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
782 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
783 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
784 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
785
786 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
787 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
788 kernel reports nothing.
789
790 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
791 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
792 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
793 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
794 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1106 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
1107 predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
1108 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
1109 option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from

BK
1393 depends on PCI && X86
1394 help
1395 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1396 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1397 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1398 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1399 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1400
1401 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1402 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1403 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1404
1405 Usage:
1406
1407 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1408 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1409
1410 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1411 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1412 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1413 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1414
1415 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1416 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
