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".

88 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
89 the "loops per jiffie" value.
90 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
93 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.

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

120 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
121 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
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
68d4b3df

133 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
134 format : the format used for the debug statement

1236 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1237 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1238 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1239 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1240 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1241 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1242 deadlock.
1243
1244 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1245 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1246
1247 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1248 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1249 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1250 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1251 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1252 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1253 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1254 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1255 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1256
1257 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1258 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1259 kernel reports nothing.
1260
1261 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1262 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1263 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1264 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1265 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1542 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1544 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1569 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1570 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1571 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1572 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1573 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1574 unregistered.
1575
1576 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1577 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1578 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1579

1730 depends on PCI && X86
1731 help
1732 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1733 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1734 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1735 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1736 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1737
1738 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1739 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1740 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1741
1742 Usage:
1743
1744 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1745 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1746
1747 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1748 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1749 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1750 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1751
1752 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1753 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2458 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
2459 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
2460 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
2461
2462 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2463 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2464 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2465 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2466 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
2467
2468 To run tests run:
