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.

94 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
95 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
96 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
97 using "boot_delay=N".
98
99 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100 the "loops per jiffie" value.
101 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
102 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
103 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
104 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
105 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect

116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
122
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
127
128 Usage:
129
130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
239a5791
GKH
131 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
132 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
133 making use of this feature.
604ff0dc
DH
134 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
135 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
136 format for each line of the file is:
137
138 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
139
140 filename : source file of the debug statement
141 lineno : line number of the debug statement
142 module : module that contains the debug statement
143 function : function that contains the debug statement
68d4b3df
KK
144 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145 format : the format used for the debug statement

1229 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1230 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1231 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1232 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1233 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1234 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1235 deadlock.
1236
1237 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1238 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1239
1240 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1241 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1242 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1243 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1244 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1245 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1246 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1247 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1248 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1249
1250 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1251 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1252 kernel reports nothing.
1253
1254 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1255 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1256 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1257 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1258 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1561 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1562 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1563 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1564 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1565 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1566 unregistered.
1567
1568 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1569 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1570 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1571
1572 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

1695 depends on PCI && X86
1696 help
1697 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1698 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1699 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1700 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1701 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1702
1703 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1704 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1705 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1706
1707 Usage:
1708
1709 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1710 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1711
1712 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1713 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1714 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1715 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1716
1717 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1718 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2545 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
2546
2547 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2548 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2549 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2550 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2551 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
