8 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
9 call and at the console.
10
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.
14
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

317 The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
318 kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
319 additional steps to occur:
320 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
321 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
322 function, we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 323 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.

325 a larger kernel).

1086 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1087 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1088 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1089 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1090 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1091 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1092 deadlock.
1093
1094 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1095 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1096
1097 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1098 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1099 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1100 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1101 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1102 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1103 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1104 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1105 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1106
1107 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1108 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1109 kernel reports nothing.
1110
1111 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1112 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1113 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1114 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1115 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1526 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
1527 predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
1528 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
1529 option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from

BK
1869 depends on PCI && X86
1870 help
1871 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1872 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1873 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1874 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1875 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1876
1877 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1878 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1879 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1880
1881 Usage:
1882
1883 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1884 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1885
1886 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1887 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1888 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1889 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1890
1891 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1892 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2024 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2025 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2026 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2027 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2028 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2029 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

2031 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2032 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2033 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2034 users of /dev/mem.
