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.

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

1167 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1168 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1169 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1170 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1171 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1172 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1173 deadlock.
1174
1175 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1176 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1177
1178 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1179 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1180 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1181 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1182 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1183 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1184 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1185 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1186 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1187
1188 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1189 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1190 kernel reports nothing.
1191
1192 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1193 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1194 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1195 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1196 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1545 Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from

1547 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This

1593 depends on PCI && X86
1594 help
1595 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1596 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1597 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1598 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1599 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1600
1601 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1602 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1603 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1604
1605 Usage:
1606
1607 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1608 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1609
1610 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1611 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1612 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1613 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1614
1615 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1616 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
