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

22 bool "Show caller information on printks"

24 help
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.

79config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
80 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
81 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
82 help
83 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
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".
87
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.
94 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
95 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

101 depends on DEBUG_FS
102 help
103
104 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
105 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
106 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
107 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
108 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
109 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
110
111 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
112 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
113 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
114 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
115
116 Usage:
117
118 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
119 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
120 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
121 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
122 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
123 format for each line of the file is:
124
125 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
126
127 filename : source file of the debug statement
128 lineno : line number of the debug statement
129 module : module that contains the debug statement
130 function : function that contains the debug statement
131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134 From a live system:
135
136 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
139 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
140 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
141
142 Example usage:
143
144 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
145 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
146 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
147
148 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
149 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

151
152 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
153 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >

198 information for structure types. This means that tools that
199 need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
200 be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
201 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
202 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
203 DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.

315 developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
316 do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
317 compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
318 enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
319 this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the

337 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.

1043 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1044 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1045 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1046 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1047 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1048 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1049 deadlock.
1050
1051 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1052 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1053
1054 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1055 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1056 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1057 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1058 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1059 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1060 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1061 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1062 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1063
1064 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1065 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1066 kernel reports nothing.
1067
1068 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1069 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1070 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1071 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1072 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1457 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early

1459 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1460 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1461 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1462
1463 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1464 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1465 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1466
1467 Usage:
1468
1469 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1470 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1471
1472 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1473 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1474 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1475 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1476
1477 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1478 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2033 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
2034 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
2035 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
2036
2037 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2038 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2039 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2040 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2041 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
