11 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported

13 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.

32 help
33 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
34 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
35 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
36 using "boot_delay=N".
37
38 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
39 the "loops per jiffie" value.
40 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
41 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
42 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
43 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
44 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
45 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

52 help
53
54 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
55 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
56 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
57 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
58 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
59 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
60
61 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
62 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
63 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
64 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
65
66 Usage:
67
68 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
69 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
70 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
71 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
72 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
73 format for each line of the file is:
74
75 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
76
77 filename : source file of the debug statement
78 lineno : line number of the debug statement
79 module : module that contains the debug statement
80 function : function that contains the debug statement
81 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
82 format : the format used for the debug statement
83
84 From a live system:
85
86 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
87 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
88 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
89 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
90 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
91
92 Example usage:
93
94 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
95 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
96 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
97
98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1054 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1055 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1056 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1057 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1058 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1059 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1060 deadlock.
1061
1062 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1063 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1064
1065 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1066 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1067 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1068 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1069 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1070 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1071 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1072 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1073 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1074
1075 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1076 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1077 kernel reports nothing.
1078
1079 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1080 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1081 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1082 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1083 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1853 help
1854 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1855 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1856 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1857 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1858 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1859
1860 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1861 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1862 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1863
1864 Usage:
1865
1866 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1867 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1868
1869 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1870 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1871 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1872 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1873
1874 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1875 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1876
1877 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.
