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.

15 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
16 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

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

98 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
99 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1121 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1122 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1123 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1124 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1125 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1126 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1127 deadlock.
1128
1129 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1130 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1131
1132 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1133 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1134 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1135 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1136 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1137 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1138 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1139 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1140 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1141
1142 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1143 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1144 kernel reports nothing.
1145
1146 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1147 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1148 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1149 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1150 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1930 help
1931 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1932 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1933 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1934 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1935 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1936
1937 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1938 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1939 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1940
1941 Usage:
1942
1943 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1944 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1945
1946 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1947 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1948 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1949 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1950
1951 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1952 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1953
1954 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2042 This option adds a kernel parameter 'memtest', which allows memtest
2043 to be set.
2044 memtest=0, mean disabled; -- default
2045 memtest=1, mean do 1 test pattern;

2056 This option helps to select Memtest to be enabled through
2057 kernel defconfig options. Alternatively it can be enabled
2058 using memtest=<patterns> kernel command line.
2059
2060 Default value is kept as "0" so that it is kept as disabled.
2061 To enable enter any value between 1-17 range.

2094 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2095 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2096 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2097 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2098 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2099 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2100
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002101 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2102 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2103 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2104 users of /dev/mem.
2105
2106 If in doubt, say Y.

2112 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2113 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2114 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2115 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002117 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002118 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2119 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2120 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002121
