65 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
66 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
67 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
68 using "boot_delay=N".

70 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
71 the "loops per jiffie" value.
72 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
73 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".

84 help
85
86 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
87 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
88 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
89 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
90 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
91 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
92
93 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
94 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
95 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
96 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
97
98 Usage:
99
100 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
101 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
102 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
103 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
104 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
105 format for each line of the file is:
106
107 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
108
109 filename : source file of the debug statement
110 lineno : line number of the debug statement
111 module : module that contains the debug statement
112 function : function that contains the debug statement
113 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
114 format : the format used for the debug statement
115
116 From a live system:
117
118 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
119 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
120 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
121 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
122 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
123
124 Example usage:
125
126 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
127 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
128 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
129
130 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
131 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
132 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
133
134 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
135 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
136 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137
138 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
139 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
140 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

1068 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1069 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1070 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1071 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1072 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1073 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1074 deadlock.
1075
1076 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1077 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1078
1079 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1080 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1081 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1082 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1083 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1084 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1085 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1086 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1087 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1088
1089 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1090 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1091 kernel reports nothing.
1092
1093 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1094 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1095 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1096 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1097 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1275 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1276 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1277 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1278 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1279 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1280 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1281 it.
1282
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001283 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1284 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1285 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1286 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1287 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1288 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1289 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1290 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1291 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1292
1293 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1294 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1310 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1311 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1312 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1313 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1314 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1315 unregistered.
1316
1317 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1318 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1319 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1320
1321 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1322 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1624 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1625 depends on PCI && X86
1626 help
1627 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1628 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1629 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1630 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1631 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1632
1633 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1634 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1635 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1636
1637 Usage:
1638
1639 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1640 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1641
1642 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1643 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1644 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1645 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1646
1647 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1648 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1660
1661 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1662 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1663 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

2029 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2030 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2031 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2032 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2033 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2034 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2035
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002036 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2037 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2038 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2039 users of /dev/mem.

2047 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2048 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2049 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2050 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002052 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002053 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2054 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2055 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
