53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,

71 help
72
73 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
74 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
75 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
76 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
77 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
78 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
79
80 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
81 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
82 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
83 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
84
85 Usage:
86
87 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
88 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
89 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
90 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
91 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
92 format for each line of the file is:
93
94 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
95
96 filename : source file of the debug statement
97 lineno : line number of the debug statement
98 module : module that contains the debug statement
99 function : function that contains the debug statement
100 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
101 format : the format used for the debug statement
102
103 From a live system:
104
105 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
106 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
107 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

109 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
110
111 Example usage:
112
113 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
114 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

1086 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1087 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1088 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1089 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1090 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1091 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1092 deadlock.
1093
1094 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1095 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1096
1097 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1098 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1099 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1100 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1101 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1102 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1103 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1104 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1105 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1106
1107 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1108 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1109 kernel reports nothing.
1110
1111 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1112 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1113 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1114 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1115 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1878 help
1879 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1880 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1881 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1882 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1883 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1884
1885 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1886 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1887 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1888
1889 Usage:
1890
1891 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1892 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1893
1894 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1895 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1896 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1897 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1898
1899 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1900 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1901
1902 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2032 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2033 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2034 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2035 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2036 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2037 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2038
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002039 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2040 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2041 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2042 users of /dev/mem.

2044 If in doubt, say Y.

2050 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2051 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2052 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2053 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.
2054
Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002055 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002056 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2057 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2058 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
