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

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
Krzysztof Kozlowski68d4b3d2019-12-06 17:04:08 -0800131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
Dave Hansen604ff0d2013-07-01 13:04:49 -0700133
134 From a live system:

387 defined weak to work around addressing range issue which
388 puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
389 definitions.
390
391 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
392 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function
393
394 To ensure that generic code follows the above rules, this
395 option forces all percpu variables to be defined as weak.

1064 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1065 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1066 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1067 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1068 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1069 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1070 deadlock.
1071
1072 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1073 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1074
1075 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1076 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1077 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1078 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1079 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1080 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1081 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1082 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1083 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1084
1085 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1086 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1087 kernel reports nothing.
1088
1089 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1090 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1091 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1092 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1093 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001278 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1305 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

1469 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1470 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1471 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1472 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1473 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1474
1475 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1476 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1477 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

1479 Usage:
1480
1481 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1482 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1483
1484 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1485 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1486 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1487 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1488
1489 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1490 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
