53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
55 using "boot_delay=N".

58 the "loops per jiffie" value.

70 depends on DEBUG_FS
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"
108 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\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' >
115 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

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

1107 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1108 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1109 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1110 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1111 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1112 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1113 deadlock.
1114
1115 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1116 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1117
1118 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1119 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1120 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1121 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1122 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1123 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1124 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1125 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1126 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1127
1128 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1129 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1130 kernel reports nothing.
1131
1132 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1133 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1134 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1135 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1136 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1281 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1282 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1283 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1284 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1285 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001289 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1290 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1291 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1292 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1293 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1294 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1295 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1296 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1297 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.

1316 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1317 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1318 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1319 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1320 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1321 unregistered.
1322
1323 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1324 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1325 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1326
1327 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

1616 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1617 depends on PCI && X86
1618 help
1619 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1620 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1621 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1622 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1623 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1624
1625 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1626 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1627 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1628
1629 Usage:
1630
1631 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1632 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1633
1634 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1635 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1636 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1637 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1638
1639 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1640 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1641

1654 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1655 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

1990 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1991 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
1992 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
1993 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
1994 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
1995 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001997 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
1998 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
1999 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2000 users of /dev/mem.

2002 If in doubt, say Y.

2008 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2009 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2010 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2011 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002013 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002014 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2015 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2016 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
