26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
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

102 help
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
131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134 From a live system:
135
136 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
139 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
140 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
141
142 Example usage:
143
144 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
145 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
146 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
147
148 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
149 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
150 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
151
152 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
153 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
154 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
155
156 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
157 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >

1113 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

1116 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1117 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1118 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1119 deadlock.
1120
1121 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1122 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1123
1124 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1125 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1126 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1127 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1128 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1129 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1130 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1131 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1132 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1133
1134 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1135 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1136 kernel reports nothing.
1137
1138 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1139 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1140 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and

1319 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1321 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1322 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001327 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1329 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1332 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1354 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1355 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1356 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1357 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1358 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1359 unregistered.
1360
1361 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1362 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1363 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1364

1668 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1669 depends on PCI && X86
1670 help
1671 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1672 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1673 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1674 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1675 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1676
1677 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1678 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1679 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1680
1681 Usage:
1682
1683 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1684 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1685
1686 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1687 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1688 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1689 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1690
1691 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1692 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1977 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
1978 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
1979 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
1980
1981 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
1982 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
1983 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
1984 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
1985 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
