25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
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

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

89 the "loops per jiffie" value.

91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

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

410 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
411 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
412 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
413 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
414 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The

1047 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1048 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1049 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1050 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1051 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1052 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1053 deadlock.
1054
1055 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1056 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1057
1058 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1059 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1060 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1061 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1062 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1063 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1064 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1065 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1066 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1067
1068 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1069 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1070 kernel reports nothing.
1071
1072 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1073 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1074 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1075 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1076 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1253 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1255 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1256 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001261 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1262 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1263 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1266 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1288 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1289 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1290 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1291 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1292 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1293 unregistered.
1294
1295 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1296 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1297 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.

1460 help
1461 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1462 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1463 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1464 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1465 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1466
1467 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1468 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1469 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1470
1471 Usage:
1472
1473 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1474 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1475
1476 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1477 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1478 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1479 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1480
1481 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1482 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
