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.

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' >

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

1090 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1091 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1092 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1093 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1094 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1095 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1096 deadlock.
1097
1098 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1099 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1100
1101 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1102 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1103 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1104 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1105 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1106 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1107 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1108 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1109 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1110
1111 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1112 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1113 kernel reports nothing.
1114
1115 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1116 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1117 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1118 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1119 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1296 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1298 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1299 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001304 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1306 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1309 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1331 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1332 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1333 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1334 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1335 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1336 unregistered.
1337
1338 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1339 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1340 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1341

1645 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1646 depends on PCI && X86
1647 help
1648 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1649 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1650 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1651 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1652 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1653
1654 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1655 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1656 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1657
1658 Usage:
1659
1660 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1661 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1662
1663 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1664 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1665 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1666 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1667
1668 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1669 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1670
1671 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.
