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

106 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
107 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
108 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
109 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
110 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
111
112 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
113 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
114 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is

119 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
Greg Kroah-Hartman239a5792020-02-10 13:11:42 -0800120 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
121 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
122 making use of this feature.
Dave Hansen604ff0d2013-07-01 13:04:49 -0700123 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
124 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
125 format for each line of the file is:
126
127 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
128
129 filename : source file of the debug statement
130 lineno : line number of the debug statement
131 module : module that contains the debug statement
132 function : function that contains the debug statement
Krzysztof Kozlowski68d4b3d2019-12-06 17:04:08 -0800133 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing

1179 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1180 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1181 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1182 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1183 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1184 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1185 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1186
1187 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1188 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1189 kernel reports nothing.
1190
1191 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1192 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1193 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1194 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1195 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1565 predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
1566 may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
1567 option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
1568 the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or

1570 device number allocation.

1611 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1612 depends on PCI && X86
1613 help
1614 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1615 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1616 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1617 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1618 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1619
1620 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1621 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1622 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1623
1624 Usage:
1625
1626 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1627 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1628
1629 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1630 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1631 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1632 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1633
1634 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1635 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2309 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
2310 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
2311 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
2312
2313 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2314 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2315 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2316 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2317 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
