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

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' >

1104 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

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

1310 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1312 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1313 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001318 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1320 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1323 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1345 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1346 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1347 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1348 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1349 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1350 unregistered.
1351
1352 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1353 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1354 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1355
1356 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

1659 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1660 depends on PCI && X86
1661 help
1662 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1663 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1664 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1665 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1666 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1667
1668 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1669 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1670 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1671
1672 Usage:
1673
1674 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1675 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1676
1677 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1678 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1679 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1680 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1681
1682 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1683 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1684

1925 interface for testing firmware loading. This can be used to
1926 control the triggering of firmware loading without needing an

1968 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
1969 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
1970 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
1971
1972 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
1973 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
1974 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
1975 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
1976 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
