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
36 sysfs interface.

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
Krzysztof Kozlowski68d4b3d2019-12-06 17:04:08 -0800131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
Dave Hansen604ff0d2013-07-01 13:04:49 -0700133
134 From a live system:
135

386 defined weak to work around addressing range issue which
387 puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
388 definitions.
389
390 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
391 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function

1055 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1056 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1057 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1058 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1059 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1060 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1061 deadlock.
1062
1063 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1064 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1065
1066 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1067 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1068 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1069 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1070 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1071 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1072 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1073 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1074 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1075
1076 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1077 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1078 kernel reports nothing.
1079
1080 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1081 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1082 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1083 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1084 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1296 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

1460 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early

1462 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1463 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1464 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1465
1466 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1467 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1468 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

1470 Usage:
1471
1472 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1473 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1474
1475 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1476 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1477 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1478 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1479
1480 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1481 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
