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".

93 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.

105 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
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
115 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

117 Usage:
118
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

389 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init

Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100391 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.

1227 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1228 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1229 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1230 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1231 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1232 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1233 deadlock.
1234
1235 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1236 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1237
1238 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1239 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1240 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1241 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1242 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1243 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1244 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1245 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1246 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1247
1248 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1249 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1250 kernel reports nothing.
1251
1252 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1253 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1254 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1255 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1256 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1681 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1682 depends on PCI && X86
1683 help
1684 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1685 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1686 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1687 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1688 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1689
1690 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1691 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1692 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1693
1694 Usage:
1695
1696 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1697 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1698
1699 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1700 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1701 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1702 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1703
1704 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1705 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

2404 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2405 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2406 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2407 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
2408 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
