64 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
65 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
66 using "boot_delay=N".

69 the "loops per jiffie" value.
70 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
71 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".

82 help
83
84 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
85 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
86 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
87 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
88 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
89 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
90
91 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
92 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
93 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
94 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
95
96 Usage:
97
98 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
99 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
100 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
101 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
102 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
103 format for each line of the file is:
104
105 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
106
107 filename : source file of the debug statement
108 lineno : line number of the debug statement
109 module : module that contains the debug statement
110 function : function that contains the debug statement
111 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
112 format : the format used for the debug statement
113
114 From a live system:
115
116 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
117 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
118 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
119 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
120 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
121
122 Example usage:
123
124 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
125 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
126 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

1063 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

1065 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1066 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1067 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1068 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1069 deadlock.
1070
1071 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1072 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1073
1074 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1075 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1076 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1077 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1078 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1079 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1080 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1081 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1082 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1083
1084 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1085 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1086 kernel reports nothing.
1087
1088 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1089 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1090 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1091 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1092 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1269 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1270 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1271 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1272 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1273 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1274 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1275 it.
1276
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001277 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1278 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1279 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1280 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1281 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1282 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1283 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1284 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1285 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1286
1287 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1288 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1304 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1305 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1306 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1307 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1308 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1309 unregistered.
1310
1311 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1312 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1313 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1314
1315 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1316 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1317 kind of kobject release bug.

1618 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1619 depends on PCI && X86
1620 help
1621 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1622 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1623 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1624 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1625 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1626
1627 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1628 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1629 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1630
1631 Usage:
1632
1633 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1634 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1635
1636 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1637 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1638 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1639 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1640
1641 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1642 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1651 With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
1652 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1653 were never allocated.
1654
1655 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1656 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1657 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1658 not undergoing DMA.

2013 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2014 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2015 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2016 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2017 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2018 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002020 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2021 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2022 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2023 users of /dev/mem.

2031 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2032 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2033 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2034 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002036 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002037 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2038 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2039 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
