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.

35 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or

116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
122
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
127
128 Usage:
129
130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
Greg Kroah-Hartman239a5792020-02-10 13:11:42 -0800131 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
132 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
133 making use of this feature.
Dave Hansen604ff0d2013-07-01 13:04:49 -0700134 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
135 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
136 format for each line of the file is:
137
138 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
139
140 filename : source file of the debug statement
141 lineno : line number of the debug statement
142 module : module that contains the debug statement
143 function : function that contains the debug statement
Krzysztof Kozlowski68d4b3d2019-12-06 17:04:08 -0800144 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145 format : the format used for the debug statement

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

1164 This builds the "test_lockup" module that helps to make sure
1165 that watchdogs and lockup detectors are working properly.
1166
1167 Depending on module parameters it could emulate soft or hard
1168 lockup, "hung task", or locking arbitrary lock for a long time.
1169 Also it could generate series of lockups with cooling-down periods.

1249 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1250 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1251 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1252 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1253 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1254 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1255 deadlock.
1256
1257 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1258 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1259
1260 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1261 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1262 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1263 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1264 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1265 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1266 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1267 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1268 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1269
1270 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1271 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1272 kernel reports nothing.
1273
1274 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1275 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1276 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1277 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1278 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1547 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1548 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1549 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1550 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1551 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1552 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1553 it.
1554
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001555 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1556 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1557 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1558 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1559 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1560 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001561 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001562 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1563 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1564
1565 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1566 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001567 those developers interested in improving the security of

1582 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1583 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1584 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1585 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1586 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1587 unregistered.
1588
1589 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1590 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1591 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1592
1593 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1594 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1716 depends on PCI && X86
1717 help
1718 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1719 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1720 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1721 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1722 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1723
1724 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1725 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1726 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1727
1728 Usage:
1729
1730 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1731 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1732
1733 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1734 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1735 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1736 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1737
1738 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1739 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
