| 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. |

| 1520 | kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their |
| 1521 | last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can |
| 1522 | live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's |
| 1523 | initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An |
| 1524 | example of this would be a struct device which has just been |
| 1525 | unregistered. |
| 1526 | |
| 1527 | However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation, |
| 1528 | the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This |
| 1529 | goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object. |
| 1530 | |
| 1531 | If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects |
| 1532 | on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this |
| 1533 | kind of kobject release bug. |

| 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. |

| 2400 | Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements |

| 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. |
