| 459 | help |
| 460 | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking |
| 461 | that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically |
| 462 | correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and |
| 463 | not yet triggered) combination of observed locking |
| 464 | sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an |
| 465 | arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a |
| 466 | deadlock. |
| 467 | |
| 468 | In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking |
| 469 | related deadlocks before they actually occur. |
| 470 | |
| 471 | The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a |
| 472 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many |
| 473 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed |
| 474 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on |
| 475 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible |
| 476 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario |
| 477 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be |
| 478 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that |
| 479 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). |
| 480 | |
| 481 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as |
| 482 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the |
| 483 | kernel reports nothing. |
| 484 | |
| 485 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes |
| 486 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these |
| 487 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and |
| 488 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an |
| 489 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. |

| 942 | |
| 943 | As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling |
| 944 | devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all |
| 945 | devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on |
| 946 | the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. |
| 947 | |
| 948 | This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack |
| 949 | in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead. |

| 988 | |
Jason Baron | 86151fd | 2009-02-05 11:53:15 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 989 | Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/ddebug' file, |

| 991 | filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature. |
| 992 | We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug. This |
| 993 | file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The |
| 994 | format for each line of the file is: |
