25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
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.

102 help
103
104 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
105 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
106 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
107 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
108 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
109 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
110
111 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
112 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
113 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
114 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
115
116 Usage:
117
118 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
119 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
120 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
121 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
122 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
123 format for each line of the file is:
124
125 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
126
127 filename : source file of the debug statement
128 lineno : line number of the debug statement
129 module : module that contains the debug statement
130 function : function that contains the debug statement
131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134 From a live system:
135
136 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
139 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
140 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
141
142 Example usage:
143
144 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
145 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
146 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
147
148 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
149 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
150 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
151
152 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
153 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
154 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

408 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
409 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
410 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
411 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
412 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The

1082 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1083 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1084 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1085 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1086 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1087 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1088 deadlock.
1089
1090 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1091 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1092
1093 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1094 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1095 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1096 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1097 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1098 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1099 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1100 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1101 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1102
1103 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1104 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1105 kernel reports nothing.
1106
1107 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1108 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1109 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1110 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1111 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1288 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1290 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1291 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001296 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1298 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1323 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1324 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1325 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1326 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1327 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1328 unregistered.
1329
1330 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1331 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1332 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1333

1637 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1638 depends on PCI && X86
1639 help
1640 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1641 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1642 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1643 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1644 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1645
1646 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1647 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1648 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1649
1650 Usage:
1651
1652 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1653 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1654
1655 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1656 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1657 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1658 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1659
1660 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1661 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1662
1663 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1904 against the BPF interpreter or BPF JIT compiler depending on the

2010 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
2011 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
2012 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
2013 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
