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

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

1255 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1256 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1257 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1258 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1259 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1260 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1261 deadlock.
1262
1263 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1264 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1265
1266 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1267 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1268 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1269 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1270 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1271 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1272 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1273 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1274 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1275
1276 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1277 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1278 kernel reports nothing.
1279
1280 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1281 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1282 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1283 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1284 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1553 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1554 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1555 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1556 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1557 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1558 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1559 it.
1560
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001561 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1562 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1563 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1564 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1565 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1566 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001567 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001568 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1569 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.

1571 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1572 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001573 those developers interested in improving the security of

1588 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1589 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1590 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1591 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1592 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1593 unregistered.
1594
1595 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1596 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1597 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1598
1599 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1600 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1722 depends on PCI && X86
1723 help
1724 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1725 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1726 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1727 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1728 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1729
1730 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1731 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1732 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1733
1734 Usage:
1735
1736 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1737 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1738
1739 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1740 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1741 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1742 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1743
1744 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1745 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
