| 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 |

| 125 | |
| 126 | filename:lineno [module]function flags format |
| 127 | |
| 128 | filename : source file of the debug statement |
| 129 | lineno : line number of the debug statement |
| 130 | module : module that contains the debug statement |
| 131 | function : function that contains the debug statement |

| 1068 | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking |
| 1069 | that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically |
| 1070 | correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and |
| 1071 | not yet triggered) combination of observed locking |
| 1072 | sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an |
| 1073 | arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a |
| 1074 | deadlock. |
| 1075 | |
| 1076 | In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking |
| 1077 | related deadlocks before they actually occur. |
| 1078 | |
| 1079 | The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a |
| 1080 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many |
| 1081 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed |
| 1082 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on |
| 1083 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible |
| 1084 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario |
| 1085 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be |
| 1086 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that |
| 1087 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). |
| 1088 | |
| 1089 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as |
| 1090 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the |
| 1091 | kernel reports nothing. |
| 1092 | |
| 1093 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes |
| 1094 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these |
| 1095 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and |
| 1096 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an |
| 1097 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. |

| 1505 | As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling |

| 1507 | devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on |
| 1508 | the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. |
| 1509 | |
| 1510 | This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack |

| 2121 | Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements |
| 2122 | support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper. |
| 2123 | This test provides a series of tests against kmod. |

| 2125 | Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or |
| 2126 | into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since |
| 2127 | it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause |
| 2128 | some issues by taking over precious threads available from other |
| 2129 | module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal. |
