53 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
54 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
55 using "boot_delay=N".

58 the "loops per jiffie" value.
59 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
60 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".

71 help
72
73 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
74 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
75 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
76 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
77 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
78 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
79
80 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
81 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
82 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
83 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
84
85 Usage:
86
87 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
88 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
89 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
90 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
91 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
92 format for each line of the file is:
93
94 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
95
96 filename : source file of the debug statement
97 lineno : line number of the debug statement
98 module : module that contains the debug statement
99 function : function that contains the debug statement
100 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
101 format : the format used for the debug statement
102
103 From a live system:
104
105 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
106 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
107 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
108 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
109 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
110
111 Example usage:
112
113 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
114 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
115 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

117 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
118 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

1117 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1118 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1119 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1120 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1121 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1122 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1123 deadlock.
1124
1125 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1126 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1127
1128 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1129 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1130 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1131 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1132 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1133 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1134 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1135 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1136 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1137
1138 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1139 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1140 kernel reports nothing.
1141
1142 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1143 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1144 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1145 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1146 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1260 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1261 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1262 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1263 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1264 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1265 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1266 it.

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001268 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1269 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1270 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1271 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1272 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1273 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
1274 However, since users can not do anything actionble to
1275 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1276 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1277
1278 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1279 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1295 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1296 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1297 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1298 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1299 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1300 unregistered.
1301
1302 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1303 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1304 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1305
1306 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1307 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1609 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1610 depends on PCI && X86
1611 help
1612 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1613 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1614 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1615 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1616 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1617
1618 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1619 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1620 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1621
1622 Usage:
1623
1624 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1625 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1626
1627 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1628 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1629 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1630 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1631
1632 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1633 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1634
1635 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

1645
1646 This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
1647 accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption. For
1648 example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
1649 not undergoing DMA.

1987 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
1988 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
1989 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
1990 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
1991 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
1992 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
1993
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08001994 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
1995 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
1996 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
1997 users of /dev/mem.

2005 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2006 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2007 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2008 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002010 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002011 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2012 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2013 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
