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

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.

116 Usage:
117
118 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
Greg Kroah-Hartman239a5792020-02-10 13:11:42 -0800119 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
120 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
121 making use of this feature.
Dave Hansen604ff0d2013-07-01 13:04:49 -0700122 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
123 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
124 format for each line of the file is:
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
Krzysztof Kozlowski68d4b3d2019-12-06 17:04:08 -0800132 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
133 format : the format used for the debug statement

374 s390 and alpha require percpu variables in modules to be
375 defined weak to work around addressing range issue which
376 puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
377 definitions.
378
379 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
380 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function
381
382 To ensure that generic code follows the above rules, this
383 option forces all percpu variables to be defined as weak.

1054 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1055 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1056 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1057 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1058 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1059 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1060 deadlock.
1061
1062 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1063 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1064
1065 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1066 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1067 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1068 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1069 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1070 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1071 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1072 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1073 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1074
1075 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1076 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1077 kernel reports nothing.
1078
1079 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1080 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1081 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1082 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1083 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001285 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1312 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

1476 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1477 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1478 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1479 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1480 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1481
1482 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1483 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1484 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1485
1486 Usage:
1487
1488 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1489 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1490
1491 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1492 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1493 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1494 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1495
1496 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1497 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
