65 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
66 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
67 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
68 using "boot_delay=N".

70 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
71 the "loops per jiffie" value.
72 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
73 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
74 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

84 help
85
86 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
87 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
88 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
89 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
90 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
91 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
92
93 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
94 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
95 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
96 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
97
98 Usage:
99
100 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
101 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
102 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
103 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
104 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
105 format for each line of the file is:
106
107 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
108
109 filename : source file of the debug statement
110 lineno : line number of the debug statement
111 module : module that contains the debug statement
112 function : function that contains the debug statement
113 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
114 format : the format used for the debug statement
115
116 From a live system:
117
118 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
119 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
120 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
121 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
122 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
123
124 Example usage:
125
126 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
127 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
128 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
129
130 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
131 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >

133
134 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
135 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
136 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137
138 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
139 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
140 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

173 be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
174 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
175 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
176 DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.

1077 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

1079 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1080 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1081 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1082 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1083 deadlock.
1084
1085 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1086 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1087
1088 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1089 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1090 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1091 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1092 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1093 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1094 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1095 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1096 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1097
1098 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1099 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1100 kernel reports nothing.
1101
1102 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1103 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1104 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1105 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1106 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1283 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of

1285 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1286 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001291 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1292 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1293 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1294 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1295 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1296 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001297 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001298 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single

1318 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1319 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1320 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1321 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1322 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1323 unregistered.
1324
1325 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1326 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1327 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1328
1329 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1330 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this

1632 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1633 depends on PCI && X86
1634 help
1635 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1636 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1637 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1638 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1639 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1640
1641 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1642 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1643 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1644
1645 Usage:
1646
1647 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1648 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1649
1650 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1651 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1652 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1653 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1654
1655 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1656 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1962 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
1963 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
1964 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
1965
1966 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
1967 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
1968 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
1969 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
1970 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.

2044 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2045 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2046 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2047 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2048 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2049 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
