26 to every message.
27
28 This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
29 concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
30 interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
31 line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
32
33 Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
34 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or

83 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is

101 help
102
103 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
104 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
105 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
106 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
107 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
108 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
109
110 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
111 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
112 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
113 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
114
115 Usage:
116
117 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
118 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
119 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
120 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
121 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
122 format for each line of the file is:
123
124 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
125
126 filename : source file of the debug statement
127 lineno : line number of the debug statement
128 module : module that contains the debug statement
129 function : function that contains the debug statement
130 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
131 format : the format used for the debug statement
132
133 From a live system:
134
135 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
136 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
137 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
138 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
139 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
140
141 Example usage:
142
143 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
144 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
145 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
146
147 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
148 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
149 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
150
151 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
152 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
153 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
154
155 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
156 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
157 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

1107 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

1109 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1110 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1111 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1112 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1113 deadlock.
1114
1115 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1116 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1117
1118 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1119 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1120 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1121 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1122 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1123 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1124 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1125 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1126 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1127
1128 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1129 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1130 kernel reports nothing.
1131
1132 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1133 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1134 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and

1136 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001321 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting

1323 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long

1326 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1348 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1349 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1350 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1351 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1352 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1353 unregistered.
1354
1355 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1356 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1357 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1358
1359 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

1662 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1663 depends on PCI && X86
1664 help
1665 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1666 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1667 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1668 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1669 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1670
1671 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1672 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1673 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1674
1675 Usage:
1676
1677 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1678 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1679
1680 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1681 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1682 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1683 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1684
1685 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1686 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1687

1928 interface for testing firmware loading. This can be used to
1929 control the triggering of firmware loading without needing an

1971 Test the kernel's module loading mechanism: kmod. kmod implements
1972 support to load modules using the Linux kernel's usermode helper.
1973 This test provides a series of tests against kmod.
1974
1975 Although technically you can either build test_kmod as a module or
1976 into the kernel we disallow building it into the kernel since
1977 it stress tests request_module() and this will very likely cause
1978 some issues by taking over precious threads available from other
1979 module load requests, ultimately this could be fatal.
