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".

70 depends on DEBUG_FS
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' >

1074 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1075 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1076 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1077 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1078 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1079 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1080 deadlock.
1081
1082 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1083 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1084
1085 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1086 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1087 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1088 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1089 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1090 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1091 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1092 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1093 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1094
1095 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1096 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1097 kernel reports nothing.
1098
1099 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1100 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1101 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1102 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1103 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1251 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1252 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1253 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1254 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1255 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1256 unregistered.
1257
1258 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1259 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1260 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1261
1262 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1263 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1264 kind of kobject release bug.

1896 help
1897 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1898 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1899 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1900 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1901 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1902
1903 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1904 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1905 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1906
1907 Usage:
1908
1909 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1910 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1911
1912 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1913 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1914 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1915 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1916
1917 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1918 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1919
1920 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2050 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2051 of memory, including kernel and userspace memory. Accidental
2052 access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can
2053 be used by people debugging the kernel. Note that with PAT support
2054 enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
2055 use due to the cache aliasing requirements.
2056
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002057 If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
2058 file only allows userspace access to PCI space and the BIOS code and
2059 data regions. This is sufficient for dosemu and X and all common
2060 users of /dev/mem.

2068 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
