25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
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
85 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
86 using "boot_delay=N".

89 the "loops per jiffie" value.

91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

102 help
103
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.
115
116 Usage:
117
118 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
119 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
120 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
121 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
122 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
123 format for each line of the file is:
124
125 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
126
127 filename : source file of the debug statement
128 lineno : line number of the debug statement
129 module : module that contains the debug statement
130 function : function that contains the debug statement
131 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132 format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134 From a live system:
135
136 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
139 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
140 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
141
142 Example usage:
143
144 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
145 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
146 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
147
148 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
149 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
150 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
151
152 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module
153 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
154 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

410 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
411 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
412 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
413 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
414 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The

1043 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1044 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1045 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1046 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1047 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1048 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1049 deadlock.
1050
1051 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1052 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1053
1054 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1055 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1056 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1057 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1058 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1059 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1060 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1061 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1062 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1063
1064 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1065 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1066 kernel reports nothing.
1067
1068 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1069 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1070 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1071 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1072 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1249 Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1250 cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1251 to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1252 flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1253 occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1254 are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1255 it.
1256
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001257 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1258 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1259 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1260 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1261 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1262 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
Thibaut Sautereau4c5d1142018-09-04 15:46:23 -07001263 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
Theodore Ts'oeecabf52017-06-08 04:16:59 -04001264 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single

1284 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1285 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1286 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1287 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1288 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1289 unregistered.
1290
1291 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1292 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1293 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1294

1456 help
1457 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1458 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1459 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1460 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1461 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1462
1463 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1464 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1465 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1466
1467 Usage:
1468
1469 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1470 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1471
1472 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1473 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1474 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1475 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1476
1477 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1478 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
