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".

58 the "loops per jiffie" value.
59 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
60 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
61 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

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"

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

1077 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1078 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
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.

1837 help
1838 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1839 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1840 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1841 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1842 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1843
1844 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1845 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1846 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1847
1848 Usage:
1849
1850 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1851 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1852
1853 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1854 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1855 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1856 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1857
1858 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1859 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1860
1861 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2009 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2010 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2011 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2012 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002014 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002015 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2016 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2017 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
