Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()

The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported

This option is intended for environments where multiple threads

concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to

interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
|
|
line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.

This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
|
|
by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
|
|
specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
|
|
using "boot_delay=N".
|
|
|
|
It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
|
|
the "loops per jiffie" value.
|
|
See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
|
|
system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
|
|
NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
|
|
I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.

BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect

Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
|
|
otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
|
|
enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
|
|
function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
|
|
implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
|
|
enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
|
|
|
|
If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
|
|
pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
|
|
disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
|
|
turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
|
|
which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
|
|
Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
|
|
making use of this feature.
|
|
We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
|
|
file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
|
|
format for each line of the file is:
|
|
|
|
filename:lineno [module]function flags format
|
|
|
|
filename : source file of the debug statement
|
|
lineno : line number of the debug statement
|
|
module : module that contains the debug statement
|
|
function : function that contains the debug statement
|
|
flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
|
|
format : the format used for the debug statement
|
|
|
|
From a live system:
|
|
|
|
nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
|
|
# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
|
|
fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

|
|
fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
|
|
// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
|
|
nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal

references from one section to another section.
|
|
During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
|
|
any use of code/data previously in these sections would
|
|
most likely result in an oops.
|
|
In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
|
|
__init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
|
|
which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
|
|
The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full

kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
|
|
additional step to occur:
|
|
- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
|
|
When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
|
|
function, we would lose the section information and thus

the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.

This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
|
|
that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
|
|
correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
|
|
not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
|
|
sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
|
|
arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
|
|
deadlock.
|
|
|
|
In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
|
|
related deadlocks before they actually occur.
|
|
|
|
The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
|
|
deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
|
|
participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
|
|
for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
|
|
timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
|
|
theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
|
|
is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
|
|
reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
|
|
makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
|
|
|
|
If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
|
|
observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
|
|
kernel reports nothing.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
|
|
and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
|
|
different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
|
|
the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
|
|
arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their

initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An

example of this would be a struct device which has just been

unregistered.

However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,

the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This

goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.

If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

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