8 depends on PRINTK
9 help
10 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
11 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
12 call and at the console.
13
14 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
15 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
16 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
17
18 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
19 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

21config PRINTK_CALLER
22 bool "Show caller information on printks"
23 depends on PRINTK
24 help
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
36 sysfs interface.

83 that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
84 priority.
85

95 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
96 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
97 using "boot_delay=N".
98
99 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100 the "loops per jiffie" value.
101 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
102 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
103 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
104 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
105 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
106 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

115
116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
122
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
127
128 Usage:
129
130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
131 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
132 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
133 making use of this feature.
134 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
135 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
136 format for each line of the file is:
137
138 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
139
140 filename : source file of the debug statement
141 lineno : line number of the debug statement
142 module : module that contains the debug statement
143 function : function that contains the debug statement
144 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145 format : the format used for the debug statement
146
147 From a live system:
148
149 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

155 Example usage:

434 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
435 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
436 most likely result in an oops.
437 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with

443 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
444 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init

1229 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1230 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1231 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1232 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1233 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1234 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1235 deadlock.
1236
1237 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1238 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1239
1240 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1241 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1242 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1243 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1244 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1245 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1246 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1247 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1248 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1249
1250 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1251 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1252 kernel reports nothing.
1253
1254 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1255 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1256 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1257 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1258 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1711
