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

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
150 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format

153 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
154
155 Example usage:

158 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

1250 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1251 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1252 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1253 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1254 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1255 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1256 deadlock.
1257
1258 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1259 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1260
1261 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1262 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1263 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1264 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1265 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1266 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1267 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1268 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1269 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1270
1271 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1272 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1273 kernel reports nothing.
1274
1275 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1276 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1277 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1278 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an

1726 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early

1729 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1730 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1731
1732 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1733 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1734 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1735
1736 Usage:
1737
1738 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1739 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1740
1741 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1742 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1743 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1744 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1745
1746 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1747 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
