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.

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

1084 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1085 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1086 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1087 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1088 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1089 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1090 deadlock.
1091
1092 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1093 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1094
1095 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1096 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1097 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1098 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1099 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1100 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1101 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1102 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1103 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1104
1105 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1106 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1107 kernel reports nothing.
1108
1109 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1110 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1111 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1112 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1113 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1844 help
1845 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1846 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1847 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1848 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1849 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1850
1851 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1852 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1853 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1854
1855 Usage:
1856
1857 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1858 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1859
1860 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1861 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1862 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1863 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1864
1865 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1866 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
1867
1868 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

2016 If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all
2017 io-memory regardless of whether a driver is actively using that
2018 range. Accidental access to this is obviously disastrous, but
2019 specific access can be used by people debugging kernel drivers.

Dan Williams21266be2015-11-19 18:19:29 -08002021 If this option is switched on, the /dev/mem file only allows
Dan Williams90a545e2015-11-23 15:49:03 -08002022 userspace access to *idle* io-memory ranges (see /proc/iomem) This
2023 may break traditional users of /dev/mem (dosemu, legacy X, etc...)
2024 if the driver using a given range cannot be disabled.
