  4. help
  5. Selecting this option causes timing information to be
  6. included in printk output. This allows you to measure
  7. the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
  8. operations. This is useful for identifying long delays
  9. in kernel startup.

  38. If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
  39. if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
  40. will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
  41. immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
  42. by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
  43. also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
  44. send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
  45. keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
  46. unless you really know what this hack does.

  57. help
  58. Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
  59. that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
  60. option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
  61. some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
  62. encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
  63. using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
  64. this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
  65. wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
  66. mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
  67. you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
  68. your module is.
  69. config DEBUG_FS

  76. Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.

  80. depends on !UML
  81. help
  82. This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
  83. building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
  84. ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
  85. were not exported, etc.
  86. If you're making modifications to header files which are
  87. relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
  88. exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
  89. your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
  90. config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH

  94. # This option is on purpose disabled for now.
  95. # It will be enabled when we are down to a reasonable number
  96. # of section mismatch warnings (< 10 for an allyesconfig build)
  97. help
  98. The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
  99. references from one section to another section.
  100. Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
  101. and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
  102. most likely result in an oops.
  103. In the code functions and variables are annotated with
  104. __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
  105. which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
  106. The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
  107. kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
  108. do the following:
  109. - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
  110. When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
  111. function we would lose the section information and thus
  112. the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
  113. This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
  114. result in a larger kernel.
  115. - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
  116. When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
  117. lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
  118. introduced.
  119. Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
  120. will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
  121. source. The drawback is that we will report the same
  122. mismatch at least twice.
  123. - Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
  124. the section mismatches reported.

  141. help
  142. Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect
  143. hard and soft lockups.
  144. Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
  145. mode for more than 60 seconds, without giving other tasks a
  146. chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
  147. detection and the system will stay locked up.
  148. Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
  149. for more than 60 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
  150. chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
  151. and the system will stay locked up.
  152. The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
  153. generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 10-12 seconds.
  154. An NMI is generated every 60 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.

  166. The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
  167. to cause the system to reboot automatically after a

  224. scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
  225. stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler

  442. deadlock.

  444. related deadlocks before they actually occur.
  445. The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
  446. deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
  447. participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
  448. for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
  449. timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
  450. theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
  451. is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
  452. reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
  453. makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
  454. If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as

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

  969. Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not

  971. enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
  972. function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
  973. implicitly enables all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. The impact of
  974. this compile option is a larger kernel text size of about 2%.
  975. Usage:
  976. Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
  977. which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
  978. filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
  979. We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
  980. file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
  981. format for each line of the file is:
  982. filename:lineno [module]function flags format
  983. filename : source file of the debug statement
  984. lineno : line number of the debug statement
  985. module : module that contains the debug statement
  986. function : function that contains the debug statement
  987. flags : 'p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
  988. format : the format used for the debug statement
  989. From a live system:
  990. nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
  991. # filename:lineno [module]function flags format
