  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.
  47. config UNUSED_SYMBOLS

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

  72. depends on !UML
  73. help
  74. This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
  75. building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
  76. ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
  77. were not exported, etc.
  78. If you're making modifications to header files which are
  79. relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
  80. exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
  81. your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.

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

  126. interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
  127. Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those

  132. default y
  133. help
  134. Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "soft lockups",
  135. which are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
  136. mode for more than 10 seconds, without giving other tasks a
  137. chance to run.
  138. When a soft-lockup is detected, the kernel will print the
  139. current stack trace (which you should report), but the
  140. system will stay locked up. This feature has negligible
  141. overhead.
  142. (Note that "hard lockups" are separate type of bugs that
  143. can be detected via the NMI-watchdog, on platforms that
  144. support it.)

  152. option is minimal.
  153. config SCHEDSTATS
  154. bool "Collect scheduler statistics"
  155. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
  156. help
  157. If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
  158. scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
  159. scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
  160. stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
  161. If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
  162. application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
  163. this adds.
  164. config TIMER_STATS
  165. bool "Collect kernel timers statistics"
  166. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PROC_FS
  167. help
  168. If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
  169. timer routines to collect statistics about kernel timers being
  170. reprogrammed. The statistics can be read from /proc/timer_stats.
  171. The statistics collection is started by writing 1 to /proc/timer_stats,
  172. writing 0 stops it. This feature is useful to collect information
  173. about timer usage patterns in kernel and userspace. This feature
  174. is lightweight if enabled in the kernel config but not activated
  175. (it defaults to deactivated on bootup and will only be activated
  176. if some application like powertop activates it explicitly).
  177. config DEBUG_SLAB
  178. bool "Debug slab memory allocations"
  179. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && SLAB
  180. help
  181. Say Y here to have the kernel do limited verification on memory
  182. allocation as well as poisoning memory on free to catch use of freed

  194. equivalent to specifying the "slub_debug" parameter on boot.
  195. There is no support for more fine grained debug control like

  203. help
  204. SLUB statistics are useful to debug SLUBs allocation behavior in
  205. order find ways to optimize the allocator. This should never be
  206. enabled for production use since keeping statistics slows down
  207. the allocator by a few percentage points. The slabinfo command

  214. default y
  215. help
  216. If you say Y here then the kernel will use a debug variant of the
  217. commonly used smp_processor_id() function and will print warnings
  218. if kernel code uses it in a preemption-unsafe way. Also, the kernel
  219. will detect preemption count underflows.

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

  532. depends on PCI && X86
  533. help
  534. If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
  535. on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
  536. this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
  537. over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
  538. specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
  539. With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
  540. firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
  541. Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
  542. Usage:
  543. If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
  544. all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
  545. As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
  546. devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
  547. devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
  548. the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
  549. This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
  550. in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
