  1. config PRINTK_TIME
  2. bool "Show timing information on printks"
  3. depends on PRINTK
  4. help
  5. Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
  6. messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
  7. call and at the console.
  8. The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
  9. to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
  10. be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
  11. The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
  12. parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
  13. config DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL

  15. range 1 7
  16. default "4"
  17. help
  18. Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
  19. This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
  20. that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
  21. priority.
  22. config ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED

  46. config MAGIC_SYSRQ
  47. bool "Magic SysRq key"
  48. depends on !UML
  49. help
  50. If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
  51. if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
  52. will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
  53. immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
  54. by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
  55. also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
  56. send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
  57. keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
  58. unless you really know what this hack does.
  59. config STRIP_ASM_SYMS
  60. bool "Strip assembler-generated symbols during link"
  61. default n
  62. help
  63. Strip internal assembler-generated symbols during a link (symbols
  64. that look like '.Lxxx') so they don't pollute the output of
  65. get_wchan() and suchlike.
  66. config READABLE_ASM
  67. bool "Generate readable assembler code"
  68. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  69. help
  70. Disable some compiler optimizations that tend to generate human unreadable
  71. assembler output. This may make the kernel slightly slower, but it helps
  72. to keep kernel developers who have to stare a lot at assembler listings
  73. sane.
  74. config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
  75. bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
  76. default y if X86
  77. help
  78. Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
  79. that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
  80. option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
  81. some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
  82. encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
  83. using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
  84. this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
  85. wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
  86. mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
  87. you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
  88. your module is.
  89. config DEBUG_FS
  90. bool "Debug Filesystem"
  91. help
  92. debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
  93. debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and
  94. write to these files.
  95. For detailed documentation on the debugfs API, see
  96. Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.
  97. If unsure, say N.
  98. config HEADERS_CHECK
  99. bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"
  100. depends on !UML
  101. help
  102. This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
  103. building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
  104. ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
  105. were not exported, etc.
  106. If you're making modifications to header files which are
  107. relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
  108. exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
  109. your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
  110. config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
  111. bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
  112. help
  113. The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
  114. references from one section to another section.
  115. During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
  116. any use of code/data previously in these sections would
  117. most likely result in an oops.
  118. In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
  119. __init, __devinit, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
  120. which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
  121. The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
  122. kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
  123. additional steps to occur:
  124. - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
  125. When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
  126. function, we would lose the section information and thus
  127. the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
  128. This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
  129. a larger kernel).
  130. - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
  131. When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
  132. lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
  133. introduced.
  134. Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
  135. tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
  136. source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
  137. reported at least twice.
  138. - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
  139. the section mismatches that are reported.
  140. config DEBUG_KERNEL

  148. help
  149. Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
  150. interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
  151. Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those

  153. config LOCKUP_DETECTOR
  154. bool "Detect Hard and Soft Lockups"
  155. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !S390
  156. help
  157. Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect
  158. hard and soft lockups.
  159. Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
  160. mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
  161. chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon
  162. detection and the system will stay locked up.
  163. Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
  164. for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
  165. chance to run. The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
  166. and the system will stay locked up.
  167. The overhead should be minimal. A periodic hrtimer runs to
  168. generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
  169. An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
  170. The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
  171. thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.

  198. The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,
  199. to cause the system to reboot automatically after a
  200. lockup has been detected. This feature is useful for
  201. high-availability systems that have uptime guarantees and

  507. deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
  508. participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
  509. for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on

  511. theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
  512. is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
  513. reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that

  1180. Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
  1181. With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
  1182. drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
  1183. were never allocated.
  1184. This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want
  1185. to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
