11 | The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported | |

86 | ||
87 | Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not | |
88 | otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be | |
89 | enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file, | |
90 | function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism | |
91 | implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which | |
92 | enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%. | |
93 | ||
94 | If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any | |
95 | pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be | |
96 | disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is | |
97 | turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options. | |
98 | ||
99 | Usage: | |
100 | ||
101 | Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file, | |
102 | which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs | |
103 | filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature. | |
104 | We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This | |
105 | file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The | |
106 | format for each line of the file is: | |
107 | ||
108 | filename:lineno [module]function flags format | |
109 | ||
110 | filename : source file of the debug statement | |
111 | lineno : line number of the debug statement | |
112 | module : module that contains the debug statement | |
113 | function : function that contains the debug statement | |
114 | flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing | |
115 | format : the format used for the debug statement | |
116 | ||
117 | From a live system: | |
118 | ||
119 | nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | |
120 | # filename:lineno [module]function flags format | |
121 | fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012" | |
122 | fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012" | |
123 | fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012" | |
124 | ||
125 | Example usage: | |
126 | ||
127 | // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c | |
128 | nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' > | |

1127 | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking | |

1129 | correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and | |
1130 | not yet triggered) combination of observed locking | |
1131 | sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an | |
1132 | arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a | |
1133 | deadlock. | |
1134 | ||
1135 | In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking | |
1136 | related deadlocks before they actually occur. | |
1137 | ||
1138 | The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a | |
1139 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many | |
1140 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed | |
1141 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on | |
1142 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible | |
1143 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario | |
1144 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be | |
1145 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that | |
1146 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). | |
1147 | ||
1148 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as | |
1149 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the | |
1150 | kernel reports nothing. | |
1151 | ||
1152 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes | |
1153 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these | |
1154 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and | |
1155 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an | |
1156 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. | |

1294 | Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting |
1295 | a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can | |
1296 | result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long | |
1297 | time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and | |
1298 | so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can | |
1299 | to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted. | |
1300 | However, since users can not do anything actionble to | |
1301 | address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single | |
1302 | warning for the first use of unseeded randomness. | |
1303 | ||
1304 | Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of | |
1305 | unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for | |
1306 | those developers interersted in improving the security of | |

1308 | subarchitecture). | |

1321 | kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their | |
1322 | last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can | |
1323 | live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's | |

1325 | example of this would be a struct device which has just been | |

1623 | help | |
1624 | If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early | |
1625 | on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use | |
1626 | this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine | |
1627 | over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394 | |
1628 | specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers. | |
1629 | ||
1630 | With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using | |
1631 | firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb. | |
1632 | Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA. | |
1633 | ||
1634 | Usage: | |
1635 | ||
1636 | If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize | |
1637 | all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space. | |
1638 | ||
1639 | As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling | |
1640 | devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all | |
1641 | devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on | |
1642 | the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. | |
1643 | ||
1644 | This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack | |
1645 | in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead. | |
