10 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
11 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
12 call and at the console.
13
14 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
15 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
16 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
17
18 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
8c27ceff 19 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst

25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
27 to every message.
28
29 This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
30 concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
31 interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
32 line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
33
34 Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
35 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
36 sysfs interface.

84 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
85 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
86 using "boot_delay=N".

89 the "loops per jiffie" value.
90 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
91 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
92 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.

105 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
106 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
107 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
108 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
109 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
110 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
111
112 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
113 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
114 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
115 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

119 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
239a5791

120 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
121 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
122 making use of this feature.
604ff0dc
DH
123 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
124 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
125 format for each line of the file is:
126
127 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
128
129 filename : source file of the debug statement
130 lineno : line number of the debug statement
131 module : module that contains the debug statement
132 function : function that contains the debug statement
68d4b3df

133 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
134 format : the format used for the debug statement

1226 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1227 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1228 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1229 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1230 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1231 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1232 deadlock.
1233
1234 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1235 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1236
1237 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1238 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1239 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1240 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1241 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1242 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1243 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1244 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1245 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1246
1247 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1248 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1249 kernel reports nothing.
1250
1251 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1252 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1253 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1254 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1255 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1484 Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1485 a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1486 result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1487 time. This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1488 so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1489 to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.
4c5d114e 1490 However, since users cannot do anything actionable to
eecabf56
TT
1491 address this, by default the kernel will issue only a single
1492 warning for the first use of unseeded randomness.
1493
1494 Say Y here if you want to receive warnings for all uses of
1495 unseeded randomness. This will be of use primarily for

1510 help
1511 kobjects are reference counted objects. This means that their
1512 last reference count put is not predictable, and the kobject can
1513 live on past the point at which a driver decides to drop it's
1514 initial reference to the kobject gained on allocation. An
1515 example of this would be a struct device which has just been
1516 unregistered.
1517
1518 However, some buggy drivers assume that after such an operation,
1519 the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed. This
1520 goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1521
1522 If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects
1523 on the last reference count to improve the visibility of this
1524 kind of kobject release bug.

1673 depends on PCI && X86
1674 help
1675 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1676 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1677 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1678 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1679 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1680
1681 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1682 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1683 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1684
1685 Usage:
1686
1687 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1688 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1689
1690 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1691 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1692 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1693 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1694
1695 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1696 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1958 If you are doing generic system call fuzzing (like e.g. syzkaller),
1959 then you will want to instrument the whole kernel and you should
1960 say y here. If you are doing more targeted fuzzing (like e.g.
1961 filesystem fuzzing with AFL) then you will want to enable coverage
1962 for more specific subsets of files, and should say n here.

2491 freeing a block of pages and a speculative page reference.
2492 Loading this module is safe if your kernel has the bug fixed.
2493 If the bug is not fixed, it will leak gigabytes of memory and
2494 probably OOM your system.
