5config PRINTK_TIME
6	bool "Show timing information on printks"
7	depends on PRINTK
8	help
9	  Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
10	  messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
11	  call and at the console.
12
13	  The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
14	  to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
15	  be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
16
17	  The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
18	  parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
19
20config PRINTK_CALLER
21	bool "Show caller information on printks"
22	depends on PRINTK
23	help
24	  Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
25	  in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
26	  to every message.
27
28	  This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
29	  concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
30	  interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
31	  line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
32
33	  Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
34	  no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
35	  sysfs interface.
36
37config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
38	int "Default console loglevel (1-15)"
39	range 1 15
40	default "7"
41	help
42	  Default loglevel to determine what will be printed on the console.
43
44	  Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in
45	  the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever
46	  value is specified here as well.
47
48	  Note: This does not affect the log level of un-prefixed printk()
49	  usage in the kernel. That is controlled by the MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
50	  option.
51
52config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET
53	int "quiet console loglevel (1-15)"
54	range 1 15
55	default "4"
56	help
57	  loglevel to use when "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline.
58
59	  When "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline this loglevel
60	  will be used as the loglevel. IOW passing "quiet" will be the
61	  equivalent of passing "loglevel=<CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET>"
62
63config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
64	int "Default message log level (1-7)"
65	range 1 7
66	default "4"
67	help
68	  Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
69
70	  This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
71	  that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
72	  priority.
73
74	  Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
75	  by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,
76	  or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
77
78config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
79	bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
80	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
81	help
82	  This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
83	  by inserting a short delay after each one.  The delay is
84	  specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
85	  using "boot_delay=N".
86
87	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
88	  the "loops per jiffie" value.
89	  See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
90	  system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
91	  NOTE:  Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
92	  I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
93	  BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
94	  what it believes to be lockup conditions.
95
96config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
97	bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
98	default n
99	depends on PRINTK
100	depends on DEBUG_FS
101	help
102
103	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
104	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
105	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
106	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
107	  implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
108	  enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
109
110	  If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
111	  pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
112	  disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
113	  turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
114
115	  Usage:
116
117	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
118	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
119	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
120	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
121	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
122	  format for each line of the file is:
123
124		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
125
126	  filename : source file of the debug statement
127	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
128	  module : module that contains the debug statement
129	  function : function that contains the debug statement
130          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
131          format : the format used for the debug statement
132
133	  From a live system:
134
135		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
136		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
137		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
138		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
139		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
140
141	  Example usage:
142
143		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
144		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
145						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
146
147		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
148		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
149						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
150
151		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
152		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
153						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
154
155		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
156		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
157						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
158

172	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !COMPILE_TEST
173	help
174          If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
175	  debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
176	  This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
177	  is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
178	  tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.
179	  Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.
180

182
183config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
184	bool "Reduce debugging information"
185	depends on DEBUG_INFO
186	help
187	  If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
188	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
189	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
190	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
191	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
192	  build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
193	  DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
194	  Only works with newer gcc versions.
195
196config DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
197	bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
198	depends on DEBUG_INFO
199	depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf)
200	help
201	  Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
202	  reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
203	  because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
204	  files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
205	  In addition the debug information is also compressed.
206
207	  Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
208	  Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
209	  to know about the .dwo files and include them.
210	  Incompatible with older versions of ccache.

216	help
217	  Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
218	  of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.
219	  But it significantly improves the success of resolving
220	  variables in gdb on optimized code.

284	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
285	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
286	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
287	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
288	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
289	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
290	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a

311	  This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
312	  building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
313	  ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
314	  were not exported, etc.
315
316	  If you're making modifications to header files which are
317	  relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
318	  exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in

320
321config OPTIMIZE_INLINING
322	bool "Allow compiler to uninline functions marked 'inline'"
323	help
324	  This option determines if the kernel forces gcc to inline the functions
325	  developers have marked 'inline'. Doing so takes away freedom from gcc to
326	  do what it thinks is best, which is desirable for the gcc 3.x series of
327	  compilers. The gcc 4.x series have a rewritten inlining algorithm and
328	  enabling this option will generate a smaller kernel there. Hopefully
329	  this algorithm is so good that allowing gcc 4.x and above to make the
330	  decision will become the default in the future. Until then this option
331	  is there to test gcc for this.
332

334
335config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
336	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
337	help
338	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
339	  references from one section to another section.
340	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
341	  any use of code/data previously in these sections would
342	  most likely result in an oops.
343	  In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
344	  __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
345	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
346	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
347	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
348	  additional steps to occur:
349	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
350	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
351	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
352	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
353	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
354	    a larger kernel).
355	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.a file.
356	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
357	    lose valuable information about where the mismatch was
358	    introduced.
359	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.a file
360	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
361	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
362	    reported at least twice.
363	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
364	    the section mismatches that are reported.

1103	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
1104	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
1105	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
1106	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
1107	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
1108	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
1109	 deadlock.
1110
1111	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
1112	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1113
1114	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1115	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1116	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1117	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1118	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1119	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1120	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1121	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1122	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1123
1124	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1125	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1126	 kernel reports nothing.
1127
1128	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
1129	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1130	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1131	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1132	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1660	help
1661	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1662	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1663	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1664	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1665	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1666
1667	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1668	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1669	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1670
1671	  Usage:
1672
1673	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1674	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1675
1676	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1677	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1678	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1679	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1680
1681	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1682	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
