6config PRINTK_TIME
7	bool "Show timing information on printks"
8	depends on PRINTK
9	help
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
19	  parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
20
21config PRINTK_CALLER
22	bool "Show caller information on printks"
23	depends on PRINTK
24	help
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.

38config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
39	int "Default console loglevel (1-15)"
40	range 1 15
41	default "7"
42	help
43	  Default loglevel to determine what will be printed on the console.
44
45	  Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in
46	  the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever
47	  value is specified here as well.
48
49	  Note: This does not affect the log level of un-prefixed printk()
50	  usage in the kernel. That is controlled by the MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
51	  option.
52
53config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET
54	int "quiet console loglevel (1-15)"
55	range 1 15
56	default "4"
57	help
58	  loglevel to use when "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline.
59
60	  When "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline this loglevel
61	  will be used as the loglevel. IOW passing "quiet" will be the
62	  equivalent of passing "loglevel=<CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET>"
63
64config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
65	int "Default message log level (1-7)"
66	range 1 7
67	default "4"
68	help
69	  Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
70
71	  This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
72	  that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
73	  priority.
74
75	  Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
76	  by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,
77	  or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
78
79config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
80	bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
81	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
82	help
83	  This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
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".
87
88	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
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.
93	  I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
94	  BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
95	  what it believes to be lockup conditions.

104
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.
116
117	  Usage:
118
119	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
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.
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
133	  flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
134	  format : the format used for the debug statement
135
136	  From a live system:
137
138		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
139		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
140		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
141		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
142		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
143
144	  Example usage:
145
146		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
147		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
148						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
149
150		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
151		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
152						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
153
154		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
155		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
156						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
157
158		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

173	help
174	  Enable core functional support of dynamic debug. It is useful
175	  when you want to tie dynamic debug to your kernel modules with
176	  DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for each of them, especially for
177	  the case of embedded system where the kernel image size is

184	  If you say Y here, the kernel's printf implementation will
185	  be able to print symbolic error names such as ENOSPC instead
186	  of the number 28. It makes the kernel image slightly larger
187	  (about 3KB), but can make the kernel logs easier to read.

206	  If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
207	  debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
208	  This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
209	  is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
210	  tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.

217config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
218	bool "Reduce debugging information"
219	help
220	  If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
221	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
222	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
223	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
224	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
225	  build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
226	  DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
227	  Only works with newer gcc versions.
228

233	help
234	  Compress the debug information using zlib.  Requires GCC 5.0+ or Clang
235	  5.0+, binutils 2.26+, and zlib.
236
237	  Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in
238	  size of their debug .deb packages with this config set, due to the
239	  debug info being compressed with zlib, then the object files being
240	  recompressed with a different compression scheme. But this is still
241	  preferable to setting $KDEB_COMPRESS to "none" which would be even

245	bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
246	depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf)
247	help
248	  Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
249	  reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
250	  because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
251	  files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
252	  In addition the debug information is also compressed.
253
254	  Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
255	  Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
256	  to know about the .dwo files and include them.
257	  Incompatible with older versions of ccache.

263	  Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
264	  of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.

335
336config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
337	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
338	help
339	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
340	  references from one section to another section.
341	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
342	  any use of code/data previously in these sections would
343	  most likely result in an oops.
344	  In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
345	  __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
346	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
347	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
348	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
349	  additional step to occur:
350	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
351	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
352	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
353	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
354	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
355	    a larger kernel).
