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

21	help
22	  Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
23
24	  This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
25	  that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
26	  priority.

30	default y
31	help
32	  Enable the __deprecated logic in the kernel build.

57	depends on !UML
58	help
59	  If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
60	  if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
61	  will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
62	  immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
63	  by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
64	  also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
65	  send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
66	  keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y
67	  unless you really know what this hack does.

80        help
81          Disable some compiler optimizations that tend to generate human unreadable
82          assembler output. This may make the kernel slightly slower, but it helps
83          to keep kernel developers who have to stare a lot at assembler listings
84          sane.
85
86config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
87	bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
88	default y if X86
89	help
90	  Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger.  For
91	  that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed.  This
92	  option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
93	  some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
94	  encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
95	  using the right API.  (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
96	  this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
97	  wrong interface to use).  If you really need the symbol, please send a
98	  mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
99	  you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
100	  your module is.

118	  This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
119	  building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
120	  ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
121	  were not exported, etc.
122
123	  If you're making modifications to header files which are
124	  relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
125	  exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
126	  your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
127
128config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
129	bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
130	help
131	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
132	  references from one section to another section.
133	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
134	  any use of code/data previously in these sections would
135	  most likely result in an oops.
136	  In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
137	  __init, __devinit, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
138	  which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
139	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
140	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
141	  additional steps to occur:
142	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
143	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
144	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
145	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
146	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
147	    a larger kernel).
148	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
149	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
150	    lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
151	    introduced.
152	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
153	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
154	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
155	    reported at least twice.
156	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
157	    the section mismatches that are reported.

168	help
169	  Enable this to generate a spurious interrupt as soon as a shared
170	  interrupt handler is registered, and just before one is deregistered.
171	  Drivers ought to be able to handle interrupts coming in at those
172	  points; some don't and need to be caught.
173
174config LOCKUP_DETECTOR
175	bool "Detect Hard and Soft Lockups"
176	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !S390
177	help
178	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to act as a watchdog to detect
179	  hard and soft lockups.
180
181	  Softlockups are bugs that cause the kernel to loop in kernel
182	  mode for more than 20 seconds, without giving other tasks a
183	  chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon
184	  detection and the system will stay locked up.
185
186	  Hardlockups are bugs that cause the CPU to loop in kernel mode
187	  for more than 10 seconds, without letting other interrupts have a
188	  chance to run.  The current stack trace is displayed upon detection
189	  and the system will stay locked up.
190
191	  The overhead should be minimal.  A periodic hrtimer runs to
192	  generate interrupts and kick the watchdog task every 4 seconds.
193	  An NMI is generated every 10 seconds or so to check for hardlockups.
194
195	  The frequency of hrtimer and NMI events and the soft and hard lockup
196	  thresholds can be controlled through the sysctl watchdog_thresh.

228
229	  The panic can be used in combination with panic_timeout,

249	  Say Y here to enable the kernel to detect "hung tasks",
250	  which are bugs that cause the task to be stuck in
251	  uninterruptible "D" state indefinitiley.
252
253	  When a hung task is detected, the kernel will print the
254	  current stack trace (which you should report), but the
255	  task will stay in uninterruptible state. If lockdep is
256	  enabled then all held locks will also be reported. This
257	  feature has negligible overhead.

264	  This option controls the default timeout (in seconds) used
265	  to determine when a task has become non-responsive and should
266	  be considered hung.
267
268	  It can be adjusted at runtime via the kernel.hung_task_timeout_secs
269	  sysctl or by writing a value to
270	  /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs.
271
272	  A timeout of 0 disables the check.  The default is two minutes.
273	  Keeping the default should be fine in most cases.

314	  stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
315	  If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific

322	help
323	  If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the

325	  reprogrammed. The statistics can be read from /proc/timer_stats.
326	  The statistics collection is started by writing 1 to /proc/timer_stats,
327	  writing 0 stops it. This feature is useful to collect information
328	  about timer usage patterns in kernel and userspace. This feature

553	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
554	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
555	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
556	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
557	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
558	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
559	 deadlock.
560
561	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
562	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
563
564	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
565	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
566	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
567	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
568	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
569	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
570	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
571	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
572	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
573
574	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
575	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
576	 kernel reports nothing.
577
578	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
579	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
580	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
581	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an

1161config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
1162	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
1163	depends on PCI && X86
1164	help
1165	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1166	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1167	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1168	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1169	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1170
1171	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1172	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1173	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1174
1175	  Usage:
1176
1177	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1178	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1179
1180	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1181	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1182	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1183	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1184
1185	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1186	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

1215	help
1216
1217	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
1218	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
1219	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
1220	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
1221	  implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
1222	  enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
1223
1224	  If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
1225	  pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
1226	  disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
1227	  turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
1228
1229	  Usage:
1230
1231	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
1232	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
1233	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
1234	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
1235	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
1236	  format for each line of the file is:
1237
1238		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
1239
1240	  filename : source file of the debug statement
1241	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
1242	  module : module that contains the debug statement
1243	  function : function that contains the debug statement
1244          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
1245          format : the format used for the debug statement
1246
1247	  From a live system:
1248
1249		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
1250		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
1251		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
