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.
37
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.
96
97config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
98	bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
99	default n
100	depends on PRINTK
101	depends on DEBUG_FS
102	help
103
104	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
105	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
106	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
107	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
108	  implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
109	  enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
110
111	  If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
112	  pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
113	  disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
114	  turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
115
116	  Usage:
117
118	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
119	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
120	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
121	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
122	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
123	  format for each line of the file is:
124
125		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
126
127	  filename : source file of the debug statement
128	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
129	  module : module that contains the debug statement
130	  function : function that contains the debug statement
131          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
132          format : the format used for the debug statement
133
134	  From a live system:
135
136		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
137		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
138		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
139		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
140		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
141
142	  Example usage:
143
144		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
145		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
146						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
147
148		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
149		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
150						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
151
152		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
153		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
154						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
155
156		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
157		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >

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

184config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
185	bool "Reduce debugging information"
186	depends on DEBUG_INFO
187	help
188	  If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
189	  information for structure types. This means that tools that
190	  need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
191	  be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
192	  resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
193	  build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
194	  DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
195	  Only works with newer gcc versions.
196

198	bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
199	depends on DEBUG_INFO
200	depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf)
201	help
202	  Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
203	  reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
204	  because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
205	  files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
206	  In addition the debug information is also compressed.
207
208	  Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
209	  Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
210	  to know about the .dwo files and include them.
211	  Incompatible with older versions of ccache.

218	  Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions

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

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

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

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 steps 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).
356	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.a file.
357	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we
358	    lose valuable information about where the mismatch was
359	    introduced.
360	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.a file
361	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
362	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
363	    reported at least twice.
364	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
365	    the section mismatches that are reported.

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

1130	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
1131	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
1132	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
1133	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1661	help
1662	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1663	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1664	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1665	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1666	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1667
1668	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1669	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1670	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1671
1672	  Usage:
1673
1674	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1675	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1676
1677	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1678	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1679	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1680	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1681
1682	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1683	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
