	  The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported

config PRINTK_CALLER

	help
	  Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
	  in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
	  to every message.

	  This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
	  concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
	  interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
	  line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.

	  Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
	  no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
	  sysfs interface.

	  This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
	  by inserting a short delay after each one.  The delay is
	  specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
	  using "boot_delay=N".

	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
	  the "loops per jiffie" value.
	  See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
	  system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
	  NOTE:  Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
	  I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
	  BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect

config DYNAMIC_DEBUG
	bool "Enable dynamic printk() support"
	default n
	depends on PRINTK
	depends on DEBUG_FS
	help

	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
	  implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
	  enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.

	  If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
	  pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
	  disabled at runtime as below.  Note that DEBUG flag is
	  turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.

	  Usage:

	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
	  format for each line of the file is:

		filename:lineno [module]function flags format

	  filename : source file of the debug statement
	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
	  module : module that contains the debug statement
	  function : function that contains the debug statement
          flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
          format : the format used for the debug statement

	  From a live system:

		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"

	  Example usage:

		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

		// disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control

config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH

	  The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal

341 342
	  During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
	  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.
347 348 349 350 351 352
	  The section mismatch analysis is always performed after a full
	  kernel build, and enabling this option causes the following
	  additional steps to occur:
	  - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
	    When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
	    function, we would lose the section information and thus
353
	    the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
354 355
	    This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
	    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
361 362 363 364 365
	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
	    reported at least twice.
	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
	    the section mismatches that are reported.

	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking

	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
	 deadlock.

	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.

	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).

	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
	 kernel reports nothing.

	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
	depends on PCI && X86
	help
	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.

	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.

	  Usage:

	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.

	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.

	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

	  See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

	  Alternatively, individual tests may be invoked:

	  If this option is disabled, you allow userspace (root) access to all

	  access to this is obviously disastrous, but specific access can

	  enabled, even in this case there are restrictions on /dev/mem
	  use due to the cache aliasing requirements.

	  If this option is switched on, and IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=n, the /dev/mem
