|  |  | 
|  | 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: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' > |

|  | nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' > | 
|  | <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control | 
|  |  |

|  | 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 | 
|  | the analysis would not catch the illegal reference. | 
|  | This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in | 
|  | a larger kernel). |

|  | When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we | 
|  | lose valuable information about where the mismatch was | 
|  | introduced. | 
|  | Running the analysis for each module/built-in.a file | 
|  | tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the | 
|  | source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is |

|  | This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking | 
|  | that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically | 
|  | 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. |

|  | 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. |
