menu "printk and dmesg options"
config PRINTK_TIME
bool "Show timing information on printks"
depends on PRINTK
help
Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
call and at the console.
The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
int "Default message log level (1-7)"
range 1 7
default "4"
help
Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
priority.
config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
help
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
what it believes to be lockup conditions.
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

menu "Compile-time checks and compiler options"
config DEBUG_INFO
bool "Compile the kernel with debug info"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && !COMPILE_TEST
help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will include
debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.
Say Y here only if you plan to debug the kernel.
If unsure, say N.
config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
bool "Reduce debugging information"
depends on DEBUG_INFO
help
If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
information for structure types. This means that tools that
need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
Only works with newer gcc versions.
config DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
depends on DEBUG_INFO
help
Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
In addition the debug information is also compressed.
Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.
Any tool that packages or reads debug information would need
to know about the .dwo files and include them.
Incompatible with older versions of ccache.
config DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4
bool "Generate dwarf4 debuginfo"
depends on DEBUG_INFO
help
Generate dwarf4 debug info. This requires recent versions
of gcc and gdb. It makes the debug information larger.
But it significantly improves the success of resolving
variables in gdb on optimized code.
config GDB_SCRIPTS
bool "Provide GDB scripts for kernel debugging"
depends on DEBUG_INFO
help
This creates the required links to GDB helper scripts in the
build directory. If you load vmlinux into gdb, the helper
scripts will be automatically imported by gdb as well, and
additional functions are available to analyze a Linux kernel
instance. See Documentation/gdb-kernel-debugging.txt for further
details.
config ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED
bool "Enable __deprecated logic"
default y
help
Enable the __deprecated logic in the kernel build.
Disable this to suppress the "warning: 'foo' is deprecated
(declared at kernel/power/somefile.c:1234)" messages.
config ENABLE_MUST_CHECK
bool "Enable __must_check logic"
default y
help
Enable the __must_check logic in the kernel build. Disable this to
suppress the "warning: ignoring return value of 'foo', declared with
attribute warn_unused_result" messages.
config FRAME_WARN
int "Warn for stack frames larger than (needs gcc 4.4)"
range 0 8192
default 0 if KASAN
default 2048 if GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY
default 1024 if !64BIT
default 2048 if 64BIT
help
Tell gcc to warn at build time for stack frames larger than this.
Setting this too low will cause a lot of warnings.
Setting it to 0 disables the warning.
Requires gcc 4.4
config STRIP_ASM_SYMS
bool "Strip assembler-generated symbols during link"
default n
help
Strip internal assembler-generated symbols during a link (symbols
that look like '.Lxxx') so they don't pollute the output of
get_wchan() and suchlike.
config READABLE_ASM
bool "Generate readable assembler code"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
help
Disable some compiler optimizations that tend to generate human unreadable
assembler output. This may make the kernel slightly slower, but it helps
to keep kernel developers who have to stare a lot at assembler listings
sane.
config UNUSED_SYMBOLS
bool "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols"
default y if X86
help
Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For
that reason most of these unused exports will soon be removed. This
option is provided temporarily to provide a transition period in case
some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a
mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for
your module is.
config PAGE_OWNER
bool "Track page owner"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
select DEBUG_FS
select STACKTRACE
select STACKDEPOT
select PAGE_EXTENSION
help
This keeps track of what call chain is the owner of a page, may
help to find bare alloc_page(s) leaks. Even if you include this
feature on your build, it is disabled in default. You should pass
"page_owner=on" to boot parameter in order to enable it. Eats
a fair amount of memory if enabled. See tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c
for user-space helper.
If unsure, say N.
config PAGE_OWNER_ENABLE_DEFAULT
bool "Enable Track page owner by default"
depends on PAGE_OWNER
---help---
This keeps track of what call chain is the owner of a page, may
help to find bare alloc_page(s) leaks. If you include this
feature on your build, it is enabled by default. You should pass
"page_owner=off" to boot parameter in order to disable it. Eats
a fair amount of memory if enabled. See tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c
for user-space helper.
config DEBUG_FS
bool "Debug Filesystem"
select SRCU
help
debugfs is a virtual file system that kernel developers use to put
debugging files into. Enable this option to be able to read and
write to these files.
For detailed documentation on the debugfs API, see
Documentation/DocBook/filesystems.
If unsure, say N.
config HEADERS_CHECK
bool "Run 'make headers_check' when building vmlinux"
depends on !UML
help
This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
were not exported, etc.
If you're making modifications to header files which are
relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
help
The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
references from one section to another section.
During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
any use of code/data previously in these sections would
most likely result in an oops.
In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
__init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
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
the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
This option tells gcc to inline less (but it does result in
a larger kernel).
- Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
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.o file
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.
config SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY
bool "Make section mismatch errors non-fatal"
default y
help
If you say N here, the build process will fail if there are any
section mismatch, instead of just throwing warnings.
If unsure, say Y.

help
If you say Y here the resulting kernel image will be slightly
larger and slower, but it gives very useful debugging information
in case of kernel bugs. (precise oopses/stacktraces/warnings)
config STACK_VALIDATION
bool "Compile-time stack metadata validation"
depends on HAVE_STACK_VALIDATION
default n
help
Add compile-time checks to validate stack metadata, including frame
pointers (if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is enabled). This helps ensure
that runtime stack traces are more reliable.

s390 and alpha require percpu variables in modules to be
defined weak to work around addressing range issue which
puts the following two restrictions on percpu variable
definitions.
1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not
2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function
To ensure that generic code follows the above rules, this
option forces all percpu variables to be defined as weak.

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.

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.
