8 the interval between kernel operations, including bootup
9 operations. This is useful for identifying long delays

69 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually
70 using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using
71 this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the
72 wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

74 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

112 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
113 references from one section to another section.
114 Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
115 and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
116 most likely result in an oops.
117 In the code functions and variables are annotated with
118 __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100119 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
120 The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
121 kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100122 do the following:
123 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
124 When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100125 function we would lose the section information and thus
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100126 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
Geert Uytterhoevend6fbfa42008-01-30 11:13:23 +0100127 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100128 result in a larger kernel.

Sam Ravnborg91341d42008-01-21 21:31:44 +0100132 introduced.
133 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
134 will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
135 source. The drawback is that we will report the same
136 mismatch at least twice.

481 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
482 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
483 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
484 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
485 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
486 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
487 deadlock.
488
489 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
490 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
491
492 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
493 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
494 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
495 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
496 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
497 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
498 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
499 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
500 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
501
502 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
503 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
504 kernel reports nothing.
505
506 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
507 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
508 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
509 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
510 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

1016 help
1017 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1018 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1019 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1020 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1021 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1022
1023 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1024 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1025 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1026
1027 Usage:
1028
1029 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1030 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1031
1032 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1033 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1034 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1035 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1036
1037 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1038 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.

Joerg Roedel5ee00bd2009-01-09 12:14:24 +01001126config DMA_API_DEBUG
1127 bool "Enable debugging of DMA-API usage"
1128 depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
1129 help
1130 Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
1131 With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
1132 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
1133 were never allocated.
1134 This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want
1135 to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
