|  | 547 | deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many | 
|  | 548 | participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed | 
|  | 549 | for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on | 
|  | 550 | timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible | 
|  | 551 | theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario | 
|  | 552 | is), it will be proven so and will immediately be | 
|  | 553 | reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that | 
|  | 554 | makes the deadlock theoretically possible). | 
|  | 555 |  | 
|  | 556 | If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as | 
|  | 557 | observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the | 
|  | 558 | kernel reports nothing. | 
|  | 559 |  | 
|  | 560 | NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes | 
|  | 561 | and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these | 
|  | 562 | different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and | 
|  | 563 | the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an | 
|  | 564 | arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants. |

|  | 1130 | help | 
|  | 1131 | If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early | 
|  | 1132 | on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use | 
|  | 1133 | this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine | 
|  | 1134 | over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394 | 
|  | 1135 | specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers. | 
|  | 1136 |  | 
|  | 1137 | With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using | 
|  | 1138 | firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb. | 
|  | 1139 | Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA. | 
|  | 1140 |  | 
|  | 1141 | Usage: | 
|  | 1142 |  | 
|  | 1143 | If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize | 
|  | 1144 | all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space. | 
|  | 1145 |  | 
|  | 1146 | As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling | 
|  | 1147 | devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all | 
|  | 1148 | devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on | 
|  | 1149 | the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. | 
|  | 1150 |  | 
|  | 1151 | This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack | 
|  | 1152 | in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead. |
