7 bool "Show timing information on printks"
10 Selecting this option causes time stamps of the printk()
11 messages to be added to the output of the syslog() system
12 call and at the console.
14 The timestamp is always recorded internally, and exported
15 to /dev/kmsg. This flag just specifies if the timestamp should
16 be included, not that the timestamp is recorded.
18 The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
19 parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
22 bool "Show caller information on printks"
25 Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
26 in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
29 This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
30 concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
31 interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
32 line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
34 Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
35 no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
38 config STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID
39 bool "Show build ID information in stacktraces"
42 Selecting this option adds build ID information for symbols in
43 stacktraces printed with the printk format '%p[SR]b'.
45 This option is intended for distros where debuginfo is not easily
46 accessible but can be downloaded given the build ID of the vmlinux or
47 kernel module where the function is located.
49 config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
50 int "Default console loglevel (1-15)"
54 Default loglevel to determine what will be printed on the console.
56 Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in
57 the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever
58 value is specified here as well.
60 Note: This does not affect the log level of un-prefixed printk()
61 usage in the kernel. That is controlled by the MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
64 config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET
65 int "quiet console loglevel (1-15)"
69 loglevel to use when "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline.
71 When "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline this loglevel
72 will be used as the loglevel. IOW passing "quiet" will be the
73 equivalent of passing "loglevel=<CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET>"
75 config MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
76 int "Default message log level (1-7)"
80 Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.
82 This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks
83 that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower
86 Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
87 by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,
88 or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
90 config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
91 bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
92 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
94 This build option allows you to read kernel boot messages
95 by inserting a short delay after each one. The delay is
96 specified in milliseconds on the kernel command line,
99 It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100 the "loops per jiffy" value.
101 See a previous boot log for the "lpj" value to use for your
102 system, and then set "lpj=M" before setting "boot_delay=N".
103 NOTE: Using this option may adversely affect SMP systems.
104 I.e., processors other than the first one may not boot up.
105 BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY also may cause LOCKUP_DETECTOR to detect
106 what it believes to be lockup conditions.

113 select DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
116 Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
117 otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
118 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
119 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
120 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which
121 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%.
123 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any
124 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be
125 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is
126 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options.
130 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file,
131 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem or procfs.
132 Thus, the debugfs or procfs filesystem must first be mounted before
133 making use of this feature.
134 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This
135 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
136 format for each line of the file is:
138 filename:lineno [module]function flags format

141 lineno : line number of the debug statement
142 module : module that contains the debug statement

185 Enable core functional support of dynamic debug. It is useful
186 when you want to tie dynamic debug to your kernel modules with
187 DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for each of them, especially for
188 the case of embedded system where the kernel image size is
189 sensitive for people.

192 bool "Support symbolic error names in printf"
195 If you say Y here, the kernel's printf implementation will
196 be able to print symbolic error names such as ENOSPC instead
197 of the number 28. It makes the kernel image slightly larger
198 (about 3KB), but can make the kernel logs easier to read.

244 Selecting something other than "None" results in a kernel image
245 that will include debugging info resulting in a larger kernel image.
246 This adds debug symbols to the kernel and modules (gcc -g), and
247 is needed if you intend to use kernel crashdump or binary object
248 tools like crash, kgdb, LKCD, gdb, etc on the kernel.

264 The implicit default version of DWARF debug info produced by a
265 toolchain changes over time.
267 This can break consumers of the debug info that haven't upgraded to
268 support newer revisions, and prevent testing newer versions, but
269 those should be less common scenarios.

276 Generate DWARF v4 debug info. This requires gcc 4.5+, binutils 2.35.2
277 if using clang without clang's integrated assembler, and gdb 7.0+.

290 5.0+ accepts the -gdwarf-5 flag but only had partial support for some
291 draft features until 7.0), and gdb 8.0+.
293 Changes to the structure of debug info in Version 5 allow for around
294 15-18% savings in resulting image and debug info section sizes as
295 compared to DWARF Version 4. DWARF Version 5 standardizes previous
296 extensions such as accelerators for symbol indexing and the format
297 for fission (.dwo/.dwp) files. Users may not want to select this
298 config if they rely on tooling that has not yet been updated to

305 config DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED
306 bool "Reduce debugging information"
308 If you say Y here gcc is instructed to generate less debugging
309 information for structure types. This means that tools that
310 need full debugging information (like kgdb or systemtap) won't
311 be happy. But if you merely need debugging information to
312 resolve line numbers there is no loss. Advantage is that
313 build directory object sizes shrink dramatically over a full
314 DEBUG_INFO build and compile times are reduced too.
315 Only works with newer gcc versions.

338 Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in
339 size of their debug .deb packages with this config set, due to the
340 debug info being compressed with zlib, then the object files being

366 Generate debug info into separate .dwo files. This significantly
367 reduces the build directory size for builds with DEBUG_INFO,
368 because it stores the information only once on disk in .dwo
369 files instead of multiple times in object files and executables.
370 In addition the debug information is also compressed.
372 Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.

484 config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
485 bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
488 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
489 references from one section to another section.
490 During linktime or runtime, some sections are dropped;
491 any use of code/data previously in these sections would
492 most likely result in an oops.
493 In the code, functions and variables are annotated with
494 __init,, etc. (see the full list in include/linux/init.h),
495 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.

498 additional step to occur:
499 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc commands.
500 When inlining a function annotated with __init in a non-init
501 function, we would lose the section information and thus

1387 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
1389 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
1390 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
1391 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
1392 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
1393 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
1394 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
1395 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
1396 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
1397 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
1399 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
1400 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
1401 kernel reports nothing.

1880 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1881 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1882 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1886 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1887 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1889 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1890 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1891 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1892 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.

2214 by 1757 (the number of Dhrystones per second obtained on the VAX
2215 11/780, nominally a 1 MIPS machine).
2217 To run the benchmark, it needs to be enabled explicitly, either from
2218 the kernel command line (when built-in), or from userspace (when
2219 built-in or modular).
2221 Run once during kernel boot:
2225 Set number of iterations from kernel command line:

2229 Set number of iterations from userspace:
2231 echo <n> > /sys/module/test_dhry/parameters/iterations
2233 Trigger manual run from userspace:
2235 echo y > /sys/module/test_dhry/parameters/run
2237 If the number of iterations is <= 0, the test will devise a suitable
2238 number of iterations (test runs for at least 2s) automatically.

3029 config RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS
3030 bool "Debug assertions"
3033 Enables rustc's `-Cdebug-assertions` codegen option.
3035 This flag lets you turn `cfg(debug_assertions)` conditional
3036 compilation on or off. This can be used to enable extra debugging
3037 code in development but not in production. For example, it controls
3038 the behavior of the standard library's `debug_assert!` macro.
3040 Note that this will apply to all Rust code, including `core`.
3044 config RUST_OVERFLOW_CHECKS
3045 bool "Overflow checks"
3049 Enables rustc's `-Coverflow-checks` codegen option.
3051 This flag allows you to control the behavior of runtime integer
3052 overflow. When overflow-checks are enabled, a Rust panic will occur
3055 Note that this will apply to all Rust code, including `core`.
3059 config RUST_BUILD_ASSERT_ALLOW
3060 bool "Allow unoptimized build-time assertions"
3063 Controls how are `build_error!` and `build_assert!` handled during build.
3065 If calls to them exist in the binary, it may indicate a violated invariant
3066 or that the optimizer failed to verify the invariant during compilation.
3068 This should not happen, thus by default the build is aborted. However,
3069 as an escape hatch, you can choose Y here to ignore them during build
3070 and let the check be carried at runtime (with `panic!` being called if

3097 This option enables the KUnit test suite for the int_pow function,
3098 which performs integer exponentiation. The test suite is designed to
3099 verify that the implementation of int_pow correctly computes the power
3100 of a given base raised to a given exponent.
3102 Enabling this option will include tests that check various scenarios
3103 and edge cases to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the exponentiation
