6config PRINTK_TIME
7	bool "Show timing information on printks"
8	depends on PRINTK
9	help
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.
13
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.
17
18	  The behavior is also controlled by the kernel command line
19	  parameter printk.time=1. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
20
21config PRINTK_CALLER
22	bool "Show caller information on printks"
23	depends on PRINTK
24	help
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)
27	  to every message.
28
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.
33
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
36	  sysfs interface.
37
38config STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID

40	depends on PRINTK
41	help
42	  Selecting this option adds build ID information for symbols in
43	  stacktraces printed with the printk format '%p[SR]b'.
44

46	  accessible but can be downloaded given the build ID of the vmlinux or
47	  kernel module where the function is located.

55
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.
59
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
62	  option.

69	  loglevel to use when "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline.
70
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>"
74

81
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
84	  priority.
85
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.
89
90config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
91	bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"
92	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && PRINTK && GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY
93	help
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,
97	  using "boot_delay=N".
98
99	  It is likely that you would also need to use "lpj=M" to preset
100	  the "loops per jiffie" 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.

115
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%.
122
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.
127
128	  Usage:
129
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:
137
138		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
139
140	  filename : source file of the debug statement
141	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
142	  module : module that contains the debug statement
143	  function : function that contains the debug statement
144	  flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
145	  format : the format used for the debug statement
146
147	  From a live system:
148
149		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
150		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
151		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"

153		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012"
154
155	  Example usage:
156
157		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
158		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >

1631	  Some parts of the kernel contain bugs relating to their use of
1632	  cryptographically secure random numbers before it's actually possible
1633	  to generate those numbers securely. This setting ensures that these
1634	  flaws don't go unnoticed, by enabling a message, should this ever
1635	  occur. This will allow people with obscure setups to know when things
1636	  are going wrong, so that they might contact developers about fixing
1637	  it.
1638
1639	  Unfortunately, on some models of some architectures getting
1640	  a fully seeded CRNG is extremely difficult, and so this can
1641	  result in dmesg getting spammed for a surprisingly long
1642	  time.  This is really bad from a security perspective, and
1643	  so architecture maintainers really need to do what they can
1644	  to get the CRNG seeded sooner after the system is booted.

1673	  the memory backing the kobject can be immediately freed.  This
1674	  goes completely against the principles of a refcounted object.
1675
1676	  If you say Y here, the kernel will delay the release of kobjects

1822
1823	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1824	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1825	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1826	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1827
1828	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1829	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
