menu "Kernel hacking"
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/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
config PRINTK_CALLER
bool "Show caller information on printks"
depends on PRINTK
help
Selecting this option causes printk() to add a caller "thread id" (if
in task context) or a caller "processor id" (if not in task context)
to every message.
This option is intended for environments where multiple threads
concurrently call printk() for many times, for it is difficult to
interpret without knowing where these lines (or sometimes individual
line which was divided into multiple lines due to race) came from.
Since toggling after boot makes the code racy, currently there is
no option to enable/disable at the kernel command line parameter or
sysfs interface.
config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
int "Default console loglevel (1-15)"
range 1 15
default "7"
help
Default loglevel to determine what will be printed on the console.
Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in
the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever
value is specified here as well.
Note: This does not affect the log level of un-prefixed printk()
usage in the kernel. That is controlled by the MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT
option.
config CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET
int "quiet console loglevel (1-15)"
range 1 15
default "4"
help
loglevel to use when "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline.
When "quiet" is passed on the kernel commandline this loglevel
will be used as the loglevel. IOW passing "quiet" will be the
equivalent of passing "loglevel=<CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_QUIET>"
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.
Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console
by default. To change that, use loglevel=<x> in the kernel bootargs,
or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
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 || PROC_FS)
select DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
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 or procfs.
Thus, the debugfs or procfs 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
See Documentation/admin-guide/dynamic-debug-howto.rst for additional
information.
config DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
bool "Enable core function of dynamic debug support"
depends on PRINTK
depends on (DEBUG_FS || PROC_FS)
help
Enable core functional support of dynamic debug. It is useful
when you want to tie dynamic debug to your kernel modules with
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for each of them, especially for
the case of embedded system where the kernel image size is
sensitive for people.
config SYMBOLIC_ERRNAME
bool "Support symbolic error names in printf"
default y if PRINTK
help
If you say Y here, the kernel's printf implementation will
be able to print symbolic error names such as ENOSPC instead
of the number 28. It makes the kernel image slightly larger
(about 3KB), but can make the kernel logs easier to read.
config DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE
bool "Verbose BUG() reporting (adds 70K)" if DEBUG_KERNEL && EXPERT
depends on BUG && (GENERIC_BUG || HAVE_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE)
default y
help
Say Y here to make BUG() panics output the file name and line number
of the BUG call as well as the EIP and oops trace. This aids
debugging but costs about 70-100K of memory.
endmenu # "printk and dmesg options"
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.

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.

help
Compress the debug information using zlib. Requires GCC 5.0+ or Clang
5.0+, binutils 2.26+, and zlib.
Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in
size of their debug .deb packages with this config set, due to the
debug info being compressed with zlib, then the object files being
recompressed with a different compression scheme. But this is still
preferable to setting $KDEB_COMPRESS to "none" which would be even
larger.
config DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT
bool "Produce split debuginfo in .dwo files"
depends on DEBUG_INFO
depends on $(cc-option,-gsplit-dwarf)
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"

sane.
config HEADERS_INSTALL

depends on !UML
help
This option will install uapi headers (headers exported to user-space)
into the usr/include directory for use during the kernel build.
This is unneeded for building the kernel itself, but needed for some
user-space program samples. It is also needed by some features such
as uapi header sanity checks.
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 step 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).
config SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY

If you say Y here, you will have some control over the system even
if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
