44 if the system crashes for example during kernel debugging (e.g., you
45 will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system
46 immediately or dump some status information). This is accomplished
47 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It
48 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you
49 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The
50 keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>. Don't say Y

68 some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you
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
73 mail to the linux kernel mailing list mentioning the symbol and why
74 you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

111 The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
112 references from one section to another section.
113 Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
114 and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
115 most likely result in an oops.
116 In the code functions and variables are annotated with
117 __init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
d6fbfa4f
GU
118 which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
119 The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
120 kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
91341d4b
SR
121 do the following:
122 - Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
123 When inlining a function annotated __init in a non-init
d6fbfa4f 124 function we would lose the section information and thus
91341d4b 125 the analysis would not catch the illegal reference.
d6fbfa4f 126 This option tells gcc to inline less but will also
91341d4b
SR
127 result in a larger kernel.
128 - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
129 When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
d6fbfa4f 130 lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
91341d4b
SR
131 introduced.
132 Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
133 will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the

492 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an

496 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
497 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
498
499 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
500 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
501 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
502 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
503 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
504 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
505 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
506 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
507 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
508
509 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
510 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
511 kernel reports nothing.
512
513 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
514 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
515 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
516 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
517 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

BK
1065 depends on PCI && X86
1066 help
1067 If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
1068 on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
1069 this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
1070 over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
1071 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
1072
1073 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
1074 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
1075 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
1076
1077 Usage:
1078
1079 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
1080 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
1081
1082 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
1083 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
1084 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
1085 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
1086
1087 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
1088 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
