  config PRINTK_TIME

  	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 CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

  	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 MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

  	int "Default message log level (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
  	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. Thus, the debugfs
  	  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' >

  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 steps 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).
  	  - Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o file.
  	    When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o, we

  	    lose valuable information about where the mismatch was

  	    introduced.
  	    Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file

  	    tells where the mismatch happens much closer to the
  	    source. The drawback is that the same mismatch is
  	    reported at least twice.
  	  - Enable verbose reporting from modpost in order to help resolve
  	    the section mismatches that are reported.

  config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
  	bool "Remote debugging over FireWire early on boot"
  	depends on PCI && X86
  	help
  	  If you want to debug problems which hang or crash the kernel early
  	  on boot and the crashing machine has a FireWire port, you can use
  	  this feature to remotely access the memory of the crashed machine
  	  over FireWire. This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394
  	  specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers.
  
  	  With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using
  	  firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb.
  	  Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA.
  
  	  Usage:
  
  	  If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize
  	  all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space.
  
  	  As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling
  	  devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all
  	  devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on
  	  the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging.
  
  	  This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack
  	  in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead.
  
  	  See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information.

  	  With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
  	  drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
  	  were never allocated.
  
  	  This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
  	  accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption.  For
  	  example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is
  	  not undergoing DMA.
  
  	  This option causes a performance degradation.  Use only if you want to
  	  debug device drivers and dma interactions.
