  	help
  	 This feature enables the kernel to prove that all locking
  	 that occurs in the kernel runtime is mathematically
  	 correct: that under no circumstance could an arbitrary (and
  	 not yet triggered) combination of observed locking
  	 sequences (on an arbitrary number of CPUs, running an
  	 arbitrary number of tasks and interrupt contexts) cause a
  	 deadlock.
  
  	 In short, this feature enables the kernel to report locking
  	 related deadlocks before they actually occur.
  
  	 The proof does not depend on how hard and complex a
  	 deadlock scenario would be to trigger: how many
  	 participant CPUs, tasks and irq-contexts would be needed
  	 for it to trigger. The proof also does not depend on
  	 timing: if a race and a resulting deadlock is possible
  	 theoretically (no matter how unlikely the race scenario
  	 is), it will be proven so and will immediately be
  	 reported by the kernel (once the event is observed that
  	 makes the deadlock theoretically possible).
  
  	 If a deadlock is impossible (i.e. the locking rules, as
  	 observed by the kernel, are mathematically correct), the
  	 kernel reports nothing.
  
  	 NOTE: this feature can also be enabled for rwlocks, mutexes
  	 and rwsems - in which case all dependencies between these
  	 different locking variants are observed and mapped too, and
  	 the proof of observed correctness is also maintained for an
  	 arbitrary combination of these separate locking variants.

  	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.
