will be able to flush the buffer cache to disk, reboot the system

by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It

Unused but exported symbols make the kernel needlessly bigger. For

some external kernel module needs one of these symbols anyway. If you

using the right API. (rationale: since nobody in the kernel is using

this in a module, there is a pretty good chance it's actually the

wrong interface to use). If you really need the symbol, please send a

you really need it, and what the merge plan to the mainline kernel for

your module is.

config DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH

bool "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
|

depends on UNDEFINED
|
|
help
|
|
The section mismatch analysis checks if there are illegal
|
|
references from one section to another section.
|
|
Linux will during link or during runtime drop some sections
|
|
and any use of code/data previously in these sections will
|
|
most likely result in an oops.
|
|
In the code functions and variables are annotated with
|
|
__init, __devinit etc. (see full list in include/linux/init.h)
|
|
which results in the code/data being placed in specific sections.
|
|
The section mismatch analysis is always done after a full
|
|
kernel build but enabling this option will in addition
|
|
do the following:
|
|
- Add the option -fno-inline-functions-called-once to gcc
|
|
When inlining a function annotated __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 will also
|
|
result in a larger kernel.
|
|
- Run the section mismatch analysis for each module/built-in.o
|
|
When we run the section mismatch analysis on vmlinux.o we
|
|
lose valueble information about where the mismatch was
|
|
introduced.
|
|
Running the analysis for each module/built-in.o file
|
|
will tell where the mismatch happens much closer to the
|
|
source. The drawback is that we will report the same
|
|
mismatch at least twice.
|
|
- Enable verbose reporting from modpost to help solving
|
|
the section mismatches reported.

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.

|
the kernel stack backtrace code. This option is not useful
|
|
for distributions or general kernels, but only for kernel
|
|
developers working on architecture code.

config PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT
|

bool "Provide code for enabling DMA 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.
