+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 STACKTRACE_BUILD_ID
+ bool "Show build ID information in stacktraces"
+ depends on PRINTK
+ help
+ Selecting this option adds build ID information for symbols in

+
+ This option is intended for distros where debuginfo is not easily
+ accessible but can be downloaded given the build ID of the vmlinux or
+ kernel module where the function is located.

+
+ Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in

+ 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.

+

+ 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.

+ 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()

+
+config SYMBOLIC_ERRNAME

+ If you say Y here, the kernel's printf implementation will

+
+ Changes to the structure of debug info in Version 5 allow for around

+
+ Users of dpkg-deb via scripts/package/builddeb may find an increase in

+ In addition the debug information is also compressed.
+
+ Requires recent gcc (4.7+) and recent gdb/binutils.

+ 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.
