- 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

- 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.

- that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower

- Note: This does not affect what message level gets printed on the console

- or pick a different CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT configuration value.
- config BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY
- bool "Delay each boot printk message by N milliseconds"

- 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' >

- // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()

- Enables rustc's `-Cdebug-assertions` codegen option.
- This flag lets you turn `cfg(debug_assertions)` conditional
- compilation on or off. This can be used to enable extra debugging
- code in development but not in production. For example, it controls
- the behavior of the standard library's `debug_assert!` macro.
- Note that this will apply to all Rust code, including `core`.
- If unsure, say N.
- config RUST_OVERFLOW_CHECKS
- bool "Overflow checks"
- default y
- depends on RUST
- help
- Enables rustc's `-Coverflow-checks` codegen option.
- This flag allows you to control the behavior of runtime integer
- overflow. When overflow-checks are enabled, a Rust panic will occur
- on overflow.
- Note that this will apply to all Rust code, including `core`.
- If unsure, say Y.
