This is accomplished 63 by pressing various keys while holding SysRq (Alt+PrintScreen). It 64 also works on a serial console (on PC hardware at least), if you 65 send a BREAK and then within 5 seconds a command keypress. The 66 keys are documented in <file:Documentation/sysrq.txt>.

If you 94 encounter such a case in your module, consider if you are actually 95 using the right API.

This employs remote DMA as part of the OHCI1394 1276 specification which is now the standard for FireWire controllers. 1277 1278 With remote DMA, you can monitor the printk buffer remotely using 1279 firescope and access all memory below 4GB using fireproxy from gdb. 1280 Even controlling a kernel debugger is possible using remote DMA. 1281 1282 Usage: 1283 1284 If ohci1394_dma=early is used as boot parameter, it will initialize 1285 all OHCI1394 controllers which are found in the PCI config space. 1286 1287 As all changes to the FireWire bus such as enabling and disabling 1288 devices cause a bus reset and thereby disable remote DMA for all 1289 devices, be sure to have the cable plugged and FireWire enabled on 1290 the debugging host before booting the debug target for debugging. 1291 1292 This code (~1k) is freed after boot. By then, the firewire stack 1293 in charge of the OHCI-1394 controllers should be used instead. 1294 1295 See Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt for more information. 1296 1297config FIREWIRE_OHCI_REMOTE_DMA 1298 bool "Remote debugging over FireWire with firewire-ohci" 1299 depends on FIREWIRE_OHCI 1300 help 1301 This option lets you use the FireWire bus for remote debugging 1302 with help of the firewire-ohci driver.

These messages can then be 1326 enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file, 1327 function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism 1328 implicitly compiles in all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls, which 1329 enlarges the kernel text size by about 2%. 1330 1331 If a source file is compiled with DEBUG flag set, any 1332 pr_debug() calls in it are enabled by default, but can be 1333 disabled at runtime as below. Note that DEBUG flag is 1334 turned on by many CONFIG_*DEBUG* options. 1335 1336 Usage: 1337 1338 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/control' file, 1339 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs 1340 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature. 1341 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control. This 1342 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The 1343 format for each line of the file is: 1344 1345 filename:lineno [module]function flags format 1346 1347 filename : source file of the debug statement 1348 lineno : line number of the debug statement 1349 module : module that contains the debug statement 1350 function : function that contains the debug statement 1351 flags : '=p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing 1352 format : the format used for the debug statement 1353 1354 From a live system: 1355 1356 nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1357 # filename:lineno [module]function flags format 1358 fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx =_ "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012" 1359 fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc =_ "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012" 1360 fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel =_ "calling\040cancel\012" 1361 1362 Example usage: 1363 1364 // enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c 1365 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' > 1366 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1367 1368 // enable all the messages in file svcsock.c 1369 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' > 1370 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1371 1372 // enable all the messages in the NFS server module 1373 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' > 1374 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1375 1376 // enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process() 1377 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' > 1378 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1379 1380 // disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process() 1381 nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' > 1382 <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control 1383 1384 See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt for additional information. 1385 1386config DMA_API_DEBUG 1387 bool "Enable debugging of DMA-API usage" 1388 depends on HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG 1389 help 1390 Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers. 1391 With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device 1392 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that 1393 were never allocated. 1394 This option causes a performance degredation.
