[merged] kernel-hacking-menu-runtime-testing-keep-tests-together.patch removed from -mm tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The patch titled
     Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kernel-hacking-menu-runtime-testing-keep-tests-together.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/Kconfig.debug: kernel hacking menu: runtime testing: keep tests together

Expand the "Runtime testing" menu by including more entries inside it
instead of after it.  This is just Kconfig symbol movement.

This causes the (arch-independent) Runtime tests to be presented (listed)
all in one place instead of in multiple places.

+	bool "Remote debugging 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.

+
+	  This also attempts to catch cases where a page owned by DMA is
+	  accessed by the cpu in a way that could cause data corruption.  For
+	  example, this enables cow_user_page() to check that the source page is

+
