Certain boards seem to like to issue false overcurrent notifications, for example on ports that don't have anything connected to them. This looks like a hardware error, at the level of noise to those ports' overcurrent input signals (or non-debounced VBUS comparators). This surfaces to users as truly massive amounts of syslog spam from khubd (which is appropriate for real hardware problems, except for the volume from multiple ports). Using this new "ignore_oc" flag helps such systems work more sanely, by preventing such indications from getting to khubd (and spamming syslog). The downside is of course that true overcurrent errors will be masked; they'll appear as spontaneous disconnects, without the diagnostics that will let users troubleshoot issues like short-circuited cables. In addition, controllers with no devices attached will be forced to poll for new devices rather than relying on interrupts, since each overcurrent event would generate a new interrupt. This patch (as826) is essentially a copy of David Brownell's ignore_oc patch for ehci-hcd, ported to uhci-hcd.

Kernel Parameters
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as implemented
|
|
(mostly) by the __setup() macro and sorted into English Dictionary order
|
|
(defined as ignoring all punctuation and sorting digits before letters in a
|
|
case insensitive manner), and with descriptions where known.
|
|
|
|
Module parameters for loadable modules are specified only as the
|
|
parameter name with optional '=' and value as appropriate, such as:
|
|
|
|
modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
|
|
|
|
Module parameters for modules that are built into the kernel image
|
|
are specified on the kernel command line with the module name plus
|
|
'.' plus parameter name, with '=' and value if appropriate, such as:
|
|
|
|
usbcore.blinkenlights=1
|
|
|
|
This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
|
|
"modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
|
|
module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
|
|
reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
|
|
parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
|
|
"echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}".
|
|
|
|
The parameters listed below are only valid if certain kernel build options were
|
|
enabled and if respective hardware is present. The text in square brackets at
|
|
the beginning of each description states the restrictions within which a
|
|

Documentation/x86_64/boot-options.txt .
|
|
|
|
In addition, the following text indicates that the option:
|
|
|
|
BUGS= Relates to possible processor bugs on the said processor.
|
|
KNL Is a kernel start-up parameter.
|
|
BOOT Is a boot loader parameter.
|
|
|
|
Parameters denoted with BOOT are actually interpreted by the boot
|
|
loader, and have no meaning to the kernel directly.
|
|
Do not modify the syntax of boot loader parameters without extreme
|
|
need or coordination with <Documentation/i386/boot.txt>.
|
|
|
|
Note that ALL kernel parameters listed below are CASE SENSITIVE, and that
|
|
a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
|
|
be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
|
|
it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
|
|
running once the system is up.
|
|
|
|
The number of kernel parameters is not limited, but the length of the
|
|
complete command line (parameters including spaces etc.) is limited to
|
|
a fixed number of characters. This limit depends on the architecture
|
|
and is between 256 and 4096 characters. It is defined in the file
|
|
./include/asm/setup.h as COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.

|
"number of CPUs in system - 1".
|
|
|
|
This option is the preferred way to isolate CPUs. The
|
|
alternative -- manually setting the CPU mask of all
|
|
tasks in the system -- can cause problems and
|
|
suboptimal load balancer performance.

lp=0 [LP] Specify parallel ports to use, e.g,
|
|
lp=port[,port...] lp=none,parport0 (lp0 not configured, lp1 uses
|
|
lp=reset first parallel port). 'lp=0' disables the
|
|
lp=auto printer driver. 'lp=reset' (which can be
|
|
specified in addition to the ports) causes
|
|
attached printers to be reset. Using
|
|
lp=port1,port2,... specifies the parallel ports
|
|
to associate lp devices with, starting with
|
|
lp0. A port specification may be 'none' to skip
|
|
that lp device, or a parport name such as
|
|
'parport0'. Specifying 'lp=auto' instead of a
|
|
port specification list means that device IDs
|
|
from each port should be examined, to see if
|
|
an IEEE 1284-compliant printer is attached; if
|
|
so, the driver will manage that printer.
|
|
See also header of drivers/char/lp.c.
|
|
|
|
lpj=n [KNL]
|
|
Sets loops_per_jiffy to given constant, thus avoiding
|
|
time-consuming boot-time autodetection (up to 250 ms per
|
|
CPU). 0 enables autodetection (default). To determine
|
|
the correct value for your kernel, boot with normal
|
|
autodetection and see what value is printed. Note that
|
|
on SMP systems the preset will be applied to all CPUs,
|
|
which is likely to cause problems if your CPUs need
|
|
significantly divergent settings. An incorrect value
|
|
will cause delays in the kernel to be wrong, leading to
|
|
unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although
|
|
unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your
|
|
hardware.

[KNL,SMP] debug: override scheduler migration costs
|
|
Format: <level-1-usecs>,<level-2-usecs>,...
|
|
This debugging option can be used to override the
|
|
default scheduler migration cost matrix. The numbers
|
|
are indexed by 'CPU domain distance'.
|
|
E.g. migration_cost=1000,2000,3000 on an SMT NUMA
|
|
box will set up an intra-core migration cost of
|
|
1 msec, an inter-core migration cost of 2 msecs,
|
|
and an inter-node migration cost of 3 msecs.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: using the wrong values here can break
|
|
scheduler performance, so it's only for scheduler
|
|
development purposes, not production environments.
|
|
|
|
migration_debug=
|
|
[KNL,SMP] migration cost auto-detect verbosity
|
|
Format=<0|1|2>
|
|
If a system's migration matrix reported at bootup
|
|
seems erroneous then this option can be used to
|
|
increase verbosity of the detection process.
|
|
We default to 0 (no extra messages), 1 will print
|
|
some more information, and 2 will be really
|
|
verbose (probably only useful if you also have a
|
|
serial console attached to the system).
|
|
|
|
migration_factor=
|
|
[KNL,SMP] multiply/divide migration costs by a factor
|
|
Format=<percent>
|
|
This debug option can be used to proportionally
|
|
increase or decrease the auto-detected migration
|
|
costs for all entries of the migration matrix.
|
|
E.g. migration_factor=150 will increase migration
|
|
costs by 50%. (and thus the scheduler will be less
|
|
eager migrating cache-hot tasks)
|
|
migration_factor=80 will decrease migration costs
|
|
by 20%. (thus the scheduler will be more eager to
|
|
migrate tasks)

pci=option[,option...] [PCI] various PCI subsystem options:
|
|
off [IA-32] don't probe for the PCI bus
|
|
bios [IA-32] force use of PCI BIOS, don't access
|
|
the hardware directly. Use this if your machine
|
|
has a non-standard PCI host bridge.
|
|
nobios [IA-32] disallow use of PCI BIOS, only direct
|
|
hardware access methods are allowed. Use this
|
|
if you experience crashes upon bootup and you
|
|
suspect they are caused by the BIOS.
|
|
conf1 [IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration
|
|
Mechanism 1.
|
|
conf2 [IA-32] Force use of PCI Configuration
|
|
Mechanism 2.
|
|
nommconf [IA-32,X86_64] Disable use of MMCONFIG for PCI
|
|
Configuration
|
|
nomsi [MSI] If the PCI_MSI kernel config parameter is
|
|
enabled, this kernel boot option can be used to
|
|
disable the use of MSI interrupts system-wide.
|
|
nosort [IA-32] Don't sort PCI devices according to
|
|
order given by the PCI BIOS. This sorting is
|
|
done to get a device order compatible with
|
|
older kernels.
|
|
biosirq [IA-32] Use PCI BIOS calls to get the interrupt
|
|
routing table. These calls are known to be buggy
|
|
on several machines and they hang the machine
|
|
when used, but on other computers it's the only
|
|
way to get the interrupt routing table. Try
|
|
this option if the kernel is unable to allocate
|
|
IRQs or discover secondary PCI buses on your
|
|
motherboard.
|
|
rom [IA-32] Assign address space to expansion ROMs.
|
|
Use with caution as certain devices share
|
|
address decoders between ROMs and other
|
|
resources.
|
|
irqmask=0xMMMM [IA-32] Set a bit mask of IRQs allowed to be
|
|
assigned automatically to PCI devices. You can
|
|
make the kernel exclude IRQs of your ISA cards
|
|
this way.
|
|
pirqaddr=0xAAAAA [IA-32] Specify the physical address
|
|
of the PIRQ table (normally generated
|
|
by the BIOS) if it is outside the
|
|
F0000h-100000h range.
|
|
lastbus=N [IA-32] Scan all buses thru bus #N. Can be
|
|
useful if the kernel is unable to find your
|
|
secondary buses and you want to tell it
|
|
explicitly which ones they are.
|
|
assign-busses [IA-32] Always assign all PCI bus
|
|
numbers ourselves, overriding
|
|
whatever the firmware may have done.
|
|
usepirqmask [IA-32] Honor the possible IRQ mask stored
|
|
in the BIOS $PIR table. This is needed on
|
|
some systems with broken BIOSes, notably
|
|
some HP Pavilion N5400 and Omnibook XE3
|
|
notebooks. This will have no effect if ACPI
|
|
IRQ routing is enabled.
|
|
noacpi [IA-32] Do not use ACPI for IRQ routing
|
|
or for PCI scanning.
|
|
routeirq Do IRQ routing for all PCI devices.
|
|
This is normally done in pci_enable_device(),
|
|
so this option is a temporary workaround
|
|
for broken drivers that don't call it.
|
|
firmware [ARM] Do not re-enumerate the bus but instead
|
|
just use the configuration from the
|
|
bootloader. This is currently used on
|
|
IXP2000 systems where the bus has to be
|
|
configured a certain way for adjunct CPUs.
|
|
noearly [X86] Don't do any early type 1 scanning.
|
|
This might help on some broken boards which
|
|
machine check when some devices' config space
|
|
is read. But various workarounds are disabled
|
|
and some IOMMU drivers will not work.
|
|
bfsort Sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
|
|
This sorting is done to get a device
|
|
order compatible with older (<= 2.4) kernels.
|
|
nobfsort Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
