This document describes how to use this facility. - -Compile-time configuration --------------------------- - -ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config -option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the -kernel. - -Boot- and run-time configuration --------------------------------- - -When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages -you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and -acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the -debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control -the debug messages. - -debug_layer (component) ------------------------ - -The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a -specific driver or part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer -bitmask, look for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file. - -You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer -command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values -to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer. - -The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h and -include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h. Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer -shows the supported mask values, currently these: - - ACPI_UTILITIES 0x00000001 - ACPI_HARDWARE 0x00000002 - ACPI_EVENTS 0x00000004 - ACPI_TABLES 0x00000008 - ACPI_NAMESPACE 0x00000010 - ACPI_PARSER 0x00000020 - ACPI_DISPATCHER 0x00000040 - ACPI_EXECUTER 0x00000080 - ACPI_RESOURCES 0x00000100 - ACPI_CA_DEBUGGER 0x00000200 - ACPI_OS_SERVICES 0x00000400 - ACPI_CA_DISASSEMBLER 0x00000800 - ACPI_COMPILER 0x00001000 - ACPI_TOOLS 0x00002000 - ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT 0x00010000 - ACPI_AC_COMPONENT 0x00020000 - ACPI_BATTERY_COMPONENT 0x00040000 - ACPI_BUTTON_COMPONENT 0x00080000 - ACPI_SBS_COMPONENT 0x00100000 - ACPI_FAN_COMPONENT 0x00200000 - ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT 0x00400000 - ACPI_POWER_COMPONENT 0x00800000 - ACPI_CONTAINER_COMPONENT 0x01000000 - ACPI_SYSTEM_COMPONENT 0x02000000 - ACPI_THERMAL_COMPONENT 0x04000000 - ACPI_MEMORY_DEVICE_COMPONENT 0x08000000 - ACPI_VIDEO_COMPONENT 0x10000000 - ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT 0x20000000 - -debug_level ------------ - -The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g., -those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc. -To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() -statement. - -The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux -ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO. - -You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level -command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values -to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level. - -The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h.
