- Kernel Parameters
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The following is a consolidated list of the kernel parameters as
- implemented by the __setup(), core_param() and module_param() macros
- 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.
-
- The kernel parses parameters from the kernel command line up to "--";
- if it doesn't recognize a parameter and it doesn't contain a '.', the
- parameter gets passed to init: parameters with '=' go into init's
- environment, others are passed as command line arguments to init.
- Everything after "--" is passed as an argument to init.
-
- Module parameters can be specified in two ways: via the kernel command
- line with a module name prefix, or via modprobe, e.g.:
-
- (kernel command line) usbcore.blinkenlights=1
- (modprobe command line) modprobe usbcore blinkenlights=1
-
- Parameters for modules which are built into the kernel need to be
- specified on the kernel command line. modprobe looks through the
- kernel command line (/proc/cmdline) and collects module parameters
- when it loads a module, so the kernel command line can be used for
- loadable modules too.
-
- Hyphens (dashes) and underscores are equivalent in parameter names, so
- log_buf_len=1M print-fatal-signals=1
- can also be entered as
- log-buf-len=1M print_fatal_signals=1
-
- Double-quotes can be used to protect spaces in values, e.g.:
- param="spaces in here"
-
- cpu lists:
- ----------
-
- Some kernel parameters take a list of CPUs as a value, e.g. isolcpus,
- nohz_full, irqaffinity, rcu_nocbs. The format of this list is:
-
- <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>
-
- or
-
- <cpu number>-<cpu number>
- (must be a positive range in ascending order)
-
- or a mixture
-
- <cpu number>,...,<cpu number>-<cpu number>
-
- Note that for the special case of a range one can split the range into equal
- sized groups and for each group use some amount from the beginning of that
- group:
-
- <cpu number>-cpu number>:<used size>/<group size>
-
- For example one can add to the command line following parameter:
-
- isolcpus=1,2,10-20,100-2000:2/25
-
- where the final item represents CPUs 100,101,125,126,150,151,...
-
-
-
- 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

- X86_UV SGI UV support is enabled.
- XEN Xen support is enabled
-
- 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/x86/boot.txt>.
-
- There are also arch-specific kernel-parameters not documented here.
- See for example <Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.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.
-
- Finally, the [KMG] suffix is commonly described after a number of kernel
- parameter values. These 'K', 'M', and 'G' letters represent the _binary_
- multipliers 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga', equalling 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30
- bytes respectively. Such letter suffixes can also be entirely omitted.

+ 1. Cpu will not wait for I/O to complete, iowait is the time that a task is

+ 2. In a multi-core CPU, the task waiting for I/O to complete is not running

+ 3. The value of iowait field in /proc/stat will decrease in certain
+ conditions.
+ So, the iowait is not reliable by reading from /proc/stat.
