svn commit: r327424 - head/sys/conf

Author: cperciva

New Revision: 327424
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/327424

Log:
  Connect kern_tslog.c to the build and add TSLOG / TSLOGSIZE kernel options.
  These are intended for debugging purposes and should not be added to
  "generic" kernel configurations since they result in a nontrivial amount
  of memory being set aside for this purpose, can break if kernel modules are
  unloaded, and can potentially leak a dangerous amount of information about
  timestamps used as a source of kernel entropy.

+# The TSLOG option enables timestamped logging of events, especially
+# function entries/exits, in order to track the time spent by the kernel.
+# In particular, this is useful when investigating the early boot process,
+# before it is possible to use more sophisticated tools like DTrace.
+# The TSLOGSIZE option controls the size of the (preallocated, fixed
+# length) buffer used for storing these events (default: 262144 records).
+#
+# For security reasons the TSLOG option should not be enabled on systems
+# used in production.
