+ acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI,ACPI_DEBUG]
Format: <int>
- Each bit of the <int> indicates an ACPI debug layer,
- 1: enable, 0: disable. It is useful for boot time
- debugging. After system has booted up, it can be set
- via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled for this to produce any output.
- Available bits (add the numbers together) to enable debug output
- for specific parts of the ACPI subsystem:
- 0x01 utilities 0x02 hardware 0x04 events 0x08 tables
- 0x10 namespace 0x20 parser 0x40 dispatcher
- 0x80 executer 0x100 resources 0x200 acpica debugger
- 0x400 os services 0x800 acpica disassembler.
- The number can be in decimal or prefixed with 0x in hex.
- Warning: Many of these options can produce a lot of
- output and make your system unusable. Be very careful.

- acpi.debug_level= [HW,ACPI]
- Format: <int>
- Each bit of the <int> indicates an ACPI debug level,
- which corresponds to the level in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
- statement. After system has booted up, this mask
- can be set via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.

- CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled for this to produce
- any output. The number can be in decimal or prefixed

- The following global components are defined by the
- ACPI CA:
- 0x01 error
- 0x02 warn
- 0x04 init

- 0x10 info
- 0x20 init names
- 0x40 parse

+ CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG must be enabled to produce any ACPI
+ debug output. Bits in debug_layer correspond to a
+ _COMPONENT in an ACPI source file, e.g.,
+ #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT
+ Bits in debug_level correspond to a level in
+ ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statements, e.g.,
+ ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, ...
+ See Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for more information
+ about debug layers and levels.
+
+ Enable AML "Debug" output, i.e., stores to the Debug
+ object while interpreting AML:
+ acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
+ Enable PCI/PCI interrupt routing info messages:
+ acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
+ Enable all messages related to ACPI hardware:
+ acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
+
+ Some values produce so much output that the system is
+ unusable. The "log_buf_len" parameter may be useful
+ if you need to capture more output.
