This is inside a VM (virtual machine) under Qubes OS 4.0, a so called AppVM running Fedora 28 with kernel 4.18.5 (manually compiled).
The message(Magic number: 1:252:3141
) is gone if I merge all these options on top of these base ones.
Why do I need to know this? I am reducing my kernel .config
to only what's needed, so I'm comparing dmesg
logs for anything that is missing and I might still need.
Note: there is no output for lspci
or lsusb
inside this VM (I don't know why), maybe this is how it works for VMs under xen? So I couldn't test to see if those numbers grep to anything - and it's nothing else in the dmesg
itself.
EDIT: I recompiled kernel with only CONFIG_HID_MAGICMOUSE=y
(changed from # CONFIG_HID_MAGICMOUSE is not set
) and the message did not appear! So I conclude that either this is not the option, OR I also turned off some debug messages that were previously on?
CONFIG_HID_MAGICMOUSE:

The message(
Magic number: 1:252:3141
) is gone if I merge all these options on top of these base ones.
The message Magic number: 1:252:3141
appears only when kernel .config
option CONFIG_PM_TRACE_RTC=y
:
CONFIG_PM_TRACE_RTC:
This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the
machine, reboot it and then run
dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
set to an invalid time after a resume.
Symbol: PM_TRACE_RTC [=y]
Type : bool
Prompt: Suspend/resume event tracing
Location:
-> Power management and ACPI options
Defined at kernel/power/Kconfig:218
Depends on: PM_SLEEP_DEBUG [=y] && X86 [=y]
Selects: PM_TRACE [=y]
Documentation mentioning Magic number:
: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/s2ram.txt
Quoting the following from the file(drivers/base/power/trace.c) whose code is responsible for the Magic number: 1:252:3141
message:
/*
* drivers/base/power/trace.c

...
/*
* Horrid, horrid, horrid.
*
* It turns out that the _only_ piece of hardware that actually
* keeps its value across a hard boot (and, more importantly, the
* POST init sequence) is literally the realtime clock.
*
* Never mind that an RTC chip has 114 bytes (and often a whole
* other bank of an additional 128 bytes) of nice SRAM that is
* _designed_ to keep data - the POST will clear it. So we literally
* can just use the few bytes of actual time data, which means that
* we're really limited.
*
* It means, for example, that we can't use the seconds at all
* (since the time between the hang and the boot might be more
* than a minute), and we'd better not depend on the low bits of
* the minutes either.
*
* There are the wday fields etc, but I wouldn't guarantee those
* are dependable either. And if the date isn't valid, either the
* hw or POST will do strange things.
*
* So we're left with:
* - year: 0-99
* - month: 0-11
* - day-of-month: 1-28
* - hour: 0-23
* - min: (0-30)*2
*
* Giving us a total range of 0-16128000 (0xf61800), ie less
* than 24 bits of actual data we can save across reboots.
*

The message(
Magic number: 1:252:3141
) is gone if I merge all these options on top of these base ones.
The message Magic number: 1:252:3141
appears only when kernel .config
option CONFIG_PM_TRACE_RTC=y
:
CONFIG_PM_TRACE_RTC:
This enables some cheesy code to save the last PM event point in the
RTC across reboots, so that you can debug a machine that just hangs
during suspend (or more commonly, during resume).
To use this debugging feature you should attempt to suspend the
machine, reboot it and then run
dmesg -s 1000000 | grep 'hash matches'
CAUTION: this option will cause your machine's real-time clock to be
set to an invalid time after a resume.
