Subject: [PATCH v8 36/43] dyndbg: resolve "protection" of class'd pr_debug
Date: Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:13:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260905-dd-cmap-part2-clean-v8-36-a4cc0674f6fd@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260905-dd-cmap-part2-clean-v8-0-a4cc0674f6fd@gmail.com>
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>
classmap-v1 code protected class'd pr_debugs from unintended
changes by unclassed/_DFLT queries:
# - to declutter examples:
alias ddcmd='echo $* > /proc/dynamic_debug/control'
# IOW, this should NOT alter drm.debug settings
ddcmd -p
# Instead, you must name the class to change it.
# Protective but tedious
ddcmd class DRM_UT_CORE +p
# Or do it the (old school) subsystem way
# This is ABI !!
echo 1 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
Since the debug sysfs-node is ABI, if dyndbg is going to implement it,
it must also honor its settings; it must at least protect against
accidental changes to its classes from legacy queries.
The protection allows all previously conceived queries to work the way
they always have; ie select the same set of pr_debugs, despite the
inclusion of whole new classes of pr_debugs.
But that choice has 2 downsides:
1. "name the class to change it" makes a tedious long-winded
interface, needing many commands to set DRM_UT_* one at a time.
2. It makes the class keyword special in some sense; the other
keywords skip only on query mismatch, otherwise the code falls thru to
adjust the pr-debug site.
Jason Baron didn't like v1 on point 2.
Louis Chauvet didn't like recent rev on point 1 tedium.
But that said: /sys/ is ABI, so this must be reliable:
#> echo 0x1f > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
It 'just works' without dyndbg underneath; we must deliver that same
stability. Convenience is secondary.
The new resolution:
If ABI is the blocking issue, then no ABI means no blocking issue.
IOW, if the classmap has no presence under /sys/*, ie no PARAM, there
is no ABI to guard, and no reason to enforce a tedious interface.
In the future, if DRM wants to alter this protection, that is
practical, but I think default-on is the correct mode.
So atm classes without a PARAM are unprotected at >control, allowing
admins their shortcuts. I think this could satisfy all viewpoints.
That said, theres also a possibility of wildcard classes:
#> ddcmd class '*' +p
Currently, the query-class is exact-matched against each module's
classmaps.names. This gives precise behavior, a good basis.
But class wildcards are possible, they just did'nt appear useful for
DRM, whose classmap names are a flat DRM_UT_* namespace.
IOW, theres no useful selectivity there:
#> ddcmd class "DRM_*" +p # these enable every DRM_* class
#> ddcmd class "DRM_UT_*" +p
#> ddcmd class "DRM_UT_V*" +p # finally select just 1: DRM_UT_VBL
#> ddcmd class "DRM_UT_D*" +p # but this gets 3
#> ddcmd class "D*V*" +p # here be dragons
But there is debatable utility in the feature.
#> ddcmd class __DEFAULT__ -p # what about this ?
#> ddcmd -p # thats what this does. automatically
Anyway, this patch does:
1. adds link field from _ddebug_class_map to the .controlling_param
2. sets it in ddebug_match_apply_kparam(), during modprobe/init,
when options like drm.debug=VAL are handled.
3. ddebug_class_has_param() now checks .controlling_param
4. ddebug_class_wants_protection() macro renames 3.
this frames it as a separable policy decision
5. ddebug_match_desc() gets the most attention:
a. move classmap consideration to the bottom
this insures all other constraints act 1st.
allows simpler 'final' decisions.
b. split class choices cleanly on query:
class FOO vs none, and class'd vs _DPRINTK_CLASS_DFLT site.
c. calls 4 when applying a class-less query to a class'd pr_debug
here we need a new fn to find the classmap with this .class_id
d. calls new ddebug_find_classmap_by_class_id().
when class-less query looks at a class'd pr_debug.
finds classmap, which can then decide, currently by PARAM existence.
NOTES:
protection is only against class-less queries, explicit "class FOO"
adjustments are allowed (that is the mechanism).
The drm.debug sysfs-node heavily under-specifies the class'd pr_debugs
it controls; none of the +mfls prefixing flags have any effect, and
each callsite remains individually controllable. drm.debug just
toggles the +p flag for all the modules' class'd pr_debugs.
