Subject: [PATCH v6 13/13] drm/print: Add tracefs support to the drm logging helpers
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2020 11:49:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200609154932.696-1-sean@poorly.run> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202006090859.AP8QhpSU%lkp@intel.com>

From: Sean Paul <seanpaul@chromium.org>

This patch adds a new module parameter called drm.trace which accepts
the same mask as drm.debug. When a debug category is enabled, log
messages will be put in a new tracefs instance called drm for
consumption.

Using the new tracefs instance will allow distros to enable drm logging
in production without impacting performance or spamming the system
logs.

+/**
+ * DOC: DRM Tracing
+ *
+ * *tl;dr* DRM tracing is a lightweight alternative to traditional DRM debug
+ * logging.
+ *
+ * While DRM logging is quite convenient when reproducing a specific issue, it
+ * doesn't help when something goes wrong unexpectedly. There are a couple
+ * reasons why one does not want to enable DRM logging at all times:
+ *
+ * 1. We don't want to overwhelm syslog with drm spam, others have to use it too
+ * 2. Console logging is slow
+ *
+ * DRM tracing aims to solve both these problems.
+ *
+ * To use DRM tracing, set the drm.trace module parameter (via cmdline or sysfs)
+ * to a DRM debug category mask (this is a bitmask of &drm_debug_category
+ * values):
+ * ::
+ *
+ *    eg: echo 0x106 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/trace
+ *
+ * Once active, all log messages in the specified categories will be written to
+ * the DRM trace. Once at capacity, the trace will overwrite old messages with
+ * new ones. At any point, one can read the trace file to extract the previous N
+ * DRM messages:
+ * ::
+ *
+ *    eg: cat /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/drm/trace
+ *
+ * Considerations
+ * **************
+ * The trace is subsystem wide, so if you have multiple devices active, they
+ * will be adding logs to the same trace.
+ *
+ * The contents of the DRM Trace are **not** considered UABI. **DO NOT depend on
+ * the values of these traces in your userspace.** These traces are intended for
+ * entertainment purposes only. The contents of these logs carry no warranty,
+ * expressed or implied.
