Subject: [PATCH 6.1 050/118] drm: Disable dynamic debug as broken
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2023 14:36:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230220133602.450259586@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230220133600.368809650@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com>

commit bb2ff6c27bc9e1da4d3ec5e7b1d6b9df1092cb5a upstream.

CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG breaks debug prints for (at least modular)
drm drivers. The debug prints can be reinstated by manually frobbing
/sys/module/drm/parameters/debug after the fact, but at that point the
damage is done and all debugs from driver probe are lost. This makes
drivers totally undebuggable.

There's a more complete fix in progress [1], with further details, but
we need this fixed in stable kernels. Mark the feature as broken and
disable it by default, with hopes distros follow suit and disable it as
well.
