[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v10 01/10] dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BITGRPS macro and callbacks

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BITGRPS(fsname, var, bitmap_desc, bitmap)
allows users to create a drm.debug style (bitmap) sysfs interface,
mapping each bit to a group of pr_debugs, matching on their formats.

This works well when the formats systematically include a prefix
string such as ERR|WARN|INFO, etc.

Such groups can (already) be manipulated like so:

echo "format $prefix +p" >control

This macro merely makes it easier to operate them as groups

/* standard usage */
static struct dyndbg_bitdesc my_bitmap[] = {
[0] = { "gvt:cmd:" },
[1] = { "gvt:core:" },
[2] = { "gvt:dpy:" },
[3] = { "gvt:el:" },
[4] = { "gvt:irq:" },
[5] = { "gvt:mm:" },
[6] = { "gvt:mmio:" },
[7] = { "gvt:render:" },
[8] = { "gvt:sched:" }
};
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BITGRPS(debug_gvt, __gvt_debug,
"i915/gvt bitmap desc", my_bitmap);

In addition to the macro, patch adds:

- int param_set_dyndbg()
- int param_get_dyndbg()
- struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_dyndbg

Following the model of kernel/params.c STANDARD_PARAM_DEFS, these are
non-static and exported.

get/set use an augmented kernel_param; the arg refs a new struct
dyndbg_bitmap_param containing:

A- the map of "categories", an array of struct dyndbg_bitdescs,
indexed by bitpos, defining the match against pr_debug formats.

B- a pointer to the user module's ulong holding the bits/state.
By sharing state, we coordinate with code that still uses it
directly. This allows drm-debug api to be converted incrementally,
while still using __drm_debug & drm_debug_enabled() in other parts.

param_set_dyndbg() compares new vs old bits, and only updates prdbgs
on changes. This maximally preserves the underlying state, which may
have been customized via later `echo $cmd >control`. So if a user
really wants to know that all prdbgs are set precisely, they must
pre-clear then set.

dynamic_debug.h:

Add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_BITGRPS() described above, and a stub
throwing a BUILD_BUG (RFC) when used without DYNAMIC_DEBUG support.

Add structs dyndbg_bitdesc, dyndbg_bitmap_param to support the main
macro, and several helper macros wrapping the given categories with
^prefix and ' ' suffix. This way the callback can be more broadly
used, by using the right helper macro.

Also externs the struct kernel_param param_ops_dyndbg symbol, as is
done in moduleparams.h for all the STANDARD params.

USAGE NOTES:

Using dyndbg to query on "format $str" requires that $str must be
present in the compiled-in format string. Searching on "%s" does not
define a useful set of callsites.

Using DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES wo support gets a BUILD_BUG.
ISTM there is already action at a declarative distance, nobody needs
mystery as to why the /sysfs thingy didn't appear.

Dyndbg is agnostic wrt the categorization scheme used, in order to
play well with any prefix convention already in use in the codebase.
In fact, "prefix" is not strictly accurate without ^ anchor.

Ad-hoc categories and sub-categories are implicitly allowed, author
discipline and review is expected.

Hierarchical classes/categories are natural:

"^drm:<CAT>:" is used in a later commit
"^drm:<CAT>::" is a natural extension.
"^drm:atomic:fail:" has been proposed, sounds directly useful

RFC: in a real sense we abandon enum strictures here, and lose some
compiler help, on spelling errs for example. Obviously "drm:" != "DRM:".

Some properties of a hierarchical category deserve explication:

Trailing spaces matter !

With 1..3-space ("drm: ", "drm:atomic: ", "drm:atomic:fail: "), the
":" doesn't terminate the search-space, the trailing space does. So a
"drm:" search spec will match all DRM categories & subcategories, and
will not be useful in an interface where all categories are already
controlled together. That said, "drm:atomic:" & "drm:atomic: " are
different, and both are useful in cases.

Ad-Hoc categories & sub-categories:

Ad-hoc categories are those format-prefixes already in use; both
amdgpu and i915 have numerous (120,~1800) pr_debugs, most of these use
a system, a small set (9,13) of prefixes, to categorize the output.
Dyndbg already works on these, this patch just allows adding a new
bitmap knob to control them.

Ad-hoc sub-categories are slightly trickier.
since drm_dbg_atomic("fail: ...") is a macro:
pr_debug("drm:atomic:" " " format,...) // cpp-paste in a trailing space

We get "drm:atomic: fail:", with that undesirable embedded space;
obviously not ideal wrt clear and simple prefixes.

a possible fix: drm_dbg_atomic_("fail: ..."); // trailing _ for ad-hoc subcat

Summarizing:

- "drm:kms: " & "drm:kms:" are different
- "drm:kms" also different - includes drm:kms2:
- "drm:kms:\t" also different - could be troublesome
- "drm:kms:*" doesn't work, no wildcard on format atm.

Order matters in DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(... @bit_descs)

Since bits are/will-stay applied 0-N, the later bits can countermand
the earlier ones, but it is tricky - consider;

DD_CATs(... "drm:atomic:", "drm:atomic:fail:" ) // misleading

The 1st search-term is misleading, because it includes (modifies)
subcategories, but then 2nd overrides it. So don't do that.
