hello all,
commit aad0214f3026 ("dyndbg: add DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP macro")
added dyndbg's "classmaps" feature, which brought dyndbg's 0-off-cost
debug to DRM. Dyndbg wired to /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug,
mapped its bits to classes named "DRM_UT_*", and effected the callsite
enablements only on updates to the sys-node (and underlying >control).
Sadly, it hit a CI failure, resulting in:
commit bb2ff6c27bc9 ("drm: Disable dynamic debug as broken")
The regression was that drivers, when modprobed, did not get the
drm.debug=0xff turn-on action, because that had already been done for
drm.ko itself.
The core design bug is in the DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP macro. Its use
in both drm.ko (ie core) and all drivers.ko meant that they couldn't
fundamentally distinguish their respective roles. They each
"re-defined" the classmap separately, breaking K&R-101.
My ad-hoc test scripting helped to hide the error from me, by 1st
testing various combos of boot-time module.dyndbg=... and
drm.debug=... configurations, and then inadvertently relying upon
those initializations.
This series addresses both failings:
It replaces DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP with
- `DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE`: Used by core modules (e.g.,
`drm.ko`) to define their classmaps. Based upon DECLARE, it exports
the classmap so USE can use it.
- `DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE`: this lets other "subsystem" users
create a linkage to the classmap defined elsewhere (ie drm.ko).
These users can then find their "parent" and apply its settings.
It adds a selftest script, and a 2nd "sub-module" to recapitulate
DRM's multi-module "subsystem" use-case, including the specific
failure scenario.
It also adds minor parsing enhancements, allowing easier construction
of multi-part debug configurations. These enhancements are used to
test classmaps in particular, but are not otherwize required.
v7 adds:
. WARN_ONCE when classmap isnt found for a class'd callsite, JBaron
. reorder macro args to match kdoc, JBaron
. Doc formatting fixes, by Bagas
Thank you for your review.
P.S. Id also like to "tease" some other work:
1. patchset to send pr_debugs to tracefs on +T flag
allows 63 "private" tracebufs, 1 "common" one (at 0)
"drm.debug_2trace=0x1ff" is possible
from Lukas Bartoski
2. patchset to save 40% of DATA_DATA footprint
move (modname,filename,function) to struct _ddebug_site
save their descriptor intervals to 3 maple-trees
3 accessors fetch on descriptor, from trees
move __dyndbg_sites __section to INIT_DATA
3. patchset to cache dynamic-prefixes
should hide 2.s cost increase.

ddebug_change() is a big (~100 lines) function with a nested for loop.
The outer loop walks the per-module ddebug_tables list, and does
module stuff: it filters on a query's "module FOO*" and "class BAR",
failures here skip the entire inner loop.
The inner loop (60 lines) scans a module's descriptors. It starts
with a long block of filters on function, line, format, and the
validated "BAR" class (or the legacy/_DPRINTK_CLASS_DFLT).
These filters "continue" past pr_debugs that don't match the query
criteria, before it falls through the code below that counts matches,
then adjusts the flags and static-keys. This is unnecessarily hard to
think about.
So move the per-descriptor filter-block into a boolean function:
ddebug_match_desc(desc), and change each "continue" to "return false".
This puts a clear interface in place, so any future changes are either
inside, outside, or across this interface.
also fix checkpatch complaints about spaces and braces.
