Subject: [PATCH v6 00/31] drm/dyndbg: Fix dynamic debug classmap regression
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 13:18:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118201842.1447666-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
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.
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.
