Subject: [PATCH v13 00/36] fix dynamic-debug classmaps regression for DRM
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 14:01:35 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260408200211.43821-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
dynamic-debug classmaps in master is BROKEN for DRM, due to a design
error in DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_ClASSMAP; its use in both drm-core and
drivers made multiple/redundant definitions of the classmap. This led
to a regression enabling drm.debug at boot, on builtin drivers.
This patchset retires the macro, and replaces it with
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_ClASSMAP_DEFINE and DYNAMIC_DEBUG_ClASSMAP_USE. 1st is
invoked in drm-core, and defines the classmap, 2nd refers to that
exported definition, and is used in drivers and drm-helpers.
-v13 is a basically a -v12-resend, but:
1. Drops DRM's use of the new API; it can adopt them on its schedule.
IOW it omits the 1-liner calls to DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE().
and a few other patches.
2. rewords 2 macro-invokes to verify validations on bad API uses.
changed to better explain what is being tested and prevented.
these are inactive unless compiled with -DDD_MACRO_ARGCHECK
3. includes patch from Philip Hahn to fix pr_fmt with 2+ terms
this was also in v12.
-v12
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260326185413.1205870-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com/
had:
vmlinux.lds.h is refactored:
- BOUNDED_SECTION* macros are pulled into bounded_section.lds.h
- dynamic-debug sections are factored into dyndbg.lds.h,
which reuses bounded_section.lds.h
- scripts/module.lds.S gets proper output sections for dyndbg
this fixes lost sections seen in some setups
- based upon codetag.lds.h
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE*() is refined:
- previous had static class-map decl and unique names
- now have extern'd <classname>-<usermod> names, matching 1-per-module model
- now with compile-time offset check
- _USE/_USE_ together allows more squashing
better modprobe-time classmap definition error detection:
- test descriptors for unknown class-names
- more complete class-map/user conflict detection
rebased onto -rc5
- applies cleanly to drm-misc-fixes
- passes a few more tests on DRM-CI
include patch from Philipp Hahn <phahn-oss@avm.de>
clean subsystem chunks
- dyndbg 1st
- drm - fixes for DRM-CI, adapt,use new API, un-BROKEN
- drm/accel - least mature, I have no HW
-v11 is here
