Subject: [PATCH 00/17] dynamic-debug cleanups refactors maintenance
Date: Mon, 04 May 2026 14:45:06 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504-dd-cleanups-2-v1-0-6fdd24040642@gmail.com> (raw)

This series is nearly all maintenance: it refactors/splits functions,
tightens an internal callchain, drops linked-listing where an
array,length is already available, reduces verbose=3 logging for
usability, and reorganizes several structs for better organization.

Getting these into linux-next for integration testing would clear the
deck for fixing Dynamic-debug classmaps, which is needed to restore
the un-BROKEN status of DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG.

Theyre on master at v7.1-rc2

The "modules" intersection is on the re-composing of struct
ddebug_info, which is a member in struct module, and maps a module's
__dyndbg* elf sections.

The user visible change to /proc/dynamic_debug/control is s/class
unknown/class:_UNKNOWN_/, which is a more visible/greppable indication
of incomplete class definitions.

Coder visible change is to drop the enum ddebug_class_map_type's
unused vals - namely: DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_NAMES
& DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NAMES

These allowed more symbolic named inputs:
  echo +DRM_UT_CORE > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug

But theyre unused 3 years later, and probably not worth keeping.
With a removal commit in the log, its easy enough to restore them later.
