[PATCH 08/17] dyndbg: refactor param_set_dyndbg_classes and below

Jim Cromie
2026-05-04T20:45:27Z

Refactor callchain below param_set_dyndbg_classes(1) to allow mod-name
specific settings. Split (1) into upper/lower fns, adding modname
param to lower, and passing NULL in from upper. Below that, add the
same param to ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(), and pass it thru to
_ddebug_queries(), replacing NULL with the param.

This allows the callchain to update the classmap in just one module,
vs just all as currently done. While the sysfs param is unlikely to
ever update just one module, the callchain will be used for modprobe
handling, which should update only that just-probed module.

In ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(), also check for actual changes to the
bits before announcing them, to declutter logs.

No functional change.
