Subject: [PATCH 07/17] dyndbg: reduce verbose/debug clutter
Date: Mon, 04 May 2026 14:45:13 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504-dd-cleanups-2-v1-7-6fdd24040642@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504-dd-cleanups-2-v1-0-6fdd24040642@gmail.com>
currently, for verbose=3, these are logged (blank lines for clarity):
dyndbg: query 0: "class DRM_UT_CORE +p" mod:*
dyndbg: split into words: "class" "DRM_UT_CORE" "+p"
dyndbg: op='+'
dyndbg: flags=0x1
dyndbg: *flagsp=0x1 *maskp=0xffffffff
dyndbg: parsed: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=...
dyndbg: no matches for query
dyndbg: no-match: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=...
dyndbg: processed 1 queries, with 0 matches, 0 errs
That is excessive, so this patch:
- shrinks 3 lines of 2nd stanza to single line
- drops 1st 2 lines of 3rd stanza
3rd line is like 1st, with result, not procedure.
2nd line is just status, retold in 4th, with more info.
New output:
dyndbg: query 0: "class DRM_UT_CORE +p" mod:*
dyndbg: split into words: "class" "DRM_UT_CORE" "+p"
dyndbg: op='+' flags=0x1 *flagsp=0x1 *maskp=0xffffffff
dyndbg: no-match: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=...
dyndbg: processed 1 queries, with 0 matches, 0 errs
Also reduce verbose=3 messages in ddebug_add_module
When modprobing a module, dyndbg currently logs/says "add-module", and
then "skipping" if the module has no prdbgs. Instead just check 1st
and return quietly.
no functional change
