Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] rust_binder: Add dynamic debug logging mask
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:32:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710-rust_binder_debug_mask-v2-1-2846410e3ae6@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710-rust_binder_debug_mask-v2-0-2846410e3ae6@google.com>
From: Jahnavi MN <jahnavimn@google.com>
Implement a dynamic debug logging mask (`debug_mask`) for the
`rust_binder` module to allow dynamic runtime configuration of log
levels. This enables parity with the legacy C driver's debug mask.
Since the Rust `module!` macro in the current kernel build does not yet
support declaring module parameters directly in Rust, we define the
`debug_mask` variable in a C companion file to expose it to the kernel
runtime and import it using FFI with volatile reads.
To verify the setup, instrument process lifecycle events (open, flush,
and release) in `process.rs` under the new `BINDER_DEBUG_OPEN_CLOSE`
logging mask. These entry-point events are chosen for initial validation
because they represent the start of the Binder lifecycle and occur
at low frequency, allowing simple runtime verification of the dynamic
toggle without log noise.
