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.

ddebug_change() is a big (~100 lines) function with a nested for loop.

The outer loop walks the per-module ddebug_tables list, and does
module stuff: it filters on a query's "module FOO*" and "class BAR",
failures here skip the entire inner loop.

The inner loop (60 lines) scans a module's descriptors.  It starts
with a long block of filters on function, line, format, and the
validated "BAR" class (or the legacy/_DPRINTK_CLASS_DFLT).

These filters "continue" past pr_debugs that don't match the query
criteria, before it falls through the code below that counts matches,
then adjusts the flags and static-keys.  This is unnecessarily hard to
think about.

So move the per-descriptor filter-block into a boolean function:
ddebug_match_desc(desc), and change each "continue" to "return false".
This puts a clear interface in place, so any future changes are either
inside, outside, or across this interface.

also fix checkpatch complaints about spaces and braces.

Add the stub macro for !DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds, after moving the
original macro-defn down under the big ifdef.  Do it now so future
changes have a cleaner starting point.

When a dyndbg classname is unknown to a kernel module (as before
previous patch), the callsite is un-addressable via >control queries.

The control-file displays this condition as "class unknown,"
currently.  That spelling is sub-optimal/too-generic, so change it to
"class:_UNKNOWN_" to loudly announce the erroneous situation, and to
make it uniquely greppable.

struct ddebug_class_param keeps a ref to the state-storage of the
param; make both class-types use the same unsigned long storage type.

ISTM this is simpler and safer; it avoids an irrelevant difference,
and if 2 users somehow get class-type mixed up (or refer to the wrong
union member), at least they will both see the same value.

Disambiguate pr_fmt(fmt) arg, by changing it to _FMT_, to avoid naming
confusion with many later macros also using that argname.

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

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.

old_bits arg is currently a pointer to the input bits, but this could
allow inadvertent changes to the input by the fn.  Disallow this.
And constify new_bits while here.

Classmaps are stored in an elf section/array, but currently are
individually list-linked onto dyndbg's per-module ddebug_table for
operation. This is unnecessary.

Just like dyndbg's descriptors, classes are packed in compile order;
so even with many builtin modules employing multiple classmaps, each
modules' maps are packed contiguously, and can be treated as a
array-start-address & array-length.

So this drops the whole list building operation done in
ddebug_attach_module_classes(), and removes the list-head members.
The "select-by-modname" condition is reused to find the start,end of
the subrange.

NOTE: This "filter-by-modname" on classmaps should really be done in
ddebug_add_module(1); ie at least one step closer to ddebug_init(2),
which already splits up pr-debug descriptors into subranges by
modname, then calls (1) on each.  (2) knows nothing of classmaps
currently, and doesn't need to.  For now, just add comment.

dynamic-debug currently has 2 __sections (__dyndbg, __dyndb_classes),
struct _ddebug_info keeps track of them both, with 2 members each:
_vec and _vec#_len.

We need to loop over these sections, with index and record pointer,
making ref to both _vec and _vec_len.  This is already fiddly and
error-prone, and will get worse as we add a 3rd section.

Lets instead embed/abstract the fiddly-ness in the `for_subvec()`
macro, and avoid repeating it going forward.

This is a for-loop macro expander, so it syntactically expects to
precede either a single statement or a { block } of them, and the
usual typeof or do-while-0 tricks are unavailable to fix the
multiple-expansion warning.

The macro needs a lot from its caller: it needs 2 local vars, 1 of
which is a ref to a contained struct with named members.  To support
these requirements, add:

1. __ASSERT_IS_LVALUE(_X):
   ie: ((void)sizeof((void)0, &(x)))

2. __ASSERT_HAS_VEC_MEMBERS(_X, _Y):
   compile-time check that the _Y "vector" exists
   ie: _X->_Y and _X->num_##_Y are lvalues.

The for_subvec() macro then invokes these in the initialization of the
for-loop; they disappear at runtime.

recompose struct _ddebug_info, inserting proper sub-structs.

The struct _ddebug_info has 2 pairs of _vec, num_##_vec fields, for
descs and classes respectively.  for_subvec() makes walking these
vectors less cumbersome, now lets move those field pairs into their
own "vec" structs: _ddebug_descs & _ddebug_class_maps, and re-compose
struct _ddebug_info to contain them cleanly.  This also lets us get
rid of for_subvec()'s num_##_vec paste-up.

Also recompose struct ddebug_table to contain a _ddebug_info.  This
reinforces its use as a cursor into relevant data for a builtin
module, and access to the full _ddebug state for modules.

NOTES:

Fixup names: Normalize all struct names to "struct _ddebug_*"
eliminating the minor/stupid variations created in classmaps-v1.

Invariant: These vectors ref a contiguous subrange of __section memory
in builtin/DATA or in loadable modules via mod->dyndbg_info; with
guaranteed life-time for us.

struct module contains a _ddebug_info field and module/main.c sets it
up, so that gets adjusted rather obviously.

struct _ddebug_info already has most of dyndbg's info for a module;
push debug_table.mod_name down into it, finishing the encapsulation.

This allows refactoring several callchains, passing &_ddebug_info
instead of &ddebug_table, and hoisting the "&dt->info" deref up
instead of repeating it thru the callchans

ddebug_table contains a _ddebug_info member, so its users keep access
to mod_name, just now with "->info." added in.

In static ddebug_add_module(&di), reinforce the cursor-model by
dropping the modname arg, and setting di->mod_name at each caller.

The body of ddebug_attach_module_classes() is dominated by a
code-block that finds the contiguous subrange of classmaps matching on
modname, and saves it into the ddebug_table's info record.

Implement this block in a macro to accommodate different component
vectors in the "box" (as named in the for_subvec macro).  We will
reuse this macro shortly.

And hoist its invocation out of ddebug_attach_module_classes() up into
ddebug_add_module().  This moves the filtering step up closer to
dynamic_debug_init(), which already segments the builtin pr_debug
descriptors on their mod_name boundaries.

v10?- reordered params to match kdoc

v12- refactor/rename: s/dd_mark_vector_subrange/dd_set_module_subrange/

1. Renamed the macro from dd_mark_vector_subrange to
   ddebug_set_module_subrange to better reflect its purpose of
   narrowing a vector to a module-specific subrange.

2. Simplified the arguments by removing the redundant _dst, as the _di
   pointer already provides access to the target _ddebug_info struct.

3. Refactored for Clarity: Instead of overwriting the struct's start
   pointer while the for_subvec loop is using it to iterate, I
   introduced a temporary __start variable. This avoids the "subtle"
   side effect and makes the logic easier to follow.

4. Updated Documentation: Improved the comment block to explicitly
   state that the macro scans for the first match and counts
   contiguous elements.

Remove the DD_CLASS_TYPE_*_NAMES classmap types and code.

These 2 classmap types accept class names at the PARAM interface, for
example:

  echo +DRM_UT_CORE,-DRM_UT_KMS > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug_names

The code works, but its only used by test-dynamic-debug, and wasn't
asked for by anyone else, so reduce LOC & test-surface; simplify things.

Also rename enum class_map_type to enum ddebug_class_map_type.

Add a selftest script for dynamic-debug.  The config requires
CONFIG_TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=m and CONFIG_TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_SUBMOD=m,
which tacitly requires either CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE=y

ATM this has just basic_tests(), which modify pr_debug() flags in the
builtin params module.  This means they're available to manipulate and
observe the effects in "cat control".

This is backported from another feature branch; the support-fns (thx
Lukas) have unused features at the moment, they'll get used shortly.

The script enables simple virtme-ng testing:

   [jimc@gandalf b0-ftrace]$ vrun_t
   virtme-ng 1.32+115.g07b109d
   doing: vng --name v6.14-rc4-60-gd5f48427de0c \
	  --user root -v -p 4 -a dynamic_debug.verbose=3 V=1 \
	  -- ../tools/testing/selftests/dynamic_debug/dyndbg_selftest.sh
   virtme: waiting for virtiofsd to start
   ..

And add dynamic_debug to TARGETS, so `make run_tests` sees it properly
For the impatient, set TARGETS explicitly:

  [root@v6 selftests]# make TARGETS=dynamic_debug run_tests
  make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
  TAP version 13
  1..1
  # timeout set to 45
  # selftests: dynamic_debug: dyndbg_selftest.sh
  # # BASIC_TESTS    95.422122] dyndbg: query 0: 0"=_" mod:*
  ...

NOTES

check KCONFIG_CONFIG to avoid silly fails

Several tests are dependent upon config choices. Lets avoid failing
where that is noise.

The KCONFIG_CONFIG var exists to convey the config-file around.  If
the var names a file, read it and extract the relevant CONFIG items,
and use them to skip the dependent tests, thus avoiding the fails that
would follow, and the disruption to whatever CI is running these
selftests.

If the envar doesn't name a config-file, ".config" is assumed.

CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y:

basic-tests() and comma-terminator-tests() test for the presence of
the builtin pr_debugs in module/main.c, which I deemed stable and
therefore safe to count.  That said, the test fails if only
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE=y is set.  It could be rewritten to test
against test-dynamic-debug.ko, but that just trades one config
dependence for another.

CONFIG_TEST_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=m

As written, test_percent_splitting() modprobes test_dynamic_debug,
enables several classes, and counts them.  It could be re-written to
work for the builtin module also, but builtin test modules are not a
common or desirable build/config.

The Xe driver's XE_IOCTL_DBG macro calls drm_dbg() from inside an if
(expression).  This breaks when CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y because
the invoked macro has a do-while-0 wrapper, and is not an expression.

   if (cond && (drm_dbg("expr-form"),1)) {
      ... do some more stuff
   }

Fix for this usage by changing __dynamic_func_call_cls{,_no_desc}
macros into expressions, by replacing the do-while-0s with a ({ })
wrapper.  In the common usage, the trailing ';' converts the
expression into a statement.

   drm_dbg("statement form");
