[PATCH v8 08/16] dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES bitmap and callbacks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(fsname, var, bitmap_desc, @bit_descs)
allows users to create a drm.debug style (bitmap) sysfs interface,
mapping each bit to a pr_debug "category".

Unlike drm, dyndbg has no coding of "category", but it can select a
set of pr_debugs with a substr match on their formats.  Since many
pr_debugs use a system of format prefixes, dyndbg can en/disable those
existing groupings as sets/categories.

the new macro's categories are used like so:

    echo format '^$category ' +/-p >control

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(debug_gvt, __gvt_debug,
	"i915/gvt bitmap desc",
	/*
	 * map each bit to a category
	 * helper macro adds ^ prefix and ' ' suffix seen above
	 */
	_DD_cat_(0, "gvt:cmd:"),
	_DD_cat_(1, "gvt:core:"),
	_DD_cat_(2, "gvt:dpy:"),
	_DD_cat_(3, "gvt:el:"),
	_DD_cat_(4, "gvt:irq:"),
	_DD_cat_(5, "gvt:mm:"),
	_DD_cat_(6, "gvt:mmio:"),
	_DD_cat_(7, "gvt:render:"),
	_DD_cat_(8, "gvt:sched:"));

 - int param_set_dyndbg()
 - int param_get_dyndbg()
 - struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_dyndbg

Following the model of kernel/params.c STANDARD_PARAM_DEFS, these are
non-static and exported.

get/set use an augmented kernel_param; the arg refs a new struct
dyndbg_bitmap_param containing:

A- the map (array, indexed by bitpos) of "categories" (strings to find
   in prdbg.formats).  These define the set/category of callsites per bit.

B- a pointer to the user's ulong holding the bits/state.
   by sharing state, we coordinate with code that still uses it directly

B allows drm-debug api to be converted incrementally, while still
using __drm_debug & drm_debug_enabled() in other parts.

param_set_dyndbg() compares new vs old bits, and only updates prdbgs
on changes.  This maximally preserves the underlying state, which may
have been customized via later `echo $cmd >control`.  So if a user
really wants to know that all prdbgs are set precisely, they must
pre-clear then set.

dynamic_debug.h:

Add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES() described above, and a stub
throwing a BUILD_BUG (RFC) when used without DYNAMIC_DEBUG support.

Add structs dyndbg_bitdesc, dyndbg_bitmap_param to support the main
macro, and several helper macros wrapping the given categories with
^prefix and ' ' suffix.  This way the callback can be more broadly
used, by using the right helper macro.

Also externs the struct kernel_param param_ops_dyndbg symbol, as is
done in moduleparams.h for all the STANDARD params.

USAGE NOTES:

Using dyndbg to query on "format ^$prefix" requires that $prefix must be
present in the compiled-in format string.  Searching on "%s" does not
define a useful set of callsites.

Using DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES wo support gets a BUILD_BUG.
ISTM there is already action at a declarative distance, nobody needs
mystery as to why the /sysfs thingy didn't appear.

Dyndbg is completely agnostic wrt the categorization scheme used, in
order to play well with any prefix convention already in use in the
codebase.  Ad-hoc categories and sub-categories are implicitly
allowed, author discipline and review is expected.

In fact, the ^anchor is not required; "format $floating_substr" is the
default meaning.  The _DD_cat_() helper macro adds the ^anchor, and a
trailing space (see below for why).

Here are some examples: (these all need ^anchor to be practical)

"^1","^2","^3"		2 doesn't imply 1.
   			otherwize, sorta like printk levels
"^1:","^2:","^3:"	are better, avoiding [1-9]\d+ ambiguity
"^hi:","^mid:","^low:"	are reasonable, and imply independence
"^todo:","^rfc:"	might be handy
"^A:".."^Z:"		uhm, yeah

Hierarchical classes/categories are natural:

"^drm:<CAT>:"		is used in a later commit
"^drm:<CAT>:<SUB>:"	is a natural extension.
"^drm:atomic:fail:"	has been proposed, sounds directly useful

High density "punctuation" tld classification is possible:
  "^.","^:","^!","^#","^@", etc.

NB: in a real sense we abandon enum strictures here, and lose some
compiler help, on spelling errs for example.  Obviously "drm:" != "DRM:".

Some properties of a hierarchical category deserve explication:

Trailing spaces matter !

With 1..3-space ("drm: ", "drm:atomic: ", "drm:atomic:fail: "), the
":" doesn't terminate the search-space, the trailing space does.  So a
"drm:" search spec will match all DRM categories & subcategories, and
will not be useful in an interface where all categories are already
controlled together.  That said, "drm:atomic:" & "drm:atomic: " are
different, and both are useful in cases.

Ad-Hoc categories & sub-categories:

Ad-hoc categories are those format-prefixes already in use; both
amdgpu and i915 have numerous (120,~1800) pr_debugs, most of these use
a system, a small set (9,13) of prefixes, to categorize the output.
Dyndbg already works on these, this patch just adds a bitmap knob.

ad-hoc sub-categories are slightly trickier.
If drm_dbg_atomic("fail: ...") is a macro:
    pr_debug("drm:atomic:" " " format,...) // cpp-paste in a trailing space

We get "drm:atomic: fail:", with that undesirable embedded space;
obviously not ideal wrt clear and simple prefixes.

a fix: drm_dbg_atomic_("fail: ..."); // trailing _ for ad-hoc subcat

Summarizing:

 - "drm:kms: " & "drm:kms:" are different
 - "drm:kms"		also different - includes drm:kms2:
 - "drm:kms:\t"		also different - could be troublesome
 - "drm:kms:*"		doesn't work, no wildcard on format atm.

Order matters in DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(... @bit_descs)

Since bits are/will-stay applied 0-N, the later bits can countermand
the earlier ones, but it is tricky - consider;

    DD_CATs(... "drm:atomic:", "drm:atomic:fail:" ) // misleading

The 1st search-term is misleading, because it includes (modifies)
subcategories, but then 2nd overrides it.  So don't do that.

v5:
. rename to DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES from DEFINE_DYNDBG_BITMAP
. in set_dyndbg, replace hardcoded "i915" w kp->mod->name
. static inline the stubs
. const *str in structs, const array. - Emil
. dyndbg: add do-nothing DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES if !DD_CORE
. call MOD_PARM_DESC(name, "$desc") for users
. simplify callback, remove bit-change detection
. config errs reported by <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

v6:
. return rc, bitmap->, snprintf, ws - Andy Shevchenko
. s/chgct/matches/ - old varname is misleading
. move code off file bottom to a "better" place
. change ##fsname to ##var for less generic varname (ie: not "debug")
. add KP_MOD_NAME workaround for !CONFIG_MODULES
. move forward decl down to where its needed

v7:
. use kp->arg, dont need kp->data or previous patch-1 - jbaron
. use client's ulong for bits, share state
. throw BUILD_BUG if DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES used wo support

v8:
. drop help field from dyndbg_bitdesc
. move ^ constraint from callback to helper macro: _DD_cat_
. add other helper macros
