hi Greg, Jason, DRM-folk, Steven, If Im not too late for linux-next in this cycle, heres V6. Diffs are minor: - rebased onto e47eb90a0a9a (tag: next-20220901, linux-next/master) gets past Kconfig conflict, same for drm-tip. - uint debug_level, not ulong. to fit nouveau. - -1 on param-read-back, to match prev write val. - added back tracefs parts, missing from -V5 updated for tracing/events: Add __vstring() and __assign_vstr() helper macros no decorations-lite in TP_printk, do it right later. - commit-msg tweaks Theres also new RFC stuff with the potential to reduce the size of the __dyndbgs section by 20%. Not ready for prime time, or linux-next, but I hope compelling. FEATURE DESCRIPTION dyndbg provides DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP() which allows module authors to declare "good" class-names, of 4 types. DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP(drm_debug_classes, DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS, offset, "DRM_UT_CORE", "DRM_UT_DRIVER", "DRM_UT_KMS", "DRM_UT_PRIME", "DRM_UT_ATOMIC", "DRM_UT_VBL", "DRM_UT_STATE", "DRM_UT_LEASE", "DRM_UT_DP", "DRM_UT_DRMRES"); That usage authorizes dyndbg to set class'd pr_debugs accordingly: echo class DRM_UT_CORE +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control echo class DRM_UT_KMS +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control Because the DRM modules declare the same classes, they each authorize dyndbg with the same classnames, which allows dyndbg to effect changes to its selected class'd prdbgs. Opting in by using the macro effectively privatizes the limited 63-classes available per module; only modules which share classnames must coordinate their use of the common range, and they can independently use the remaining id-space. Other dyndbg filtering pertains too, so single sites can be selected. 4 DD_CLASS_TYPE_*_*s determine 2 behaviors: DISJOINT bits are independent, like drm.debug categories LEVELs 3>2, turns on level-2, like nouveau debug-levels NUM/BITS numeric input, bitmap if disjoint, else 0-32. NAMES accept proper names, like DRM_UT_CORE Dyndbg provides param-callbacks which enforce those behaviors: # DISJOINT_BITS echo 0x03 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug # LEVEL_NUM echo 3 > /sys/module/drm/nouveau/debug-mumble* # DISJOINT_NAMES echo +DRM_UT_CORE,+DRM_UT_KMS,-DRM_UT_DRIVER > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug_categories # LEVEL_NAMES echo NV_TRACE > /sys/module/nouveau/parameters/debug-mumble* That design choice is allowed cuz verbosity is always attached to a (user visible) interface, and theres no reason not to put the implementation there (in the callback). It also considerably simplifies things; ddebug_change can treat class_id's as disjoint, period.
