I like the idea. To be honest I researched the dynamic debug for such level debugging facility but found it will be too complex to implement. I guess now when you catch me it will be better to add it in dyndbg ;) . >> >> From a long time ago: >> >> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/linux.kernel/VlWbno-ZAFw/k_fFadhNHXcJ > > Hey Jason. > > I believe there are 6 bits left in the unsigned int > use for the line number and flags in struct _ddebug > > Assuming the use of a mechanism like > > pr_debug_level(level, fmt, ...) > > would you be OK with something like this to enable a > level or bitmask test of dynamic debug logging output? > > where the output is controlled by something like > > echo 'file <filename> level <n> +p' > <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control I guess for bitmask it should be? echo 'file <> bitmask <0xn> +p' > $CONTROL > > to enable dynamic debug output only at level <n> or higher > or maybe match a bitmap of <n> > > (modulo all the rest of the code necessary to use it?) > --- > include/linux/dynamic_debug.h | 2 ++ > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/include/linux/dynamic_debug.h b/include/linux/dynamic_debug.h > index abcd5fde30eb..616dbb2b5921 100644 > --- a/include/linux/dynamic_debug.h > +++ b/include/linux/dynamic_debug.h > @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ struct _ddebug { > #define _DPRINTK_FLAGS_DEFAULT 0 > #endif > unsigned int flags:8; > + unsigned int level:5; > + unsigned int level_is_bitmask:1; > #ifdef CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL > union { > struct static_key_true dd_key_true; > > -- regards, Stan
