This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dyndbg: fix module.dyndbg handling to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dyndbg-fix-module.dyndbg-handling.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6bf2cf85b515bed8e5645a862399b950d0e0e93d Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 4 15:40:39 2022 -0600 dyndbg: fix module.dyndbg handling [ Upstream commit 85d6b66d31c35158364058ee98fb69ab5bb6a6b1 ] For CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=N, the ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb() stub-fn is too permissive: bash-5.1# modprobe drm JUNKdyndbg bash-5.1# modprobe drm dyndbgJUNK [ 42.933220] dyndbg param is supported only in CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds [ 42.937484] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered This caused no ill effects, because unknown parameters are either ignored by default with an "unknown parameter" warning, or ignored because dyndbg allows its no-effect use on non-dyndbg builds. But since the code has an explicit feedback message, it should be issued accurately. Fix with strcmp for exact param-name match.
