This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dyndbg: let query-modname override actual module name to the 4.19-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-let-query-modname-override-actual-module-name.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit f12a9481f3f4081f259e912f10f94bcd0b4a29d7 Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Sep 4 15:40:44 2022 -0600 dyndbg: let query-modname override actual module name [ Upstream commit e75ef56f74965f426dd819a41336b640ffdd8fbc ] dyndbg's control-parser: ddebug_parse_query(), requires that search terms: module, func, file, lineno, are used only once in a query; a thing cannot be named both foo and bar. The cited commit added an overriding module modname, taken from the module loader, which is authoritative. So it set query.module 1st, which disallowed its use in the query-string. But now, its useful to allow a module-load to enable classes across a whole (or part of) a subsystem at once. # enable (dynamic-debug in) drm only modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE +p" # get drm_helper too modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module drm* +p" # get everything that knows DRM_UT_CORE modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module * +p" # also for boot-args: drm.dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module * +p" So convert the override into a default, by filling it only when/after the query-string omitted the module. NB: the query class FOO handling is forthcoming.
