The parse_args will delete space between boot parameters, so if we add dyndbg="file drivers/usb/* +p" at bootargs, the parse_args will split it as three parameters, and only "file" is for dyndbg, then below error will occur at ddebug, it causes all non-module ddebug fail during the boot process. =============================================================== dynamic_debug:ddebug_parse_flags: bad flag-op f, at start of file dynamic_debug:ddebug_exec_query: flags parse failed =============================================================== As a solution, we can use comma to split parameters for ddebug booting parameter, and replace comma with space at code, in that case, the ddebug core can handle it with the same way we do it for /sys.
