Bring dynamic debug in line with other subsystems by using the module
notifier callbacks. This results in a net decrease in core module
code.
Additionally, Jim Cromie has a new dynamic debug classmap feature,
which requires that jump labels be initialized prior to dynamic debug.
Specifically, the new feature toggles a jump label from the existing
dynamic_debug_setup() function. However, this does not currently work
properly, because jump labels are initialized via the
'module_notify_list' notifier chain, which is invoked after the
current call to dynamic_debug_setup(). Thus, this patch ensures that
jump labels are initialized prior to dynamic debug by setting the
dynamic debug notifier priority to 0, while jump labels have the
higher priority of 1.
Tested by Jim using his new test case, and I've verfied the correct
printing via: # modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg.

Add kernel_param_ops and callbacks to use a class-map to validate and
apply input to a sysfs-node, which allows users to control classes
defined in that class-map. This supports uses like:
echo 0x3 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
IE add these:
- int param_set_dyndbg_classes()
- int param_get_dyndbg_classes()
- struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_dyndbg_classes
Following the model of kernel/params.c STANDARD_PARAM_DEFS, these are
non-static and exported. This might be unnecessary here.
get/set use an augmented kernel_param; the arg refs a new struct
ddebug_class_param, which contains:
- A ptr to user's state-store; a union of &ulong for drm.debug, &int
for nouveau level debug. By ref'g the client's bit-state _var, code
coordinates with existing code (like drm_debug_enabled) which uses
it, so existing/remaining calls can work unchanged. Changing
drm.debug to a ulong allows use of BIT() etc.
- FLAGS: dyndbg.flags toggled by changes to bitmap. Usually just "p".
- MAP: a pointer to struct ddebug_classes_map, which maps those
class-names to .class_ids 0..N that the module is using. This
class-map is declared & initialized by DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP.
- map-type: 4 enums DD_CLASS_TYPE_* select 2 input forms and 2 meanings.
numeric input:
DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS integer input, independent bits. ie: drm.debug
DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NUM integer input, 0..N levels
classnames-list (comma separated) input:
DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_NAMES each name affects a bit, others preserved
DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NAMES names have level meanings, like kern_levels.h
_NAMES - comma-separated classnames (with optional +-)
_NUM - numeric input, 0-N expected
_BITS - numeric input, 0x1F bitmap form expected
_DISJOINT - bits are independent
_LEVEL - (x<y) on bit-pos.
_DISJOINT treats input like a bit-vector (ala drm.debug), and sets
each bit accordingly. LEVEL is layered on top of this.
_LEVEL treats input like a bit-pos:N, then sets bits(0..N)=1, and
bits(N+1..max)=0. This applies (bit<N) semantics on top of disjoint
bits.
USAGES:
A potentially typical _DISJOINT_NAMES use:
echo +DRM_UT_CORE,+DRM_UT_KMS,-DRM_UT_DRIVER,-DRM_UT_ATOMIC \
> /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug_catnames
A naive _LEVEL_NAMES use, with one class, that sets all in the
class-map according to (x<y):
: problem seen
echo +L7 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
: problem solved
echo -L1 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
Note this artifact:
: this is same as prev cmd (due to +/-)
echo L0 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
: this is "even-more" off, but same wo __pr_debug_class(L0, "..").
echo -L0 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
A stress-test/make-work usage (kid toggling a light switch):
echo +L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7 \
> /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(): inside-fn, works on bitmaps, receives
new-bits, finds diffs vs client-bitvector holding "current" state,
and issues exec_query to commit the adjustment.
param_set_dyndbg_classes(): interface fn, sends _NAMES to
param_set_dyndbg_classnames() and returns, falls thru to handle _BITS,
_NUM internally, and calls ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(). Finishes by
updating state.
param_set_dyndbg_classnames(): handles classnames-list in loop, calls
ddebug_apply_class_bitmap for each, then updates state.
NOTES:
_LEVEL_ is overlay on _DISJOINT_; inputs are converted to a bitmask,
by the callbacks. IOW this is possible, and possibly confusing:
echo class V3 +p > control
echo class V1 -p > control
IMO thats ok, relative verbosity is an interface property.
_LEVEL_NUM maps still need class-names, even though the names are not
usable at the sysfs interface (unlike with _NAMES style). The names
are the only way to >control the classes.
- It must have a "V0" name,
something below "V1" to turn "V1" off.
__pr_debug_cls(V0,..) is printk, don't do that.
- "class names" is required at the >control interface.
- relative levels are not enforced at >control
_LEVEL_NAMES bear +/- signs, which alters the on-bit-pos by 1. IOW,
+L2 means L0,L1,L2, and -L2 means just L0,L1. This kinda spoils the
readback fidelity, since the L0 bit gets turned on by any use of any
L*, except "-L0".
All the interface uncertainty here pertains to the _NAMES features.
Nobody has actually asked for this, so its practical (if a little
tedious) to split it out.

Add module-to-class validation:
#> echo class DRM_UT_KMS +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
If a query has "class FOO", then ddebug_find_valid_class(), called
from ddebug_change(), requires that FOO is known to module X,
otherwize the query is skipped entirely for X. This protects each
module's class-space, other than the default:31.
The authors' choice of FOO is highly selective, giving isolation
and/or coordinated sharing of FOOs. For example, only DRM modules
should know and respond to DRM_UT_KMS.
So this, combined with module's opt-in declaration of known classes,
effectively privatizes the .class_id space for each module (or
coordinated set of modules).
Notes:
For all "class FOO" queries, ddebug_find_valid_class() is called, it
returns the map matching the query, and sets valid_class via an
*outvar).
If no "class FOO" is supplied, valid_class = _CLASS_DFLT. This
insures that legacy queries do not trample on new class'd callsites,
as they get added.
Also add a new column to control-file output, displaying non-default
class-name (when found) or the "unknown _id:", if it has not been
(correctly) declared with one of the declarator macros.

Add ddebug_attach_module_classes(), call it from ddebug_add_module().
It scans the classes/section its given, finds records where the
module-name matches the module being added, and adds them to the
module's maps list. No locking here, since the record
isn't yet linked into the ddebug_tables list.
It is called indirectly from 2 sources:
- from load_module(), where it scans the module's __dyndbg_classes
section, which contains DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSES definitions from just
the module.
- from dynamic_debug_init(), where all DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSES
definitions of each builtin module have been packed together.
This is why ddebug_attach_module_classes() checks module-name.
NOTES
Its (highly) likely that builtin classes will be ordered by module
name (just like prdbg descriptors are in the __dyndbg section). So
the list can be replaced by a vector (ptr + length), which will work
for loaded modules too. This would imitate whats currently done for
the _ddebug descriptors.
That said, converting to vector,len is close to pointless; a small
minority of modules will ever define a class-map, and almost all of
them will have only 1 or 2 class-maps, so theres only a couple dozen
pointers to save. TODO: re-evaluate for lines removable.

This new struct composes the linker provided (vector,len) section,
and provides a place to add other __dyndbg[] state-data later:
descs - the vector of descriptors in __dyndbg section.
num_descs - length of the data/section.
Use it, in several different ways, as follows:
In lib/dynamic_debug.c:
ddebug_add_module(): Alter params-list, replacing 2 args (array,index)
with a struct _ddebug_info * containing them both, with room for
expansion. This helps future-proof the function prototype against the
looming addition of class-map info into the dyndbg-state, by providing
a place to add more member fields later.
NB: later add static struct _ddebug_info builtins_state declaration,
not needed yet.
ddebug_add_module() is called in 2 contexts:
In dynamic_debug_init(), declare, init a struct _ddebug_info di
auto-var to use as a cursor. Then iterate over the prdbg blocks of
the builtin modules, and update the di cursor before calling
_add_module for each.
Its called from kernel/module/main.c:load_info() for each loaded
module:
In internal.h, alter struct load_info, replacing the dyndbg array,len
fields with an embedded _ddebug_info containing them both; and
populate its members in find_module_sections().
The 2 calling contexts differ in that _init deals with contiguous
subranges of __dyndbgs[] section, packed together, while loadable
modules are added one at a time.
So rename ddebug_add_module() into outer/__inner fns, call __inner
from _init, and provide the offset into the builtin __dyndbgs[] where
the module's prdbgs reside. The cursor provides start, len of the
subrange for each. The offset will be used later to pack the results
of builtin __dyndbg_sites[] de-duplication, and is 0 and unneeded for
loadable modules,
Note:
kernel/module/main.c includes <dynamic_debug.h> for struct
_ddeubg_info. This might be prone to include loops, since its also
included by printk.h. Nothing has broken in robot-land on this.

This exported fn is unused, and will not be needed. Lets dump it.
The export was added to let drm control pr_debugs, as part of using
them to avoid drm_debug_enabled overheads. But its better to just
implement the drm.debug bitmap interface, then its available for
everyone.

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.

Walk the module's vector of callsites backwards; ie N..0. This
"corrects" the backwards appearance of a module's prdbg vector when
walked 0..N. I think this is due to linker mechanics, which I'm
inclined to treat as immutable, and the order is fixable in display.

Vincent's patch commented on, and worked around, a bug toggling
static_branch's, when a 2nd PRINTK-ish flag was added. The bug
results in a premature static_branch_disable when the 1st of 2 flags
was disabled.
The cited commit computed newflags, but then in the JUMP_LABEL block,
failed to use that result, instead using just one of the terms in it.
Using newflags instead made the code work properly.
This is Vincents test-case, reduced. It needs the 2nd flag to
demonstrate the bug, but it's explanatory here.

1- module level activity: add/remove, etc
2- command ingest, splitting, summary of effects.

3- command parsing: op, flags, search terms
4- per-site change msg

Summarize these 4 levels in MODULE_PARM_DESC, and update verbose=3 in Doc.
2- is new, to isolate a problem where a stress-test script (which
feeds ~4kb multi-command strings) would produce short writes,
truncating last command and causing parsing errors, which confused
test results. The script fix was to use syswrite, to deliver full
proper commands.
4- gets per-callsite "changed:" pr-infos, which are very noisy during
stress tests, and formerly obscured v1-3 messages, and overwhelmed the
static-key workload being tested.
The verbose parameter has previously seen adjustment:
commit 481c0e33f1 ("dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty")
The script driving these adjustments is:
!/usr/bin/perl -w
=for Doc
1st purpose was to benchmark the effect of wildcard queries on query
performance; if wildcards are risk free cheap enough, we can deploy
them in the (floating) format search. 1st finding: wildcards take 2x
as long to process.
2nd purpose was to benchmark real static-key changes VS simple flag
changes. Found ~100x decrease for the hard work.
The script maximizes workload per >control by packing it a ~4kb
string of "+p; -p;" commands; this uncovered some broken stuff.
The 85th query failed, and appears to be truncated, so is gramatically
incorrect. Its either an error here, or in the kernel. Its not
happening atm, retest.
Plot thickens: fail only happens doing +-p, not +-mf, likely load
dependent. Error remains consistent. Looks like a short write,
longer on writer than kernel-reader. Try syswrite on handle to
control this. That fixed short write.

Right now dyndbg shows up as an unknown parameter if used on boot:
Unknown command line parameters: dyndbg=+p
That's because it is unknown, it doesn't sit in the __param
section, so the processing done to warn users supplying an unknown
parameter doesn't think it is legitimate.
Install a dummy handler to register it. dynamic debug needs to search
the whole command line for modules listed that are currently builtin,
so there's no real work to be done in this callback.

Query like 'file tcp_input.c line 1234 +p' was broken by
commit aaebe329bf ("dyndbg: accept 'file foo.c:func1' and 'file
foo.c:10-100'") because a file name without a ':' now makes the loop in
ddebug_parse_query() exits early before parsing the 'line 1234' part.
As a result, all pr_debug() in tcp_input.c will be enabled, instead of only
the one on line 1234. Changing 'break' to 'continue' fixes this.

- func name follows internal convention, shouldn't be exposed as is.
1st is fixed in header with ifdefd function prototype or stub defn.
Also remove an obsolete HAVE-symbol ifdef-comment, and add others.
Fix others by wrapping existing internal function with a new one,
named in accordance with module-prefix naming convention, before
export hits v5.9.0. In new function, copy query string to a local
buffer, so users can pass hard-coded/RO queries, and internal function
can be used unchanged.

Export ddebug_exec_queries() for use by modules.
This will allow module authors to control all their *pr_debug*s
dynamically. And since ddebug_exec_queries() is what implements
"echo $query >control", it gives the same per-callsite control.
Virtues of this:
- simplicity. just an export.
- full control over any/all subsets of callsites.
- same "query/command-string" in code and console
- full callsite selectivity with module file line format
Format in particular deserves special attention; it is where
low-hanging fruit will be found.
Consider: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/include/logger_types.h:
#define DC_LOG_SURFACE(...) pr_debug("[SURFACE]:"__VA_ARGS__)
#define DC_LOG_HW_LINK_TRAINING(...) pr_debug("[HW_LINK_TRAINING]:"__VA_ARGS__)
.. 9 more ..
Thats 11 string prefixes, used in 804 places in drivers/gpu/**
Clearly this is a systematized classification of those callsites.
And one I'd expect to see repeated often.
Using ddebug_exec_queries(), authors can select on those prefixes
as a unitary set, equivalent to:
echo "module=MODULE_NAME format=^[SURFACE]: +p" >control
Trivially, those sets can be subsected with the other query terms too,
say file=foo, should the author see fit.
Perhaps as important, users can modify the set of enabled callsites,
presumably to aid debugging by enabling helpful debug callsites, and
disabling those that just clutter the info.
Authors could even alter [fmlt] flags, though I dont see a good reason
why they would. Perhaps harnessed by bug-logging automation to get
fuller, or more minimal bug-reports.
DRM
drm has both drm.debug, which defines 32 categories of drm_printk
logging, and entirely separate uses of pr_debug, which are dynamic on
this i915 laptop, running mainline. So I can observe and report on
both.
The i915 driver has 118 dyndbg callsites, with following
"classifications" defined in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/**
$ grep 915 /proc/dynamic_debug/control | cut -d= -f2 | cut -d: -f1,2 | sort -u
_ "gvt: cmd
_ "gvt: core
_ "gvt: dpy
_ "gvt: el
_ "gvt: irq
_ "gvt: mm
_ "gvt: mmio
_ "gvt: render
_ "gvt: sched
_ "%s for root hub!\012"
_ "Vendor defined info completion code %u\012"
This classification is entirely out-of-band for control by drm.debug,
and is only available to root user at the console. But module authors
can activate them with ddebug_exec_queries(sprintf("format=^%s +p")),
and then decide how to expose the groups to the user for max utility.
drm.debug
drm.debug has 32 bit-flags, and matching enum drm_debug_category
values to classify the ~2943 DRM_DEBUG*() callsites in drivers/gpu
The drm.debug callback could invoke ddebug_exec_queries() with 32
different hardcoded query strings, needing only (bit) ? " +p" : " -p"
added.
I briefly enabled drm.debug=0xff on my i915 laptop, which yielded
these unique prefixes: (dmesg | cut -c17- | cut -d\] -f1 | sort -u)

i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm:skl_enable_dc6 [i915
Several good format=^prefixes are apparent there, and some misses.
^[drm:drm_atomic_ # misses: [drm:__drm_atomic_state_free [drm
^[drm:drm_ioctl
^[drm:drm_mode
^[drm:drm_vblank_ # misses: [drm:drm_update_vblank_count & [drm:vblank_disable_fn
Its not a perfect 1:1 single format-match per class, but the misses
above can be covered with 1 & 2 additional queries, which can be
concatenated together with ";" separators and submitted with 1 call.
Benefits:
For drm, adapting DRM_DEBUG to use dynamic-debug inside could
replicate (and thereby obsolete) lots of bit-checking in current
DRM_DEBUG callsites, at least with JUMP_LABEL optimized code.
ddebug_exec_queries() and a handful of fixed query-strings can select
and thereby control the already classified callsites.
With the classes mapped to queries, the enum type and parameter can be
eliminated (folded away with macro magic), at least for DYNAMIC_DEBUG
& JUMP_LABEL builds.
Is it safe ?
ddebug_exec_queries() is currently exposed to user space in
several limited ways;
1 it is called from module-load callback, where it implements the
$modname.dyndbg=+p "fake" parameter provided to all modules.
2 it handles query input via >control directly
IOW, it is "fully" exposed to local root user; exposing the same
functionality to other kernel modules is no additional risk.
The other standard issue to check is locking:
dyndbg has a single mutex, taken by ddebug_change to handle >control,
and by ddebug_proc_(start|stop) to span `cat control`. Queries
submitted via export will typically have module specified, which
dramatically cuts the scan by ddebug_change vs "module=* +p".
ISTM this proposed export presents no locking problems.
TLDR;
It would be interesting to see how drm.dyndbg=$QUERY and
drm.debug=$HEXY would interact; it might be order dependent, as
if given as modprobe args or in /etc/modprobe.d/

This should work:
echo module=amd* format=^[IF_TRACE]: +p >/proc/dynamic_debug/control
consider drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/include/logger_types.h:
It has 11 defines like:
#define DC_LOG_IF_TRACE(...) pr_debug("[IF_TRACE]:"__VA_ARGS__)
These defines are used 804 times at recent count; they are a good use
case to evaluate existing format-message based classifications of
*pr_debug*. Those macros prefix the supplied format with a fixed
string, I'd expect most existing message classification schemes to do
something similar.
Hence we want to be able to anchor our match to the beginning of the
format string, allowing easy construction of clear and precise
queries, leveraging the existing classification scheme to enable and
disable those callsites.
Note that unlike other search terms, formats are implicitly floating
substring matches, without the need for explicit wildcards.
This makes no attempt at wider regex features, just the one we need.
TLDR: Using the anchor also means the []s are less helpful for
disamiguating the prefix from a random in-message occurrence, allowing
shorter prefixes.

Use struct flag_settings to rework 3 functions:
- ddebug_exec_query - declares query and flag-settings,
calls other 2, passing flags
- ddebug_parse_flags - fills flag_settings and returns
- ddebug_change - test all callsites against query,
modify passing sites.

- bit-banging always needs flags & mask, best together.

Also simplify ddebug_describe_flags() flags parameter from a struct to

during dyndbg init, verbose logging prints its ram overhead. It
counted strlens of struct _ddebug's 4 string members, in all callsite
entries, which would be approximately correct if each had been
mallocd. But they are pointers into shared .rodata; for example, all
10 kobject callsites have identical filename, module values.
Its best not to count that memory at all, since we cannot know they
were linked in because of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, and we want to
report a number that reflects what ram is saved by deconfiguring it.
Also fix wording and size under-reporting of the __dyndbg section.

The verbose/debug logging done for `cat $MNT/dynamic_debug/control` is
voluminous (2 per control file entry + 2 per PAGE). Moreover, it just
prints pointer and sequence, which is not useful to a dyndbg user.
So just drop them.
Also require verbose>=2 for several other debug printks that are a bit
too chatty for typical needs;
ddebug_change() prints changes, once per modified callsite. Since
queries like "+p" will enable ~2300 callsites in a typical laptop, a
user probably doesn't need to see them often. ddebug_exec_queries()
still summarizes with verbose=1.
ddebug_(add|remove)_module() also print 1 line per action on a module,
not needed by typical modprobe user.

commit 4bad78c550 ("lib/dynamic_debug.c: use seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()")'
