Jim Cromie b9400852c0 dyndbg: add drm.debug style (drm/parameters/debug) bitmap support
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
