[PATCH v7 1/8] dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES and callbacks

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(name, var, bitmap_desc, @bit_descs)
allows users to define a drm.debug style (bitmap) sysfs interface, and
to specify the desired mapping from bits[0-N] to the format-prefix'd
pr_debug()s to be controlled.

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(debug_gvt, __gvt_debug,
	"i915/gvt bitmap desc",
	/**
	 * search-prefixes, passed to dd-exec_queries
	 * defines bits 0-N in order.
	 * leading ^ is tacitly inserted (by callback currently)
	 * trailing space used here excludes subcats.
	 * helper macro needs more work
	 * macro to autogen ++$i, 0x%x$i ?
	 */
	_DD_cat_("gvt:cmd: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:core: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:dpy: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:el: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:irq: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:mm: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:mmio: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:render: "),
	_DD_cat_("gvt:sched: "));

dynamic_debug.c: add 2 new elements:

 - int param_set_dyndbg()
 - int param_get_dyndbg()
 - struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_dyndbg

Following the model of kernel/params.c STANDARD_PARAM_DEFS, these are
non-static and exported.

get/set use an augmented kernel_param; the arg refs a new struct
dyndbg_bitmap_param containing:

- the map (array, indexed by bitpos) of format-prefix strings, which
  define the set/category of prdbgs to be changed per each bit.

- pointer to the user's ulong holding the bits/state.
  by sharing state, we coordinate with code that still uses it directly

This will allow drm-debug to be converted incrementally, while still
using __drm_debug & drm_debug_enabled() in other parts.

param_set_dyndbg() compares new vs old bits, and only updates prdbgs
on changes.  This maximally preserves the underlying state, which may
have been customized via later `echo $cmd >control`.  So if a user
really wants to know that all prdbgs are set precisely, they must
pre-clear then set.

TLDR: this also doesn't affect the decorator flags "mflt" set per prdbg.

dynamic_debug.h:

Add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES() described above, and a stub
throwing a BUILD_BUG (RFC) when used without DYNAMIC_DEBUG support.
Add structs dyndbg_bitdesc, dyndbg_bitmap_param to support the macro.

Note that it also calls MODULE_PARM_DESC for the user, but expects the
user to catenate all the bit-descriptions together (as is done in
drm.debug), and in the following uses in amdgpu, i915.

The intent is to regenerate this output from per-bit help given in
VA_ARGS, including a bit_label(); but this can wait.

Also externs the struct kernel_param param_ops_dyndbg symbol, as is
done in moduleparams.h for all the STANDARD params.

USAGE NOTES:

Using dyndbg to query on "format ^$prefix" requires that the prefix be
present in the compiled-in format string; where run-time prefixing is
used, that format would be "%s...", which is not usefully selectable.

Using DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES wo support gets a BUILD_BUG.
ISTM there is already action at a declarative distance, nobody needs
mystery as to why the /sysfs thingy didn't appear.

Dyndbg is completely agnostic wrt the categorization scheme used, in
order to play well with any prefix convention already in use in the
codebase.  Ad-hoc categories and sub-categories are implicitly
allowed, author discipline and review is expected.

Here are some examples:

"1","2","3"		2 doesn't imply 1.
   			otherwize, sorta like printk levels
"1:","2:","3:"		are better, avoiding [1-9]\d+ ambiguity
"hi:","mid:","low:"	are reasonable, and imply independence
"todo:","rfc:","fixme:" might be handy
"A:".."Z:"		uhm, yeah

Hierarchical classes/categories are natural:

"drm:<CAT>:"		is used in a later commit
"drm:<CAT>:<SUB>:"	is a natural extension.
"drm:atomic:fail:"	has been proposed, sounds directly useful

NB: in a real sense we abandon enum strictures here, and lose some
compiler help, on spelling errs for example.  Obviously "drm:" != "DRM:".

Some properties of a hierarchical category deserve explication:

Trailing spaces matter !

With 1..3-space ("drm: ", "drm:atomic: ", "drm:atomic:fail: "), the
":" doesn't terminate the search-space, the trailing space does.  So a
"drm:" search spec will match all DRM categories & subcategories, and
will not be useful in an interface where all categories are already
controlled together.  That said, "drm:atomic:" & "drm:atomic: " are
different, and both are useful in cases.

Ad-Hoc sub-categories:

These have a caveat wrt wrapper macros adding prefixes like
"drm:atomic: "; the trailing space in the prefix means that
drm_dbg_atomic("fail: ...") pastes as "drm:atomic: fail: ", which
obviously isn't ideal wrt clear and simple bitmaps.

A possible solution is to have a FOO_() version of every FOO() macro
which (anti-mnemonically) elides the trailing space, which is normally
inserted by a newer FOO().

IE: drm_dbg_atomic_("fail: ..."); // trailing _ means ad-hoc subcat

Summarizing:

 - "drm:kms: " & "drm:kms:" are different
 - "drm:kms"		also different - includes drm:kms2:
 - "drm:kms:\t"		also different - could be troublesome
 - "drm:kms:*"		doesn't work, no wildcard on format atm.

Order matters in DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(... @bit_descs)

@bit_descs (array) position determines the bit mapping to the prefix,
so to keep a stable map, new categories or 3rd level categories must
be added to the end.

Since bits are/will-stay applied 0-N, the later bits can countermand
the earlier ones, but it's tricky - consider;

    DD_CATs(... "drm:atomic:", "drm:atomic:fail:" ) // misleading

The 1st search-term is misleading, because it includes (modifies)
subcategories, but then 2nd overrides it.  So don't do that.

v5:
. rename to DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES from DEFINE_DYNDBG_BITMAP
. in set_dyndbg, replace hardcoded "i915" w kp->mod->name
. static inline the stubs
. const *str in structs, const array. - Emil
. dyndbg: add do-nothing DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES if !DD_CORE
. call MOD_PARM_DESC(name, "$desc") for users
. simplify callback, remove bit-change detection
. config errs reported by <lkp at intel.com>

v6:
. return rc, bitmap->, snprintf, ws - Andy Shevchenko
. s/chgct/matches/ - old varname is misleading
. move code off file bottom to a "better" place
. change ##fsname to ##var for less generic varname (ie: not "debug")
. add KP_MOD_NAME workaround for !CONFIG_MODULES
. move forward decl down to where its needed

v7:
. use kp->arg, dont need kp->data or previous patch-1 - jbaron
. use client's ulong for bits, share state
. throw BUILD_BUG if DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES used wo support
