[PATCH v5 3/9] 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 3 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, All 3 are
non-static and exported.

dynamic_debug.h:

Add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES() described above, and a do-nothing stub.

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.

This in the hope that someone can offer an auto-incrementing
label-generating macro, producing "\tbit-4 0x10\t" etc, and can show
how to apply it to __VA_ARGS__.

Also extern 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.

Adding structural query terms (func,file,lineno) could help (module is
already done), but DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES can't do that now,
adding it needs a better reason imo.

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

Here are some examples:

"1","2","3"		2 doesnt 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:"		might be handy
"A:".."Z:"		uhm, yeah

Hierarchical classes/categories are natural:

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

Some properties of a hierarchical category deserve explication:

Trailing spaces matter !

With 1..3-space ("drm: ", "drm:atomic: ", "drm:atomic:fail: "), the
":" doesnt terminate the search-space, the trailing space does.
So a "drm:" search specification will match all DRM categories &
subcategories, and will not be useful in an interface where all
categories are 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("fail: ...") renders 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 modified FOO().  Doing this would enforce a policy
decision that "debug categories will be space terminated", with an
pressure-relief valve.

Summarizing:

 - "drm:kms: " & "drm:kms:" are different
 - "drm:kms"		also different - includes drm:kms2:
 - "drm:kms:\t"		also different
 - "drm:kms:*"		doesnt 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 its 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.

There is still plenty of bikeshedding to do.

v4+:

. rename to DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES from DEFINE_DYNDBG_BITMAP
. in query, 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>
