I realize we haven't actually addressed the regression in any way yet,
and any distro enabling DYNAMIC_DEBUG || DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will have
DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y by default, and we're hitting the issue with
trying to gather logs from users on v6.1 or later. It hampers debugging
pretty badly.
I appreciate the effort in fixing the problem properly here, but we'll
need a fix that we can backport to stable kernels.
Maybe just Ville's idea of
config DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
bool "use dynamic debug to implement drm.debug"
- default y
+ default n
+ depends on BROKEN
depends on DRM
depends on DYNAMIC_DEBUG || DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
but we'll need that as a patch and merged and backported ASAP.
In the mean time, is there a workaround that the user could enable, say,
on the kernel command line, to enable drm debugs on driver kernel
modules, all the way from boot?
BR,
Jani.
