hi Greg, Jason, DRM-folk,

This patchset fixes the CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y regression,
Fixes: bb2ff6c27bc9 ("drm: Disable dynamic debug as broken")

this is v8.
Its also here:
https://github.com/jimc/linux/tree/dd-classmap-fix-8a

v7 had at least 2 problems:

 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231101002609.3533731-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com/
 https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/125066/

1. missing __align(8) in METATDATA macro, giving too much placement
freedom to linker, caused weird segvs following non-ptr vals, but for
builtin modules only. found by lkp-test.

2. the main patch changed both the dyndbg API, and the drm/drivers.
This was a flag-day annoyance, and not practical.  Fix by preserving
old API macro until "later", and splitting the patch and set into 2
sequential subsets.  removal can wait.
 
What was broken ?

Booting a modular kernel with drm.debug=0x1ff, this enabled pr_debugs
only in drm itself, not the yet-to-be loaded driver + helpers.  I had
tested with scripts doing lots of modprobes with dyndbg=<> options
permuting.  I didn't notice that I didn't really test without them.

The deeper cause was my design error, a violation of the K&R rule:
"define once, refer many times".

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP defined the classmap, and was used everywhere,
re-declaring the same static classmap repeatedly. Jani Nikula actually
picked up on this at the time, but didn't scream loudly enough for
anyone to notice, I know I didn't get it then.  One patchset across 2
trees didn't help either.

The revised classmap API "splits" it to def & ref.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE fixes & updates the busted macro, EXPORTing the
classmap instead.  It gets invoked once per subsystem, by the
parent/builtin, drm.ko for DRM.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE in drivers and helpers refer to the classmap by
name, which links the 2 modules (like __drm_debug already does).

These 2 tell dyndbg to map "class FOO" to the defined FOO_ID, which
allows it to make those changes via >control.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_PARAM*, defines the controlling kparam, and binds it
to both the _var, and the _DEFINEd classmap.  So drm uses this to bind
the classmap to __drm_debug.

It provides the common control-point for the sub-system; it is applied
to the classmaps during modprobe of both _DEFINEr and USErs.  It also
enforces the relative nature of LEVEL classmaps, ie V3>V2.

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP is preserved to decouple the DRM patches.

A new struct and elf section contain the _USEs; on modprobe, these are
scanned similarly to the _DEFINEs, but follow the references to their
defining modules, find the kparam wired to the classmap, and apply its
classmap settings to the USEr.  This action is what V1 missed, which
is why drivers failed to enable debug during modprobe.

In order to recapitulate the regression scenario without involving
DRM, the patchset (v6 I think) adds test_dynamic_debug_submod, which
is a duplicate of its parent; _submod.c #defines _SUBMOD, and then
includes parent.

This puts _DEFINE and _USE close together in the same file, for
obviousness.  It also guarantees that the submod always has the same
complement of debug()s, giving consistent output from both when
classmaps are working properly, as tested when changing callsites via
both param and >control.

To provide a turn-key selftest, the patchset also adds
./tools/testing/selftests/dynamic_debug/dyndbg_selftest.sh, pilfered
from a debug-to-trace patchset I and Lukasz Bartozik have been working
out.  It starts with basic_tests, then to test 2 new parsing
delimiters, which simplify testing of the classmap functionality.

It works nicely from virtme-ng:

I've been running the kernel on my x86 desktop & laptop, booting with
drm.debug=0x1f, then turning it all-off after sleep 15.

a few highlights from a bare-metal boot:

here modprobe amdgpu; dyndbg applies last bit/class/category, and finishes init,
then drm and amdgpu start logging as they execute

a startup script, after sleep 15, turns off the logging:

The resulting journal is ~14.6k lines, written in the 1st 15 (29)
seconds of startup.  I'm unsure what the 15/29 discrepancy might
indicate/betray, besides a lot of logging work.  sleep 15 is not the
best stopwatch.

recent spins thru lkp-test have also been SUCCESS-ful.
