[PATCH 0/4] dyndbg: POC use dynamic_debug_exec_queries in DRM

[Jim Cromie]

This patchset tests/demonstrates using dynamic_debug_exec_queries() to
alter 2 drivers' pr_debugs without a user directly using >control.

For drm.core, I copied drm.debug module parameter model, adding
drm.debug2 as a POC user interface to control 2 pr_debug additions to
drm_printk:drm_dbg,dev_dbg, allowing both category and >control to
work in parallel.  This patch makes no attempt to integrate drm's
category mechanism with the "format=^class" callsite selection; thats
the "theory", but it needs testing.

For i915/gvt, I repeated the pattern.  I focussed on gvt only, because
it had the most compelling use of format strings as pr_debug classes;
~120 pr_debugs in 9 classes.  These are mapped onto bits of the param.

bash-5.0# echo 0x0 > /sys/module/i915/parameters/debug_dyn 
[ 3137.044185] set_dyndbg: result:0x0 from 0x0
[ 3137.044185] 
[ 3137.047370] dyndbg: query 0: "format='^gvt: cmd: ' -p"
[ 3137.050302] dyndbg: entry, buf:'format='^gvt: cmd: ' -p'
[ 3137.053331] dyndbg: start-of-word:0 'format='^gvt: cmd: ' -p'

These patches were the test/use case for-59 fixes:
