[PATCH v8 08/16] dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES bitmap and callbacks

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(fsname, var, bitmap_desc, @bit_descs)
allows users to create a drm.debug style (bitmap) sysfs interface,
mapping each bit to a pr_debug "category".
Unlike drm, dyndbg has no coding of "category", but it can select a
set of pr_debugs with a substr match on their formats. Since many
pr_debugs use a system of format prefixes, dyndbg can en/disable those
existing groupings as sets/categories.
the new macro's categories are used like so:
echo format '^$category ' +/-p >control
DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES(debug_gvt, __gvt_debug,
"i915/gvt bitmap desc",
/*
* map each bit to a category
* helper macro adds ^ prefix and ' ' suffix seen above
*/
_DD_cat_(0, "gvt:cmd:"),
_DD_cat_(1, "gvt:core:"),
_DD_cat_(2, "gvt:dpy:"),
_DD_cat_(3, "gvt:el:"),
_DD_cat_(4, "gvt:irq:"),
_DD_cat_(5, "gvt:mm:"),
_DD_cat_(6, "gvt:mmio:"),
_DD_cat_(7, "gvt:render:"),
_DD_cat_(8, "gvt:sched:"));
- 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:
A- the map (array, indexed by bitpos) of "categories" (strings to find
in prdbg.formats). These define the set/category of callsites per bit.
B- a pointer to the user's ulong holding the bits/state.
by sharing state, we coordinate with code that still uses it directly
B allows drm-debug api 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 $cmd >control`. So if a user
really wants to know that all prdbgs are set precisely, they must
pre-clear then set.
dynamic_debug.h:
Add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES() described above, and a stub
throwing a BUILD_BUG (RFC) when used without DYNAMIC_DEBUG support.
Add structs dyndbg_bitdesc, dyndbg_bitmap_param to support the main
macro, and several helper macros wrapping the given categories with
^prefix and ' ' suffix. This way the callback can be more broadly
used, by using the right helper macro.
Also externs the struct kernel_param param_ops_dyndbg symbol, as is
done in moduleparams.h for all the STANDARD params.
USAGE NOTES:
Using dyndbg to query on "format ^$prefix" requires that $prefix must be
present in the compiled-in format string. Searching on "%s" does not
define a useful set of callsites.
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.
In fact, the ^anchor is not required; "format $floating_substr" is the
default meaning. The _DD_cat_() helper macro adds the ^anchor, and a
trailing space (see below for why).
Here are some examples: (these all need ^anchor to be practical)
"^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:" 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
High density "punctuation" tld classification is possible:
"^.","^:","^!","^#","^@", etc.
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 categories & sub-categories:
Ad-hoc categories are those format-prefixes already in use; both
amdgpu and i915 have numerous (120,~1800) pr_debugs, most of these use
a system, a small set (9,13) of prefixes, to categorize the output.
Dyndbg already works on these, this patch just adds a bitmap knob.
ad-hoc sub-categories are slightly trickier.
If drm_dbg_atomic("fail: ...") is a macro:
pr_debug("drm:atomic:" " " format,...) // cpp-paste in a trailing space
We get "drm:atomic: fail:", with that undesirable embedded space;
obviously not ideal wrt clear and simple prefixes.
a fix: drm_dbg_atomic_("fail: ..."); // trailing _ for 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)
Since bits are/will-stay applied 0-N, the later bits can countermand
the earlier ones, but it is 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
v8:
. drop help field from dyndbg_bitdesc
. move ^ constraint from callback to helper macro: _DD_cat_
. add other helper macros
