[PATCH v9-resend 00/54] fix CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y

resending to fix double-copies of a dozen patches.
added 2 squash-ins to address Ville's designated-initializer comment.

This fixes dynamic-debug support for DRM.debug, added via classmaps.
commit bb2ff6c27bc9 (drm: Disable dynamic debug as broken)

CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y was marked broken because drm.debug=val
was applied when drm.ko was modprobed; too early for the yet-to-load
drivers, which thus missed the enablement.  My testing with
/etc/modprobe.d/ entries and modprobes with dyndbg=$querycmd options
obscured this omission.

The fix is to replace invocations of DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP with
DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE for core, and DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE for drivers.
The distinction allows dyndbg to also handle the users properly.

DRM is the only current classmaps user, and is not actually using it,
so if you think DRM could benefit from zero-off-cost debugs based on
static-keys, please test.

There is also a no-DRM-involved selftest script:

CLASSMAPS FROM THE TOP

dynamic-debug classmap's primary goal was to bring zero-off-cost
debugs, via static-keys, to DRM.

drm.debug:

is ~5000 invocations of debug-macros across core, drivers, helpers;
each in 1 of 10 exclusive categories: DRM_UT_*, kept in an enum/int,
and passed in 1st macro-arg, as a builtin-constant.

The 10 categories are all controlled together, by bits 0..9 in a sysfs
knob.

  drm.debug=0x1ff  # bootarg
  echo 0x4 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug  # run-time setting

Keeping all that unchanged was a firm design requirement for classmaps.

Below the sysfs interface, classmaps are exposed in the >control
grammar with a new "class" keyword.  This is mostly like the other
selector keywords, differing by:

a- classnames are client/subsystem/domain defined, not code-name-structural.
   the classnames are global, across system
   IOW: "class DRM_UT_CORE" selects on any module which knows the class

b- classes are protected from unqualified modification.

   # cannot disable any DRM (or other) classes without saying so
   echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

c- because b, modules must opt-in so dyndbg knows their classnames.
   without names, dyndbg cannot lookup the classid & change the class.

d- classes don't have wildcards - add if needed.
   DRM uses "${SUBSYS}_${CATNAME}"
   probably more useful with "${TOP}_${MID}_${LOW}" classnames
   nobody's sure what _UT_ is.

API in use:

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_* macros are all file-scope declarators.

1. DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE(drm_debug_classes, ...);
2. DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE(drm_debug_classes);

Classmaps get DEFINEd once (in drm.ko for core) and USEd (in drivers
and helpers), these declarations 1. define and export a classmap (in
core module), and 2. refer to the exported class-struct from the other
modules.

They both tell dynamic-debug that the module has some of these class'd
pr_debugs, so dyndbg can use the classmap's names to validate >control
inputs and change the callsites.  This is the opt-in.

The distinction allows USErs to act differently than the DEFINEr; they
have to follow the ref back to the DEFINEing module, find the kparam
connected to the classmap, and lookup and apply its modprobed value.
(this is the bug-fix).

Dyndbg uses the classnames to validate "class FOO" >control inputs,
and apply the changes to each module that has DEFINEd or USEd the
classmap.

This makes classmaps opt-in: modules must _DEFINE or _USE a classmap
for their class'd pr_debug()s to be >control'd.

NOTE: __pr_dbg_class(1, "const-int unreachable class 1"); is legal,
but not controllable unless the const 1 has been mapped to a _DEFINE'd
classname.

NB: and __pr_dbg_class(i++, "undeclared class") is illegal.

In drm_print.c we have: (theres room for better words...)

/* classnames must match value-symbols of enum drm_debug_category */
DRM_CLASSMAP_DEFINE(drm_debug_classes, DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS,
                    DRM_UT_CORE, // _base
		    /* this effectively names the bits in drm.debug */
                    "DRM_UT_CORE",
                    "DRM_UT_DRIVER",
                    "DRM_UT_KMS",
                    "DRM_UT_PRIME",
                    "DRM_UT_ATOMIC",
                    "DRM_UT_VBL",
                    "DRM_UT_STATE",
                    "DRM_UT_LEASE",
                    "DRM_UT_DP",
                    "DRM_UT_DRMRES");

This maps the sequence of "classnames" to ints starting with DRM_UT_CORE.
other _bases allow sharing the per-module 0..62 class-id space.
(63 is default/unclassed/common prdbg).

Only complete, linear maps are recommended.  This suits DRM.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_PARAM_REF() creates the sysfs-kparam classbits knob,
binding the extern'd long-int/bitvec to the classmap.  The extern
insures that old users of __drm_debug can still check its value.

DRM's categories are independent of each other.  The other possible
classmap-type/behavior is "related", ie somehow "ordered": V3>V2.  The
relatedness of classes in a classmap is enforced at the kparam, where
they are all set together, not at the >control interface.

THE PATCHSET has 2 halves:

1- dynamic-debug fix - API change

The root cause was DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP tried to do too much, and
its use in both core and drivers, helpers couldnt sort the difference.

The fix is to replace it with DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE in core, and
DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE in drivers,helpers. The 1st differs from -v1 by
exporting the classmap, allowing 2nd to ref it.  They respectively add
records to 2 ELF sections in the module.

Now, dyndbg's on-modprobe handler follows the _USE/refs to the owning
module, finds the controlling kparam: drm.debug, and applies its value
thru the classmap, to the module's pr_debugs.

A selftest script is included:
  :#> ./tools/testing/selftests/dynamic_debug/dyndbg_selftest.sh

It recapitulates the DRM regression scenario using the 2 test modules.
The test verifies that the dependent module is initialized properly
from the parent's classmap kparam, and the classed prdbgs get enabled.

This latest rev fixes the test for the various CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG*
build combos, by skipping some subtests where the expected counts are
wrong. Lukasz Bartosik caught this - thanks.
CC: ukaszb at chromium.org

And 2 tweaks to kdoc & howto, to steer api users away from using
designated initializers to _DEFINE the classmap.


2- DRM fixes - use new api.

a. update core/drivers to invoke DRM_CLASSMAP_DEFINE/_USE
b. wrap DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_* with DRM_CLASSMAP_* - hide ifdef

c. now with separate +DRM_CLASSMAP_USE patches for each driver/helper: 
d. and defer dropping DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP til later

Maybe theres a single place to invoke DRM_CLASSMAP_USE just once,
perhaps from a client library c-file. I poked a little, didn't find it.
It would be a bit obscured for an opt-in style declaration.

Patches are against v6.10
theyre also at:
tree/branch: https://github.com/jimc/linux.git dd-fix-9d
and lkp-robot told me:
[jimc:dd-fix-9d] BUILD SUCCESS 7c38f1d94f9919fec887113b620b83d60061c035


Finally, classmaps are in a meta-stable state right now; some governor
might yet walk it over to the gravel pit out back.

Tested-bys would help greatly, help get it off the fence it straddles.
Please specify your test method: selftest or drm.debug=0x1ff boot.

Next Im gonna try to haul this over to the freedesktop DRM-CI river,
presuming I can find the way (accts,etc)

Also entertaining Reviewed-bys :-}
