[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 00/12] use dynamic-debug under drm.debug api

drm.debug api provides ~23 macros to issue 10 categories of debug
messages, each enabled by a bit in /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug.
drm_debug_enabled(category) tests these bits at runtime; while cheap
individually, the costs accumulate.
For CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, this patchset obsoletes those
runtime tests (inside drm_*dbg) by wrapping the 2 fns in one of the
dynamic_func_call* Factory macros. The config dependence is due to
the .data footprint cost of the tables; AMDGPU has ~4k callsites, at
56 bytes each.
This creates entries in /proc/dynamic_debug/control for each callsite,
and each has .class_id = macros'-category. This, and a new query
keyword, allow (1st):
# 1=DRM_UT_KMS (iirc)
#> echo "module drm class 1 +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
Then equivalently:
# except it also clears other flags
#> echo 0x01 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
dyndbg:
- fixes a bug in dyndbg static_key toggling, @stable cc'd
- adds support for distinct classes to dyndbg (new,unused feature)
- add DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSBITS macro and callbacks
to implement bitmap -> classid sysfs knob
dyndbg:
- drops exported fn: dynamic_debug_exec_queries()
any potential users would just use macro, or a tweak on it.
- improve info-msg to print both "old -> new" flags
drm:
- adapts drm to use that support (link category to class_id)
- wraps drm_*dbg() in a dyndbg Factory macro to get NOOP optimized debugs
this disconnects drm.debug sysfs knob
- uses DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSBITS macro
this reconnects sysfs knob
This could be -v12, but the focus and subject has wandered a bit, and
patchwork CI had multiple different notions of the version.
Noteworthy changes:
- no tracefs stuff here, refocus
split out already, needs maturation, more attention.
its competing with a diet plan, to reduce 56 bytes/callsite. RFC.
Previous drm.debug approach:
- avoided drm_dbg & drm_devdbg by splicing in pr_debug & dev_dbg
this preserved the optional decorations: module:function:line:
- used DRM_UT_CORE => "drm:core:" prefix-string, cpp cat'd to formats
this made sites selectable by matching to that format prefix
This version:
- .class_id is easier to explain, and no config/format-string diffs
- wraps drm_dbg & drm_devdbg callsites for jumplabel enablement
efficiency was original goal.
- loses the optional decorations.
drm has its own logmsg standards, doesnt need decorations slapped on
later: could recast flags for drm specific decorations
This is based on 5.17-rc4
Its also here: in (dd-drm branch)

I'll push further fixes there as they come.
