Subject: [PATCH 20/25] dynamic_debug: rename ddebug param to dyndbg, plus minor tweaks
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@...il.com>
user-visible:
- change param-name from "ddebug" to "dyndbg". This is more clearly
associated with dynamic-debug, and more distinct from other *debug*
names.
minor internal tweaks:
- drop return 0 in the inline void ddebug_module_parse_args stub,
in #ifndef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG case, to silence warning.
- make ddebug_exec_query static again, its not used elsewhere.
- shrink stack in ddebug_boot_parse_args, move auto vars to __initdata.
- convert printk()s to pr_info()s.
- add "mod" prefix to ddebug_module_parse_args(name, args, ...) parameters.
- in ddebug_module_parse_args(), return early if no mod-params,
to avoid non-pertinent pr_info()s and kstrdup.
- in ddebug_module_parse_args() and ddebug_boot_parse_args() arg scan
loops, invert param-name == "ddebug" checks and continue. This
avoids pr_info()s for uninteresting args, and reduces indenting.
- use ddebug_exec_queries() instead of ddebug_exec_query().

Debug Messages at Module Initialization Time
============================================
-Enabling debug messages inside a module is only possible if the module itself
-is loaded already. If you unload a module, the dynamic debug flags associated
-to its debug messages are lost.
-Therefore, enabling debug messages that get processed at module initialization
-time through the <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control interface is not possible.
-Instead, a "ddebug" module paramter can be passed:
+Enabling a module's debug messages via debug control file only works
+once the module is loaded; too late for callsites in init functions.
+And when module is unloaded, debug flag settings for the module are
+lost. Instead, a "dyndbg" module parameter can be passed:
- - via kernel boot parameter:
- module.ddebug
+ - via kernel boot parameter: (this form works on built-ins too)
+ module.dyndbg=+mfp
+ module.dyndbg # defaults to +p
- - as an ordinary module parameter via modprobe
- modprobe module ddebug
+ - as an ordinary module parameter via modprobe modprobe module
+ $> modprobe module dyndbg +pmfl # defaults to +p
- or the parameter can be used permanently via modprobe.conf(.local)
- options module ddebug
+ options module dyndbg=+pmflt
+ options module dyndbg # defaults to +p
-The ddebug option is not implemented as an ordinary module parameter and thus
-will not show up in /sys/module/module_name/parameters/ddebug
-The settings can get reverted through the sysfs interface again when the
-module got loaded as soon as debug messages are not needed anymore:
-echo "module module_name -p" > <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
-as described in the "Command Language Reference" chapter above.
+The $modname.dyndbg="value" should exclude "module $modname", as the
+$modname is taken from the param-name, and only 1 spec of each type is
+allowed.
+
+The ddebug option is not implemented as an ordinary module parameter
+and thus will not show up in /sys/module/module_name/parameters/ddebug
+The settings can be reverted later via the sysfs interface if the
+debug messages are no longer needed:
+
+ echo "module module_name -p" > <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/control
+
+$module.dyndbg="..." on boot-line works on built-in modules as well as
+those loaded by modprobe (from either early or normal userspace), and
+somewhat overlaps debug_query functionality.
+
+Modprobed modules get ddebug flags given on boot-line after those
+given via modprobe (either explicitly, or from /etc/modprobe.d/*).
+This can surprise if boot-line arg subtracts flags.
