Subject: [PATCH 18/25] dynamic_debug: Introduce global fake module param $module.dyndbg
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@...il.com>
Rework Thomas Renninger's $module.ddebug boot-time debugging feature,
from https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/9/15/397
Extend dynamic-debug facility to work during module initialization:
foo.dyndbg bar.dyndbg="$bar-query-string"
This patch introduces a 'fake' module parameter: $module.ddebug for
all modules. It is not explicitly added to each module, but is
implemented as an unknown-parameter callback invoked by kernel/param's
parse_one(), and it applies each module's query-string as if it were
written to the $DBGFS/dynamic_debug/control file.
The module-name is added to the unknown-parameter callback signature
and to its caller: parse_one(). This lets the common callback know
what module its handling a common parameter for.
If no value is given (as in foo.dyndbg example above), "+p" is
assumed, which enables all pr_debug callsites in the module.
The parameter is not shown in /sys/module/*/parameters, thus it does
not use any resources. Changes to the parameter are made via the
control file.

+Debug Messages at Module Initialization Time
+============================================
+
+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: (this form works on built-ins too)
+ module.dyndbg=+mfp
+ module.dyndbg # defaults to +p
+
+ - as an ordinary module parameter via modprobe
+ modprobe module dyndbg=+pmfl
+ modprobe module dyndbg # defaults to +p
+
+ - or the parameter can be used permanently via modprobe.conf(.local)
+ options module dyndbg=+pmflt
+ options module dyndbg # defaults to +p
+
+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 dyndbg option is not implemented as an ordinary module parameter
+and thus will not show up in /sys/module/module_name/parameters/dyndbg
+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 dyndbg 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.
