Hi Orson,
So I like the idea of being able to use pr_debug() as a way for modules to
tie into dynamic_debug() without having to enable everything via
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG. However the 'DEBUG' already has a specific meaning
which is to enable the printing or enable by default (can be turned off
at run-time if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set).
So I think generally modules want the printing off by default. So maybe
what we want is instead of:
>> +#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \
>> + (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE) && defined(DEBUG))
is:
>> +#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \
>> + (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE) && defined(DEBUG_MODULE))
That is introduce a new per-module definition I've called it
'DEBUG_MODULE' (perhaps we can name it better), that enables
dynamic debugging without having to turn it on globally. Then,
modules can in addition enabled 'DEBUG' if they want all the printing
on by default.
Thanks,
