I'm not sure this is the right approach. It's still faking dynamic usage
when none of the callers at this stage of the boot actually are dynamic.
Consider instead what would happen if there was a kdb_register_table() that
took a kdbtab_t pointer and an length and enqueued them to the new list.
The effect of this is that most of the existing kdb_register() and
kdb_register_flags() calls would become (self documenting) static
tables instead:
kdb_register_flags("md", kdb_md, "<vaddr>",
"Display Memory Contents, also mdWcN, e.g. md8c1", 1,
KDB_ENABLE_MEM_READ | KDB_REPEAT_NO_ARGS);
...
Effectively becomes:
kdbtab_t maintab[] = {
{ .cmd_name = "md",
.cmd_func = mdb_md,
.cmd_usage = "<vaddr">,
.cmd_help = "Display Memory Contents, also mdWcN, e.g. md8c1",
.cmd_minlen = 1,
.cmd_flags = KDB_ENABLE_MEM_READ | KDB_REPEAT_NO_ARGS,
},
...
};
kdb_register_table(maintab, ARRAY_SIZE(maintab));
At that point the only users of kdb_register_flags() would be the macro
logic and that already relies on the slabs so it is OK to have dynamic
memory allocation for that.
Daniel.
PS It is also possible to switch the macro logic to simplify the
allocation by embedded a kdbtab_t into struct defcmd_set. That
would also even more tidy up of registration code... but that
could (and should) be in another patch so it doesn't all
have to land together.
