Subject: [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)
  ghlinux-ro	https://github.com/jimc/linux.git (fetch)

I'll push further fixes there as they come.

Jim Cromie (13):
  dyndbg: fix static_branch manipulation @stable
  dyndbg: add class_id field and query support
  dyndbg: add DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSBITS macro and callbacks
  dyndbg: drop EXPORTed dynamic_debug_exec_queries
  dyndbg: improve change-info to have old and new
  dyndbg: abstract dyndbg_site_is_printing
  drm_print: condense enum drm_debug_category
  drm_print: interpose drm_*dbg with forwarding macros
  drm_print: wrap drm_*_dbg in dyndbg jumplabel
  drm_print: refine drm_debug_enabled for dyndbg+jump-label
  drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
  drm_print: add _ddebug desc to drm_*dbg prototypes
  drm_print: use DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSBITS for drm.debug
