Summarize these 4 levels in MODULE_PARM_DESC, and update verbose=3 in Doc.
2- is new, to isolate a problem where a stress-test script (which
feeds ~4kb multi-command strings) would produce short writes,
truncating last command and causing parsing errors, which confused
test results. The script fix was to use syswrite, to deliver full
proper commands.
4- gets per-callsite "changed:" pr-infos, which are very noisy during
stress tests, and formerly obscured v1-3 messages, and overwhelmed the
static-key workload being tested.
The verbose parameter has previously seen adjustment:
commit 481c0e33f1 ("dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty")
The script driving these adjustments is:
!/usr/bin/perl -w
=for Doc
1st purpose was to benchmark the effect of wildcard queries on query
performance; if wildcards are risk free cheap enough, we can deploy
them in the (floating) format search. 1st finding: wildcards take 2x
as long to process.
2nd purpose was to benchmark real static-key changes VS simple flag
changes. Found ~100x decrease for the hard work.
The script maximizes workload per >control by packing it a ~4kb
string of "+p; -p;" commands; this uncovered some broken stuff.
The 85th query failed, and appears to be truncated, so is gramatically
incorrect. Its either an error here, or in the kernel. Its not
happening atm, retest.
Plot thickens: fail only happens doing +-p, not +-mf, likely load
dependent. Error remains consistent. Looks like a short write,
longer on writer than kernel-reader. Try syswrite on handle to
control this. That fixed short write.

Right now dyndbg shows up as an unknown parameter if used on boot:
Unknown command line parameters: dyndbg=+p
That's because it is unknown, it doesn't sit in the __param
section, so the processing done to warn users supplying an unknown
parameter doesn't think it is legitimate.
Install a dummy handler to register it. dynamic debug needs to search
the whole command line for modules listed that are currently builtin,
so there's no real work to be done in this callback.

Query like 'file tcp_input.c line 1234 +p' was broken by
commit aaebe329bf ("dyndbg: accept 'file foo.c:func1' and 'file
foo.c:10-100'") because a file name without a ':' now makes the loop in
ddebug_parse_query() exits early before parsing the 'line 1234' part.
As a result, all pr_debug() in tcp_input.c will be enabled, instead of only
the one on line 1234. Changing 'break' to 'continue' fixes this.

Instead, fix the tokenizer for the new input, by terminating the

tokenizer work on the quoted argument, like it would have previously.
Also add a few debug-prints to show more parsing context, into
tokenizer and parse-query, and use "keyword, value" in others.

problems:
- broken non DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE configs, sparse warning
- the exported function modifies query string, breaks on RO strings.
- func name follows internal convention, shouldn't be exposed as is.
1st is fixed in header with ifdefd function prototype or stub defn.
Also remove an obsolete HAVE-symbol ifdef-comment, and add others.
Fix others by wrapping existing internal function with a new one,
named in accordance with module-prefix naming convention, before
export hits v5.9.0. In new function, copy query string to a local
buffer, so users can pass hard-coded/RO queries, and internal function
can be used unchanged.

Export ddebug_exec_queries() for use by modules.
This will allow module authors to control all their *pr_debug*s
dynamically. And since ddebug_exec_queries() is what implements
"echo $query >control", it gives the same per-callsite control.
Virtues of this:
- simplicity. just an export.
- full control over any/all subsets of callsites.
- same "query/command-string" in code and console
- full callsite selectivity with module file line format
Format in particular deserves special attention; it is where
low-hanging fruit will be found.
Consider: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/include/logger_types.h:
#define DC_LOG_SURFACE(...) pr_debug("[SURFACE]:"__VA_ARGS__)
#define DC_LOG_HW_LINK_TRAINING(...) pr_debug("[HW_LINK_TRAINING]:"__VA_ARGS__)
.. 9 more ..
Thats 11 string prefixes, used in 804 places in drivers/gpu/**
Clearly this is a systematized classification of those callsites.
And one I'd expect to see repeated often.
Using ddebug_exec_queries(), authors can select on those prefixes
as a unitary set, equivalent to:
echo "module=MODULE_NAME format=^[SURFACE]: +p" >control
Trivially, those sets can be subsected with the other query terms too,
say file=foo, should the author see fit.
Perhaps as important, users can modify the set of enabled callsites,
presumably to aid debugging by enabling helpful debug callsites, and
disabling those that just clutter the info.
Authors could even alter [fmlt] flags, though I dont see a good reason
why they would. Perhaps harnessed by bug-logging automation to get
fuller, or more minimal bug-reports.
DRM
drm has both drm.debug, which defines 32 categories of drm_printk
logging, and entirely separate uses of pr_debug, which are dynamic on
this i915 laptop, running mainline. So I can observe and report on
both.
The i915 driver has 118 dyndbg callsites, with following
"classifications" defined in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/**
$ grep 915 /proc/dynamic_debug/control | cut -d= -f2 | cut -d: -f1,2 | sort -u
_ "gvt: cmd
_ "gvt: core
_ "gvt: dpy
_ "gvt: el
_ "gvt: irq
_ "gvt: mm
_ "gvt: mmio
_ "gvt: render
_ "gvt: sched
_ "%s for root hub!\012"
_ "Vendor defined info completion code %u\012"
This classification is entirely out-of-band for control by drm.debug,
and is only available to root user at the console. But module authors
can activate them with ddebug_exec_queries(sprintf("format=^%s +p")),
and then decide how to expose the groups to the user for max utility.
drm.debug
drm.debug has 32 bit-flags, and matching enum drm_debug_category
values to classify the ~2943 DRM_DEBUG*() callsites in drivers/gpu
The drm.debug callback could invoke ddebug_exec_queries() with 32
different hardcoded query strings, needing only (bit) ? " +p" : " -p"
added.
I briefly enabled drm.debug=0xff on my i915 laptop, which yielded
these unique prefixes: (dmesg | cut -c17- | cut -d\] -f1 | sort -u)

Several good format=^prefixes are apparent there, and some misses.
^[drm:drm_atomic_ # misses: [drm:__drm_atomic_state_free [drm
^[drm:drm_ioctl
^[drm:drm_mode
^[drm:drm_vblank_ # misses: [drm:drm_update_vblank_count & [drm:vblank_disable_fn
Its not a perfect 1:1 single format-match per class, but the misses
above can be covered with 1 & 2 additional queries, which can be
concatenated together with ";" separators and submitted with 1 call.
Benefits:
For drm, adapting DRM_DEBUG to use dynamic-debug inside could
replicate (and thereby obsolete) lots of bit-checking in current
DRM_DEBUG callsites, at least with JUMP_LABEL optimized code.
ddebug_exec_queries() and a handful of fixed query-strings can select
and thereby control the already classified callsites.
With the classes mapped to queries, the enum type and parameter can be
eliminated (folded away with macro magic), at least for DYNAMIC_DEBUG
& JUMP_LABEL builds.
Is it safe ?
ddebug_exec_queries() is currently exposed to user space in
several limited ways;
1 it is called from module-load callback, where it implements the
$modname.dyndbg=+p "fake" parameter provided to all modules.
2 it handles query input via >control directly
IOW, it is "fully" exposed to local root user; exposing the same
functionality to other kernel modules is no additional risk.
The other standard issue to check is locking:
dyndbg has a single mutex, taken by ddebug_change to handle >control,
and by ddebug_proc_(start|stop) to span `cat control`. Queries
submitted via export will typically have module specified, which
dramatically cuts the scan by ddebug_change vs "module=* +p".
ISTM this proposed export presents no locking problems.
TLDR;
It would be interesting to see how drm.dyndbg=$QUERY and
drm.debug=$HEXY would interact; it might be order dependent, as
if given as modprobe args or in /etc/modprobe.d/

This should work:
echo module=amd* format=^[IF_TRACE]: +p >/proc/dynamic_debug/control
consider drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/include/logger_types.h:
It has 11 defines like:
#define DC_LOG_IF_TRACE(...) pr_debug("[IF_TRACE]:"__VA_ARGS__)
These defines are used 804 times at recent count; they are a good use
case to evaluate existing format-message based classifications of
*pr_debug*. Those macros prefix the supplied format with a fixed
string, I'd expect most existing message classification schemes to do
something similar.
Hence we want to be able to anchor our match to the beginning of the
format string, allowing easy construction of clear and precise
queries, leveraging the existing classification scheme to enable and
disable those callsites.
Note that unlike other search terms, formats are implicitly floating
substring matches, without the need for explicit wildcards.
This makes no attempt at wider regex features, just the one we need.
TLDR: Using the anchor also means the []s are less helpful for
disamiguating the prefix from a random in-message occurrence, allowing
shorter prefixes.

flags & mask are used together everywhere, and are passed around
together between multiple functions; they belong together in a struct,
call that struct flag_settings.
Use struct flag_settings to rework 3 functions:
- ddebug_exec_query - declares query and flag-settings,
calls other 2, passing flags
- ddebug_parse_flags - fills flag_settings and returns
- ddebug_change - test all callsites against query,
modify passing sites.
benefits:
- bit-banging always needs flags & mask, best together.
- simpler function signatures
- 1 less parameter, less stack overhead

head, but ddebug_add_module() uses list_add_tail(). Change it to

ddebug_describe_flags() currently fills a caller provided string buffer,
after testing its size (also passed) in a BUG_ON. Fix this by
replacing them with a known-big-enough string buffer wrapped in a
struct, and passing that instead.
Also simplify ddebug_describe_flags() flags parameter from a struct to
a member in that struct, and hoist the member deref up to the caller.
This makes the function reusable (soon) where flags are unpacked.

during dyndbg init, verbose logging prints its ram overhead. It
counted strlens of struct _ddebug's 4 string members, in all callsite
entries, which would be approximately correct if each had been
mallocd. But they are pointers into shared .rodata; for example, all
10 kobject callsites have identical filename, module values.
Its best not to count that memory at all, since we cannot know they
were linked in because of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, and we want to
report a number that reflects what ram is saved by deconfiguring it.
Also fix wording and size under-reporting of the __dyndbg section.
Heres my overhead, on a virtme-run VM on a fedora-31 laptop:
dynamic_debug:dynamic_debug_init: 260 modules, 2479 entries \
and 10400 bytes in ddebug tables, 138824 bytes in __dyndbg section

The verbose/debug logging done for `cat $MNT/dynamic_debug/control` is
voluminous (2 per control file entry + 2 per PAGE). Moreover, it just
prints pointer and sequence, which is not useful to a dyndbg user.
So just drop them.
Also require verbose>=2 for several other debug printks that are a bit
too chatty for typical needs;
ddebug_change() prints changes, once per modified callsite. Since
queries like "+p" will enable ~2300 callsites in a typical laptop, a
user probably doesn't need to see them often. ddebug_exec_queries()
still summarizes with verbose=1.
ddebug_(add|remove)_module() also print 1 line per action on a module,
not needed by typical modprobe user.
This leaves verbose=1 better focussed on the >control parsing process.

Instead of enabling dynamic debug globally with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG,
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only enable core function of dynamic
debug. With the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for any modules, dynamic
debug will be tied to them.
This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for
kernel modules without worrying about kernel image size and memory
consumption is increasing too much.

With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems
is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and
more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic
debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for
its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be
disabled.
To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in
procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for
individual driverfs and subsystems.

The only caller of ddebug_{add,remove}_module outside dynamic_debug.c is
kernel/module.c, which is obviously not itself modular (though it would
be an interesting exercise to make that happen...). I also fail to see
how these interfaces can be used by modules, in-tree or not.

Now that we store the passed-in string directly in ddebug_add_module, we
can use pointer equality instead of strcmp. This is a little more
efficient, but more importantly, this also makes the code somewhat more
correct:
Currently, if one loads and then unloads a module whose name happens to
match the KBUILD_MODNAME of some built-in functionality (which need not
even be modular at all), all of their dynamic debug entries vanish along
with those of the actual module. For example, loading and unloading a
core.ko hides all pr_debugs from drivers/base/core.c and other built-in
files called core.c (incidentally, there is an in-tree module whose name
is core, but I just tested this with an out-of-tree trivial one).

For built-in modules, we're already reusing the passed-in string via
kstrdup_const(). But for actual modules (i.e. when we're called from
dynamic_debug_setup in module.c), the passed-in string (which points at
the name[] array inside struct module) is also guaranteed to live at
least as long as the struct ddebug_table, since free_module() calls
ddebug_remove_module().

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Although dynamic debug is often only used for debug builds, sometimes
its enabled for production builds as well. Minimize its impact by using
jump labels. This reduces the text section by 7000+ bytes in the kernel
image below. It does increase data, but this should only be referenced
when changing the direction of the branches, and hence usually not in
