dyndbg: add drm.debug style (drm/parameters/debug) bitmap support
Add kernel_param_ops and callbacks to use a class-map to validate and
apply input to a sysfs-node, which allows users to control classes
defined in that class-map. This supports uses like:
echo 0x3 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
IE add these:
- int param_set_dyndbg_classes()
- int param_get_dyndbg_classes()
- struct kernel_param_ops param_ops_dyndbg_classes
Following the model of kernel/params.c STANDARD_PARAM_DEFS, these are
non-static and exported. This might be unnecessary here.
get/set use an augmented kernel_param; the arg refs a new struct
ddebug_class_param, which contains:
- A ptr to user's state-store; a union of &ulong for drm.debug, &int
for nouveau level debug. By ref'g the client's bit-state _var, code
coordinates with existing code (like drm_debug_enabled) which uses
it, so existing/remaining calls can work unchanged. Changing
drm.debug to a ulong allows use of BIT() etc.
- FLAGS: dyndbg.flags toggled by changes to bitmap. Usually just "p".
- MAP: a pointer to struct ddebug_classes_map, which maps those
class-names to .class_ids 0..N that the module is using. This
class-map is declared & initialized by DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP.
- map-type: 4 enums DD_CLASS_TYPE_* select 2 input forms and 2 meanings.
numeric input:
DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS integer input, independent bits. ie: drm.debug
DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NUM integer input, 0..N levels
classnames-list (comma separated) input:
DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_NAMES each name affects a bit, others preserved
DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NAMES names have level meanings, like kern_levels.h
_NAMES - comma-separated classnames (with optional +-)
_NUM - numeric input, 0-N expected
_BITS - numeric input, 0x1F bitmap form expected
_DISJOINT - bits are independent
_LEVEL - (x<y) on bit-pos.
_DISJOINT treats input like a bit-vector (ala drm.debug), and sets
each bit accordingly. LEVEL is layered on top of this.
_LEVEL treats input like a bit-pos:N, then sets bits(0..N)=1, and
bits(N+1..max)=0. This applies (bit<N) semantics on top of disjoint
bits.
USAGES:
A potentially typical _DISJOINT_NAMES use:
echo +DRM_UT_CORE,+DRM_UT_KMS,-DRM_UT_DRIVER,-DRM_UT_ATOMIC \
> /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug_catnames
A naive _LEVEL_NAMES use, with one class, that sets all in the
class-map according to (x<y):
: problem seen
echo +L7 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
: problem solved
echo -L1 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
Note this artifact:
: this is same as prev cmd (due to +/-)
echo L0 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
: this is "even-more" off, but same wo __pr_debug_class(L0, "..").
echo -L0 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
A stress-test/make-work usage (kid toggling a light switch):
echo +L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7,L0,L7 \
> /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names
ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(): inside-fn, works on bitmaps, receives
new-bits, finds diffs vs client-bitvector holding "current" state,
and issues exec_query to commit the adjustment.
param_set_dyndbg_classes(): interface fn, sends _NAMES to
param_set_dyndbg_classnames() and returns, falls thru to handle _BITS,
_NUM internally, and calls ddebug_apply_class_bitmap(). Finishes by
updating state.
param_set_dyndbg_classnames(): handles classnames-list in loop, calls
ddebug_apply_class_bitmap for each, then updates state.
NOTES:
_LEVEL_ is overlay on _DISJOINT_; inputs are converted to a bitmask,
by the callbacks. IOW this is possible, and possibly confusing:
echo class V3 +p > control
echo class V1 -p > control
IMO thats ok, relative verbosity is an interface property.
_LEVEL_NUM maps still need class-names, even though the names are not
usable at the sysfs interface (unlike with _NAMES style). The names
are the only way to >control the classes.
- It must have a "V0" name,
something below "V1" to turn "V1" off.
__pr_debug_cls(V0,..) is printk, don't do that.
- "class names" is required at the >control interface.
- relative levels are not enforced at >control
_LEVEL_NAMES bear +/- signs, which alters the on-bit-pos by 1. IOW,
+L2 means L0,L1,L2, and -L2 means just L0,L1. This kinda spoils the
readback fidelity, since the L0 bit gets turned on by any use of any
L*, except "-L0".
All the interface uncertainty here pertains to the _NAMES features.
Nobody has actually asked for this, so its practical (if a little
tedious) to split it out.
