dynamic_debug: process multiple debug-queries on a line
Insert ddebug_exec_queries() in place of ddebug_exec_query(). It splits the query string on [;\n], and calls ddebug_exec_query() on each. All queries are processed independent of errors, allowing a query to fail, for example when a module is not installed. Empty lines and comments are skipped. Errors are counted, and the last error seen (negative) or the number of callsites found (0 or positive) is returned. Return code checks are altered accordingly. With this, multiple queries can be given in ddebug_query, allowing more selective enabling of callsites. As a side effect, a set of commands can be batched in: cat cmd-file > $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control We dont want a ddebug_query syntax error to kill the dynamic debug facility, so dynamic_debug_init() zeros ddebug_exec_queries()'s return code after logging the appropriate message, so that ddebug tables are preserved and $DBGMT/dynamic_debug/control file is created. This would be appropriate even without accepting multiple queries. This patch also alters ddebug_change() to return number of callsites matched (which typically is the same as number of callsites changed). ddebug_exec_query() also returns the number found, or a negative value if theres a parse error on the query. Splitting on [;\n] prevents their use in format-specs, but selecting callsites on punctuation is brittle anyway, meaningful and selective substrings are more typical. Note: splitting queries on ';' before handling trailing #comments means that a ';' also terminates a comment, and text after the ';' is treated as another query. This trailing query will almost certainly result in a parse error and thus have no effect other than the error message. The double corner case with unexpected results is: ddebug_query="func foo +p # enable foo ; +p" Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
