dyndbg: add DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP macro
Using DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP, modules can declare up to 31 classnames. By doing so, they authorize dyndbg to manipulate class'd prdbgs (ie: __pr_debug_cls, and soon drm_*dbg), ala:: :#> echo class DRM_UT_KMS +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control The macro declares and initializes a static struct ddebug_class_map:: - maps approved class-names to class_ids used in module, by array order. forex: DRM_UT_* - class-name vals allow validation of "class FOO" queries using macro is opt-in - enum class_map_type - determines interface, behavior Each module has its own class-type and class_id space, and only known class-names will be authorized for a manipulation. Only DRM modules should know and respont to this: :#> echo class DRM_UT_CORE +p > control # across all modules pr_debugs (with default class_id) are still controllable as before. DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP(_var, _maptype, _base, classes...) is:: _var: name of the static struct var. user passes to module_param_cb() if they want a sysfs node. _maptype: this is hard-coded to DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS for now. _base: usually 0, it allows splitting 31 classes into subranges, so that multiple classes / sysfs-nodes can share the module's class-id space. classes: list of class_name strings, these are mapped to class-ids starting at _base. This class-names list must have a corresponding ENUM, with SYMBOLS that match the literals, and 1st enum val = _base. enum class_map_type has 4 values, on 2 factors:: - classes are disjoint/independent vs relative/x<y/verbosity. disjoint is basis, verbosity by overlay. - input NUMBERS vs [+-]CLASS_NAMES uints, ideally hex. vs +DRM_UT_CORE,-DRM_UT_KMS DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS: classes are separate, one per bit. expecting hex input. built for drm.debug, basis for other types. DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_NAMES: input is a CSV of [+-]CLASS_NAMES, classes are independent, like DISJOINT DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NUM: input is numeric level, 0-N. 0 implies silence. use printk to break that. relative levels applied on bitmaps. DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NAMES: input is a CSV of [+-]CLASS_NAMES, names like: ERR,WARNING,NOTICE,INFO,DEBUG avoiding EMERG,ALERT,CRIT,ERR - no point. NOTES: The macro places the initialized struct ddebug_class_map into the __dyndbg_classes section. That draws an 'orphan' warning which we handle in the next commit. The struct attributes are necessary: __aligned(8) fixed null-ptr derefs, and __used is needed by drm drivers, which declare class-maps, but don't also declare a sysfs-param, and thus dont ref the classmap. The __used insures that the linkage is made, then the class-map is found at load-time. While its possible to handle both NAMES and NUMBERS in the same sys-interface, there is ambiguity to avoid, by disallowing them together. Later, if ambiguities are resolved, 2 new enums can permit both inputs, on verbose & independent types separately, and authors can select the interface style they like. The plan is to implement LEVELS in the callbacks, outside of ddebug_exec_query(), which for simplicity will treat the CLASSES in the map as disjoint. The callbacks can see map-type, and apply ++/-- loops (or bitops) to force the relative meanings across the class-bitmap. RFC: That leaves 2 issues: 1. doing LEVELs in callbacks means that the native >control interface doesn't enforce the LEVELS relationship, so you could confusingly have V3 enabled, but V1 disabled. OTOH, the control iface already allows infinite tweaking of the underlying callsites; sysfs node readback can only tell the user what they previously wrote. 2. All dyndbg >control reduces to a query/command, includes +/-, which is at-root a kernel patching operation with +/- semantics. And the _NAMES handling exposes it to the user, making it API-adjacent. And its not just >control where +/- gets used (which is settled), the new place is with sysfs-nodes exposing _*_NAMES classes, and here its subtly different. _DISJOINT_NAMES: is simple, independent _LEVEL_NAMES: masks-on bits 0 .. N-1, N..max off # turn on L3,L2,L1 others off echo +L3 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names # turn on L2,L1 others off echo -L3 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/p_level_names IOW, the - changes the threshold-on bitpos by 1. Alternatively, we could treat the +/- as half-duplex, where -L3 turns off L>2 (and ignores L1), and +L2 would turn on L<=2 (and ignore others).
