Instead of enabling whole kernel with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG, CONFIG_
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only make the basic function definition and
exported symbols to be built without replacing pr_debug or dev_dbg
to dynamic version unless DEBUG is defined for any desired modules
together by users.
This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for some
specific kernel modules without worrying about whole kernel image size will
be significantly increased and more memory consumption caused by CONFIG_
DYNAMIC_DEBUG.

Changes from V1:
- Rewrite commit message for more generic usage.
- Add combination use of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE and DEBUG to enable
dynamic debug seperately.
- Ignore empty _ddtable and return success when only the core is enabled.
- Fix all typoes.

How do you think about this idea?
Optionally enable dynamic debug of modules by the DEBUG macro.

Hi Orson,
So I like the idea of being able to use pr_debug() as a way for modules to
tie into dynamic_debug() without having to enable everything via
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG. However the 'DEBUG' already has a specific meaning
which is to enable the printing or enable by default (can be turned off
at run-time if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set).
So I think generally modules want the printing off by default. So maybe
what we want is instead of:
>> +#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \
>> + (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE) && defined(DEBUG))
is:
>> +#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) || \
>> + (defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_CORE) && defined(DEBUG_MODULE))
That is introduce a new per-module definition I've called it
'DEBUG_MODULE' (perhaps we can name it better), that enables
dynamic debugging without having to turn it on globally. Then,
modules can in addition enabled 'DEBUG' if they want all the printing
on by default.
Thanks,
-Jason

You are right. We'd better not to break user's experience in their
