this is v5, changes from previous:
 - moved a chunk from patch 13 to 12, per Jason
 - shorten logging prefix to "dyndbg", drop __func__
 - now with more commit-log advocacy
 - shuffle EXPORT_GPL(ddebug_exec_queries) last.
 - v4+ series Acked-by: jbaron@akamai.com

Patchset starts with cleanups;
 - change section name from vague "__verbose" to specific "__dyndbg"
 - cleaner docs, drop obsolete comment & useless debug prints,
 - refine verbose/debug logging
 - fix a BUG_ON, ram reporting miscounts. etc..

Then adds query parsing conveniences
 - allow "file inode.c:100-200"		# combined file & line-range
 - allow "file inode.c:start_*"		# file & function
 - accept "module=foo" query form

internal improvement
 - combine flags & mask in a struct, clean 3 func interfaces with it.
 
make precise format queries easier
 - accept "format=^ClassString" anchored query

finally, EXPORT_GPL(ddebug_exec_queries)

This gives module authors complete run-time control over all their
*pr_debug* callsites (when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y).

Following the drm.debug UI model, drm.debug_chan2 could be wired to a
callback which invokes ddebug_exec_queries to toggle arbitary groups
of pr_debug callsites.

Useful callsite groups would exploit existing message-prefix
classifcation schemes:

  "format=^[IF_TRACE]: +p; format=^[SURFACE]: +p" >control


Jim Cromie (18):
  dyndbg-docs: eschew file /full/path query in docs
  dyndbg-docs: initialization is done early, not arch
  dyndbg: drop obsolete comment on ddebug_proc_open
  dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty
  dyndbg: rename __verbose section to __dyndbg
  dyndbg: fix overcounting of ram used by dyndbg
  dyndbg: fix a BUG_ON in ddebug_describe_flags
  dyndbg: fix pr_err with empty string
  dyndbg: prefer declarative init in caller, to memset in callee
  dyndbg: make ddebug_tables list LIFO for add/remove_module
  dyndbg: use gcc ?: to reduce word count
  dyndbg: refactor parse_linerange out of ddebug_parse_query
  dyndbg: accept 'file foo.c:func1' and 'file foo.c:10-100'
  dyndbg: accept query terms like file=bar and module=foo
  dyndbg: combine flags & mask into a struct, simplify with it
  dyndbg: allow anchored match on format query term
  dyndbg: shorten our logging prefix, drop __func__
  dyndbg: export ddebug_exec_queries
