Subject: [PATCH v10 06/10] drm_print: add choice to use dynamic debug in drm-debug
Date:   Fri,  5 Nov 2021 13:26:33 -0600

drm's debug system writes 10 distinct categories of messages to syslog
using a small API[1]: drm_dbg*(10 names), DRM_DEV_DEBUG*(3 names),
DRM_DEBUG*(8 names).  There are thousands of these callsites, each
categorized in this systematized way.

These callsites can be enabled at runtime by their category, each
controlled by a bit in drm.debug (/sys/modules/drm/parameter/debug).
In the current "basic" implementation, drm_debug_enabled() tests these
bits in __drm_debug each time an API[1] call is executed; while cheap
individually, the costs accumulate with uptime.

This patch uses dynamic-debug with (required) jump-label to patch
enabled callsites onto their respective NOOP slots, avoiding all
runtime bit-checks of __drm_debug by drm_debug_enabled().

Dynamic debug has no concept of category, but we can emulate one by
replacing enum categories with a set of prefix-strings; "drm:core:",
"drm:kms:" "drm:driver:" etc, and prepend them (at compile time) to
the given formats.

Then we can use:

   # echo module drm format "^drm:core: " +p > control`

to enable the whole category with one query.

This conversion yields many new prdbg callsites:

  dyndbg: 207 debug prints in module drm_kms_helper
  dyndbg: 376 debug prints in module drm
  dyndbg: 1811 debug prints in module i915
  dyndbg: 3917 debug prints in module amdgpu

Each site costs 56 bytes of .data, which is a big increase for
drm modules, so CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG makes it optional.

CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is also required, to get the promised optimizations.

The "basic" -> "dyndbg" switchover is layered into the macro scheme

A. A "prefix" version of DRM_UT_<CATs> map, named DRM_DBG_CAT_<CATs>

"basic":  DRM_DBG_CAT_<CATs>  <===  DRM_UT_<CATs>.  Identity map.
"dyndbg":
   #define DRM_DBG_CAT_KMS    "drm:kms: "
   #define DRM_DBG_CAT_PRIME  "drm:prime: "
   #define DRM_DBG_CAT_ATOMIC "drm:atomic: "

DRM_UT_* are preserved, since theyre used elsewhere.  Since the
callback maintains its state in __drm_debug, drm_debug_enabled() will
stay synchronized, and continue to work.  We can address them
separately if they are called enough to be worth fixing.

B. drm_dev_dbg() & drm_debug() are interposed with macros

basic:	  forward to renamed fn, with args preserved
enabled:  redirect to pr_debug, dev_dbg, with CATEGORY format catenated

This is where drm_debug_enabled() is avoided.  The prefix is prepended
at compile-time, no category at runtime.

C. API[1] uses DRM_DBG_CAT_<CAT>s

The API already uses B, now it uses A too, instead of DRM_UT_<CAT>, to
get the correct token type for "basic" and "dyndbg" configs.

D. use DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES()

This defines the map using DRM_CAT_<CAT>s, and creates the /sysfs
bitmap to control those categories.

CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is also used to adjust amdgpu, i915
makefiles to add -DDYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE; it includes the current
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE and is enabled by the user.

LIMITATIONS:

dev_dbg(etal) effectively prepends twice, category then driver-name,
yielding format strings like so:

bash-5.1# grep amdgpu: /proc/dynamic_debug/control | grep drm: | cut -d= -f2-
_ "amdgpu: drm:core: fence driver on ring %s use gpu addr 0x%016llx\012"
_ "amdgpu: drm:kms: Cannot create framebuffer from imported dma_buf\012"

This means we cannot use anchored "^drm:kms: " to specify the
category, a small loss of precision.

Note that searching on "format ^amdgpu: " works, but this is less
valuable, because the same can be done with "module amdgpu".

NOTES:

Because the dyndbg callback is keeping state in __drm_debug, it
synchronizes with drm_debug_enabled() and its remaining users; the
switchover should be transparent.

Code Review is expected to catch the lack of correspondence between
bit=>prefix definitions (the selector) and the prefixes used in the
API[1] layer above pr_debug()

I've coded the categories with trailing spaces.  This excludes any
sub-categories which might get added later.  This convention protects
any "drm:atomic:fail:" callsites from getting stomped on by `echo 0 >
debug`.  Other categories could differ, but we need some default.

Dyndbg requires that the prefix be in the compiled-in format string;
run-time prefixing evades callsite selection by category.

	pr_debug("%s: ...", __func__, ...) // not ideal

Unfortunately __func__ is not a macro, and cannot be catenated at
preprocess/compile time.

If you want that, you might consider +mfl flags instead;)

. move some commit-log prose to dyndbg commit
. add-prototyes to (param_get/set)_dyndbg
. more wrinkles found by <lkp@intel.com>
. relocate ratelimit chunk from elsewhere
v6:
. add kernel doc
. fix cpp paste, drop '#'
v7:
. change __drm_debug to long, to fit with DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CATEGORIES
. add -DDYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE to ccflags if DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
