Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] kexec_file: print out debugging message if required
Date:   Thu, 30 Nov 2023 10:39:48 +0800

Currently, specifying '-d' on kexec command will print a lot of debugging
informationabout kexec/kdump loading with kexec_load interface.

However, kexec_file_load prints nothing even though '-d' is specified.
It's very inconvenient to debug or analyze the kexec/kdump loading when
something wrong happened with kexec/kdump itself or develper want to
check the kexec/kdump loading.

In this patchset, a kexec_file flag is KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG added and checked
in code. If it's passed in, debugging message of kexec_file code will be
printed out and can be seen from console and dmesg. Otherwise, the
debugging message is printed like beofre when pr_debug() is taken.

Note:
****
=====
1) The code in kexec-tools utility also need be changed to support
passing KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kernel when 'kexec -s -d' is specified.
The patch link is here:
=========
[PATCH] kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to support debug printing
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-November/028505.html

2) s390 also has kexec_file code, while I am not sure what debugging
information is necessary. So leave it to s390 developer.

Test:
****
====
Testing was done in v1 on x86_64 and arm64. For v3, tested on x86_64
again. And on x86_64, the printed messages look like below:
--------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

History:
********
=========
v2->v3:
- Adjust all the indentation of continuation line to the open parenthesis
  for all kexec_dprintk() call sites. Thank Joe to point this out.
- Fix the LKP report that macro kexec_dprintk() is invalid when
  CONFIG_KEXEC=Y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=n, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.

v1->v2:
- Take the new format of kexec_dprintk() suggested by Joe which can
  reduce kernel text size.
- Fix building error of patch 2 in kernel/crash_core.c reported by LKP.
- Fix building warning on arm64 in patch 4 reported by LKP.
