Subject: [PATCH v8-RESEND 15/33] dyndbg-API: fix DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP() has a design error; its usage fails a basic
K&R rule: "define once, refer many times".

It is used across DRM core & drivers, each use re-defines the classmap
understood by that module; and all must match for the modules to
respond together when DRM.debug categories are enabled.  This is
brittle; a maintenance foot-gun.

Worse, it causes the CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=Y regression; 1st
drm.ko loads, and dyndbg initializes its DRM.debug callsites, then a
drm-driver loads, but too late - it missed the DRM.debug enablement.

So replace it with 2 macros:
  DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE - invoked once from core - drm.ko
  DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE    - from all drm drivers and helpers.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE: it reuses a renamed DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP to
construct the struct classmap variable, but it drops the static
qualifier, and exports it instead.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE: then refers to the exported var by name:
* used from drivers, helper-mods
* lets us drop the repetitive "classname" args
* fixes 2nd-defn problem
* creates a ddebug_class_user record in new __dyndbg_class_users section
  this allows ddebug_add_module(etal) to handle them per-module.

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP is preserved temporarily, to decouple DRM
adaptation work and avoid compile-errs before its done.  IOW, DRM
gets fixed when they commit the adopt-new-api patches.

The DEFINE,USE distinction, and the separate usage record, allows
dyndbg to initialize the drivers & helpers DRM.debug callsites
separately after each is modprobed.

Basically, the classmap init-scan repeated for classmap-users.

To review, dyndbg's existing __dyndbg_classes[] section does:

 catalogs the classmaps defined by a module (or builtin modules)
 authorizes dyndbg to >control those class'd prdbgs for the module.
 DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE creates classmaps in this section.

This patch adds __dyndbg_class_users[] section:

 catalogs uses/references to the classmap definitions.
 authorizes dyndbg to >control those class'd prdbgs in ref'g module.
 DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE() creates classmap-user records in this new section.

Now ddebug_add_module(etal) can handle classmap-uses similar to (and
after) classmaps; when a dependent module is loaded, its parent's
kernel params are scanned to find if a param is wired to dyndbg's
param-ops, whose classmap ref is the one being looked for.

To support this, theres a few data/header changes:

new struct ddebug_class_user
  contains: user-module-name, &classmap-defn
  it records drm-driver's use of a classmap in the section, allowing lookup

struct ddebug_info gets 2 new fields to contain the new section:
  class_users, num_class_users.
  set by dynamic_debug_init() for builtins.
  or by kernel/module/main:load_info() for loadable modules.

vmlinux.lds.h: new BOUNDED_SECTION for __dyndbg_class_users

dynamic_debug.c has 2 changes in ddebug_add_module(), ddebug_change():

ddebug_add_module() already calls ddebug_attach_module_classes()
to handle classmaps DEFINEd by a module, now it also calls
ddebug_attach_user_module_classes() to handle USEd classmaps.  To
avoid this work when possible, 1st scan the module's descriptors and
count the number of class'd pr_debugs.

ddebug_attach_user_module_classes() scans the module's class_users
section, follows the refs to the parent's classmap, and calls
ddebug_apply_params() on each.  It also avoids work by checking the
module's class-ct.

ddebug_apply_params(new fn):

It scans module's/builtin kernel-params, calls ddebug_match_apply_kparam
for each to find the params/sysfs-nodes which may be wired to a classmap.

ddebug_match_apply_kparam(new fn):

1st, it tests the kernel-param.ops is dyndbg's; this guarantees that
the attached arg is a struct ddebug_class_param, which has a ref to
the param's state, and to the classmap defining the param's handling.

2nd, it requires that the classmap ref'd by the kparam is the one
we're called for; modules can use many separate classmaps (as
test_dynamic_debug does).

Then apply the "parent" kparam's setting to the dependent module,
using ddebug_apply_class_bitmap().

ddebug_change(and callees) also gets adjustments:

ddebug_find_valid_class(): This does a search over the module's
classmaps, looking for the class FOO echo'd to >control.  So now it
searches over __dyndbg_class_users[] after __dyndbg_classes[].

ddebug_class_name(): return class-names for defined AND used classes.

test_dynamic_debug.c, test_dynamic_debug_submod.c:

This demonstrates the 2 types of classmaps & sysfs-params, following
the 4-part recipe:

1. define an enum for the classmap: DRM.debug has DRM_UT_{CORE,KMS,...}
   multiple classes must share 0-62 classid space.
2. DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE(.. DRM_UT_{CORE,KMS,...})
3. DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_PARAM* (classmap)
4. DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE()
   by _submod only, skipping 2,3

Move all the enum declarations together, to better explain how they
share the 0..62 class-id space available to a module (non-overlapping
subranges).

reorg macros 2,3 by name.  This gives a tabular format, making it easy
to see the pattern of repetition, and the points of change.

And extend the test to replicate the 2-module (parent & dependent)
scenario which caused the CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y regression
seen in drm & drivers.

The _submod.c is a 2-line file: #define _SUBMOD, #include parent.

This gives identical complements of prdbgs in parent & _submod, and
thus identical print behavior when all of: >control, >params, and
parent->_submod propagation are working correctly.

It also puts all the parent/_submod declarations together in the same
source, with the new ifdef _SUBMOD block invoking DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE
for the 2 test-interfaces.  I think this is clearer.

These 2 modules are both tristate, allowing 3 super/sub combos: Y/Y,
Y/M, M/M (not N/N).  Y/Y testing exposed a missing __align(8) in the
_METADATA macro, which M/M didn't see because the module-loader memory
placement constrains it instead.

DEBUG details:

``#define DEBUG`` in src enables all pr_debugs after it, including any
class'd pr_debugs; its not necessarily all-or-nothing, unless you do
the define in a header.  Also, the only way to disable a class'd
pr_debug is via the classmap-kparam or using "class foo" in control
queries, to address the classes by name.

NB: this patch ignores a checkpatch do-while warning; which is wrong
for declarative macros like these:

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c
48:static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(spu_lock);
62:static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(spu_full_list_lock);
63:static DEFINE_MUTEX(spu_full_list_mutex);

v8 - split drm parts to separate commits.
     preserve DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP to decouple DRM, no flag day.
     fixup block comment

v7 - previous submission-blocking bug:

missing __align(8) in DYNAMIC_DEBUG_DECLARE_METADATA on
ddebug_class_user caused corrupt records, but only for builtin
modules; module loader code probably pinned allocations to the right
alignment naturally, hiding the bug for typical builds.

v6- get rid of WARN_ON_ONCE
v?- fix _var expanded 2x in macro
