Following discussion on linux-wireless,
I separated dynamic hex dump into stand alone patch.

Please review and comment.

In case this option wins, patch follows. There is no need for
2-nd one to fix existing drivers.

Subject: [PATCH] dynamic_debug: dynamic hex dump

Introduce print_hex_dump_debug() that can be dynamically controlled, similar to
pr_debug.

Also, make print_hex_dump_bytes() dynamically controlled

Implement only 'p' flag (_DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) to keep it simple since hex dump prints
multiple lines and long prefix would impact readability.
To provide line/file etc. information, use pr_debug or similar
before/after print_hex_dump_debug()

These should be in a different location after print_hex_dump
is declared. Also for #defines, the indentation doesn't
need to be so deep.

#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
#define debug_hex_dump(prefix_str, prefix_type, rowsize, \
groupsize, buf, len, ascii) \
dynamic_hex_dump(prefix_str, prefix_type, \
rowsize, groupsize, buf, len, ascii)

groupsize, buf, len, ascii) \
print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, prefix_str, prefix_type, \

#endif

A better option might be to convert print_hex_dump_bytes()
to dynamic_debug as that's already KERN_DEBUG. That
could be simpler overall and it makes existing calls
become dynamic as well.

You mean something like below? Yes, it will work as well.

Pro: don't need to change existing code
(drop [PATCH 2/2] dynamic_debug: use constant format in print_hex_dump_bytes())

Cons: format in dynamic metadata will be useless

What looks better?

And, here it goes (can I call it PATCH?):

Introduce debug_hex_dump() that can be dynamically controlled, similar to
pr_debug.

Also, make print_hex_dump_bytes() dynamically controlled

Implement only 'p' flag (_DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) to keep it simple since hex dump prints
multiple lines and long prefix would impact readability.
To provide line/file etc. information, use pr_debug or similar
before/after debug_hex_dump()

print_hex_dump_debug might be a better name than
debug_hex_dump because it's more similar to the other
print_hex_dump<_foo> names.

Another option could be testing __builtin_constant_p(prefix)

Yes, thanks. I've pulled in this patch, and posted a dynamic debug tree
at: git clone git://github.com/jibaron/ddebug.git

I will push the collected set of patches to Greg.

I also added a couple of patches there to convert dynamic debug to use
'jump labels', which shows good results.

Thanks,

In case of option 1), patches follows. Note there is change in the initial patch as well (I forgot to exclude print_hex_dump_bytes() from compilation in hexdump.c. Please, comment.

Subject: [PATCH] dynamic_debug: dynamic hex dump

Introduce print_hex_dump_debug() that can be dynamically controlled, similar to
pr_debug.

Also, make print_hex_dump_bytes() dynamically controlled

Implement only 'p' flag (_DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT) to keep it simple since hex dump prints
multiple lines and long prefix would impact readability.
To provide line/file etc. information, use pr_debug or similar
before/after print_hex_dump_debug()

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dynamic_debug: use constant format in
print_hex_dump_bytes()

In order to convert print_hex_dump_bytes() to dynamic debug,
it should be wrapped in macro (DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA)
to define metadata. This, in turn, require 'format' to be constant string.
For practical purposes, it is reasonable to use as 'format' the
'prefix_str' argument for the print_hex_dump_bytes()

This patch fixes usage of dynamically generated prefixes. General approach
is to print desired prefix using pr_debug(), following with hex dump using "short"
prefix string. This will preserve desired information with little impact on readability.

In fact, result should be even better for human, albeit it may break automatic log
parser, should it be based on prefix string.

Yes it's too late, these will go into linux-next after 3.8-rc1 is out.

I have internally patch that will compensate not merged yet functionality,
without any rename, see below. I can massage commit message and include it
with my driver as separate patch to be easier to undo later.

Comments?

Subject: [PATCH] [DEBUG] Allow to compile with mainstream kernel

Unless patch for dynamic hexdump merged into mainstream kernel,
need to provide replacement for the dynamic hexdump functionality

Do not hurt compilation with kernel that have patch above merged.

REMOVE when dynamic hexdump merged into mainstream kernel!!

Vladimir, to be clear, you can continue with waiting for the patches
to get into 3.9 but that will take a while but given that you want
your driver in 3.8 you can fold those routines into your driver as
you had before but with a rename by adding a prefix and sumbit that
driver and specify it is for 3.8.

Agreed.

Vladimir, sorry about this.

I suggest you prefix/rename and include these functions directly into
your driver and later after 3.9 is out you could again rename the
local calls to the now generic kernel functions and delete the local
ones.

Your driver is for new hardware, so even now it should be able to
go into 3.8.

cheers, Joe

Hi Luis,

Yes, I posted this patch, along with 2 others last week for Greg to
pull. I believe these are too late for the 3.8 merge window. Perhaps,
Greg can comment. Here's a link to the post:

Hi Jason,

Do you have any update on the status for patches below?
Where is it now? When do you expect it to merge? 3.8?
I am waiting for this to merge before I can go on
with my driver.

Thanks, Vladimir
