This adds a few configurable debugging options:
* driver debugging and tracing is now configurable per device
* driver debugging and tracing is now configurable at runtime
* the debugging / tracing is not run at all (besides a mask check)
unless the specific debugging bitmap field is configured.

FWIW, in brcmfmac I decided not to filter trace messages. The overhead
is relatively small and if needed you can pass filter expressions with
trace-cmd record.

Until now tracing has been always enabled, irrespective what debug_mask
has contained. Now you are changing that and by default log messages are
not delivered through tracing until user enables them. So I think to
keep the old behaviour trace_debug_mask should be ATH10K_DBG_ANY
(0xffffffff) by default and the user can modify the mask per device via
the debugfs file.
But is it really needed to be able to filter trace messages? debug_mask
I understand, but not sure about trace_debug_mask.

So this means that there's a debugfs file
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath10k/debug for every ath10k device.
Sounds like a good idea. I just don't like the name of file, would
debug_mask be more descriptive?
> * driver debugging and tracing is now configurable at runtime
Correction, debug_mask has been always to possible change via
/sys/module/ath10k_core/parameters/debug_mask file. Now it doesn't work
anymore, which is ok, but I think we should make it clear for users as
well.
I wonder would that work if we change the mask to 0444:
module_param_named(debug_mask, ath10k_debug_mask, uint, 0644);
> * the debugging / tracing is not run at all (besides a mask check)

So I guess with this you mean that the function ath10k_dbg() is not
called if debug messages are disabled? This is something which is good
to do in another patch. And the original assumption was that if you care
about performance you won't even enable CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUG, so that
path was not optimised in any way. How much benefit does this bring?

The ifdef looks wrong, it's already inside CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUGFS. Was it
supposed to be CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUG?

Well, it is up to you. Have to clariy though that if you are not
actually recording a trace there is (almost) no overhead. We have
Kconfig to compile tracing code in and I see no performance impact with
tracing code. Only when doing tracing you will get little overhead.

The tracing mask is only there to avoid calling debug() all the time
for events that aren't being debugged. That definitely has a cost.

The reason for configuring it via a mask is that:
* the previous behaviour is "always call debug(), conditionally print,
always pass to trace"
This meant that function arguments were evaluated even if things
weren't being printed.
So to avoid that in the default case, there are now two masks. If I
have one mask then I can only trace what is being printed, which is
not desired. I'd like to be able to have no overhead when doing no
debugging, a little overhead when doing tracing (and only the items
being traced), and then printing when I want to print.

I fixed those in the pending branch:

I'll look at this more closely later.

Ok, so you want also filter tracing messages. Any particular reason for
that, limited storage space or something else? Just curious.
So what's the most expensive part here, the actual function call to
ath10k_dbg() or va_start()/ve_end() within the function? And do you have
before and after throughput numbers for this? And maybe also with
CONFIG_ATH10K_DEBUG is disabled, which should be the most fastest. It
would be good to know how much this has affect on performance.
We could of course always change ath10k_dbg()/ath10k_dbg_dump() to
inline functions (or maybe even cpp macros) but if va_start()/va_end()
are the expensive part that won't help.

I agree that is how it should work, but i can't see how you do it on
ath10k without the debug overhead always being there.
If there's a way to know /a/ trace watch is going on from the kernel
then it could be flipped on for that, but i didn't see any obvious
"trace enable" / "trace disable" hooks.

I also think that this is how it should work. For example, if you have
tracing enabled in wpasupplicant/hostapd with the command below you can
get a lot of information in one file with relatively little overhead:
trace-cmd record -e mac80211 -e cfg80211 -e ath10k
But if user is forced to use debugfs to enable ath10k tracing that is
quite a step backwards.
