Subject: [PATCH 11/13] drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
Date: Tue,  1 Mar 2022 09:46:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220301164629.3814634-12-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220301164629.3814634-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com>

drm_print.c calls pr_debug() just once, from __drm_printfn_debug(),
which is a generic/service fn.  The callsite is compile-time enabled
by DEBUG in both DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y/n builds.

For dyndbg builds, reverting this callsite back to bare printk is
correcting a few anti-features:

1- callsite is generic, serves multiple drm users.
   its hardwired on currently
   could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading
   they describe only the generic site, not end users

IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.

reverting yields a nominal data and text shrink:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 462583   36604   54592 553779   87333 /lib/modules/5.16.0-rc4-lm1-00008-ged3eac8ceeea/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
 462515   36532   54592 553639   872a7 /lib/modules/5.16.0-rc4-lm1-00009-g6ce0b88d2539-dirty/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko

NB: this was noticed using _drm_debug_enabled(), added earlier.
