Subject: WIP generic module->debug_flags and dynamic_debug

Message-ID: <CAJfuBxzxwoyXbDrgQzb=BZJ8ZQ5hHo32Zr1uo6Od=7+q13+GXQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200609104604.1594-7-stanimir.varbanov@linaro.org>

so Ive got a WIP / broken / partial approach to giving all modules a
u32 flagset,
and enabling pr_debug based upon it.  I leave out the "pr_debug_typed(
bitpos )" for now.  For Stanimir, bits 1,2,3 could be high, middle,
low.

ATM its broken on my lack of container_of() skills.

Im trying to use it to get a struct module* using its name value thats
been copied
into a ddebug_table member.

Im relying on
cdf6d006968  dynamic_debug: don't duplicate modname in ddebug_add_module
to have the same value in both structs

but Im clearly missing a few things
besides the likely future trouble with .rodata builtin modules
(after compile prob solved)

It seems container_of wants me to use struct ddebug_table instead,
but I dont want a *ddebug_table.
Ive blindly guessed at adding & and * to 1st param, w/o understanding.

can anyone diagnose my problem ?
