Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] dynamic debug: allow printing to trace event
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:33:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200825153338.17061-3-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200825153338.17061-1-vincent.whitchurch@axis.com>

When debugging device drivers, I've found it very useful to be able to
redirect existing pr_debug()/dev_dbg() prints to the trace buffer
instead of dmesg.  Among the many advantages of the trace buffer is that
it can be dynamically resized, allows these prints to combined with
other trace events, and doesn't fill up system logs.

Since dynamic debug already has hooks in these call sites, getting these
prints into the ftrace buffer is straightforward if we have dynamic
debug do it.

Add an "x" flag to make the dynamic debug call site print to a new
printk:dyndbg trace event.  The trace event can be emitted instead of or
in addition to the printk().

The print buffer is statically allocated and managed using code borrowed
from __ftrace_trace_stack() and is limited to 256 bytes (four of these
are allocated per CPU to handle the various contexts); anything larger
will be truncated.
