Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] drm: use dynamic_debug
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2020 20:53:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201204035318.332419-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)

hello gentle readers,

These 2 rfc patches convert part of drm-world to use dynamic debug.

1st one addresses drm.debug category based logging.  If DYNAMIC_DEBUG
is configured, then CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG controls whether
dynamic-debug is used to avoid runtime costs of drm_debug_enabled().
We require CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL too, since we are selling its
optimization.

This change adds many new callsites to /proc/dynamic_debug/control;
~300 in drm, ~200 in drm_kms_helper, as well as ~1500 in i915 driver,
and ~3200 in amdgpu.  So there are substantial implications here.

2nd one is for i915, which I have in my laptop.  `grep pr_debug` found
~90 callsites with a meaningful format-prefix-string, to demonstrate
use of "format ^prefix" to control user categorized debugs.
