hi Greg, Dan, Jason, DRM-folk,
heres follow-up to V6:
rebased on driver-core/driver-core-next for -v6 applied bits (thanks)
rework drm_debug_enabled{_raw,_instrumented,} per Dan.
It excludes:
nouveau parts (immature)
tracefs parts (I missed --to=Steve on v6)
split _ddebug_site and de-duplicate experiment (way unready)
IOW, its the remaining commits of V6 on which Dan gave his Reviewed-by.
If these are good to apply, I'll rebase and repost the rest separately.
These are also available at:
https://github.com/jimc/linux/releases/tag/dyndbg%2Fdd-drm-class-911
RFC:
DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP's interface can be improved: class-names are
currently strings, like "DRM_UT_CORE", which must have corresponding
ENUM symbols defined. It would be better to just pass DRM_UT_CORE,
etc, and stringify the va-args inside the macro while initializing
classnames member. But how ?
Jim Cromie (9):
drm_print: condense enum drm_debug_category
drm: POC drm on dyndbg - use in core, 2 helpers, 3 drivers.
drm_print: interpose drm_*dbg with forwarding macros
drm_print: wrap drm_*_dbg in dyndbg descriptor factory macro
drm-print.h: include dyndbg header
drm-print: add drm_dbg_driver to improve namespace symmetry
drm_print: optimize drm_debug_enabled for jump-label
drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
drm_print: add _ddebug descriptor to drm_*dbg prototypes

hi Jason, Greg, DRM-folk, drm.debug-on-dyndbg has a regression due to a chicken-&-egg problem; drm.debug is applied to enable dyndbg callsites before the dependent modules' callsites are available to be enabled. My "fixes" are unready, so lets just mark it BROKEN for now. Meanwhile, heres some other fixes, a comment tweak, a proof of non-bug, an internal simplification, and a cleanup/improvement to the main macro (API): Split DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP in 1/2; REFERENCE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP now refers to a classmap DECLARE'd just once. I think this gives a path away from the coordination-by-identical-classmaps "feature" that Jani and others thought was "weird" (my term).

drm.debug-on-dyndbg has a regression, due to a chicken-egg
initialization problem:
1- modprobe i915
i915 needs drm.ko, which is loaded 1st
2- "modprobe drm drm.debug=0x1ff" (virtual/implied)
drm.debug is set post-initialization, from boot-args etc
3- `modprobe i915` finishes
W/O drm.debug-on-dyndbg that just works, because all drm_dbg*
callsites use drm_debug_enabled() to check __drm_debug & DEM_UT_<CAT>
before printing.
But the whole point of drm.debug-on-dyndbg is to avoid that runtime
test, by enabling (at post-modinit) a static-key at each callsite in
the just-loaded module.
And since drm.ko is loaded before all dependent modules, none are
"just-loaded", and no drm.debug callsites are present yet, except
those in drm.ko itself.

Cited commit uses stale macro name, fix this. And improve the explanation.
When DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP() does the
mapping of DRM_UT_* onto BITs in drm.debug. While this is still using
the drm_debug_category enum to do the mapping, its doing so somewhat
indirectly, with the ordered set of DRM_UT_* enum-vals. This requires
that the macro args: DRM_UT_* list must be kept in sync.

more careful reading of test output reveals:
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:103 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =pmf "doing categories\n"
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:105 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "LOW msg\n" class:MID
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:106 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "MID msg\n" class:HI
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:107 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =_ "HI msg\n" class unknown, _id:13
That last line is wrong, the HI class is declared.
But the enum's 1st val (explicitly initialized) was wrong; it must be
_base, not _base+1 (a DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP param). So the last
enumeration exceeded the range of mapped class-id's, which triggered
the "class unknown" report. Basically, I coded in an error, and
forgot to verify it and remove it.
RFC:
This patch fixes a bad usage of DEFINE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP(), showing that
it is too error-prone. As noted in test-dynamic-debug.c comments:
* Using the CLASSMAP api:
* - classmaps must have corresponding enum
* - enum symbols must match/correlate with class-name strings in the map.
* - base must equal enum's 1st value
* - multiple maps must set their base to share the 0-62 class_id space !!
* (build-bug-on tips welcome)
Those shortcomings could largely be fixed with a __stringify_list
(which doesn't exist) used in DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP(), on
__VA_ARGS__ a 2nd time. Then, DRM would pass DRM_UT_* ; all the
categories, in order, and not their stringifications, which created
all the usage complications above.

2.38.1
Dyndbg is required to enable prdbgs at compile-time if DEBUG is
defined. Show this works; add the defn to test_dynamic_debug.c,
and manually inspect/verify its effect at module load:
[ 15.292810] dyndbg: module:test_dynamic_debug attached 4 classes
[ 15.293189] dyndbg: 32 debug prints in module test_dynamic_debug
[ 15.293715] test_dd: init start
[ 15.293716] test_dd: doing categories
[ 15.293716] test_dd: LOW msg
...
[ 15.293733] test_dd: L6 msg
[ 15.293733] test_dd: L7 msg
[ 15.293733] test_dd: init done
NOTES:
As is observable above, define DEBUG enables all prdbgs, including
those in mod_init-fn, and more notably, the "class"d ones (callsites
with non-default class_ids).
This differs from the >control interface, which in order to properly
protect a client's class'd prdbgs, requires a "class FOO" in queries
to change them. Note that the DEBUG is in the module source file.
This yields an occaisional surprise; the following disables all the
compile-time enabled plain prdbgs, but leaves the class'd ones
enabled.

Since sysfs knobs should generally read-back what was just written
(unless theres a good reason to do otherwise), this result (using
test_dynamic_debug.ko) is suboptimal:
echo L3 > p_level_names
cat p_level_names
4
Fix this with a -1 offset in LEVEL_NAMES readback.
NOTE:
Calling this a BUG is debatable, and the above is slightly inaccurate
wrt "read-back"; whats written is a LEVEL_NAME (a string). Whats read
back is an integer, giving the 'edge' of the 'low-pass-filter'
The actual test looks like:
RTT: L4 -> p_level_names : 4 :: DOING: levels 4-1
[ 17.509594] dyndbg: "L4" > p_level_names:0x4
[ 17.510115] dyndbg: apply: 0x1f to: 0xf

This -1 adjustment just reports the edge consistently with its

2.38.1
DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAPs job is to allow modules to declare the debug
classes/categories they want dyndbg to >control. Its args name the
class-names, and the sysfs interface style (usually a class-bitmap).
A separate module_param_cb wires the sysfs node to the classmap.
In DRM, multiple modules declare identical DRM_UT_* classmaps, so that
they are modified across those modules in a coordinated way, by either
explicit class DRM_UT_* queries to >control, or by writes to drm.debug
(/sys/module/drm/parameters/debug).
This coordination-by-identical-declarations is weird, so this patch
splits the macro into DECLARE and REFERENCE (USE?) flavors. This
distinction improves the api; DECLARE is used once to specify the
classmap, and multiple users REFERENCE the single declaration
explicitly.
Currently the latter just reuses the former, and still needs all the
same args, but that can be tuned later; the DECLARE can initialize the
(extern/global) struct classmap, and REFERENCE can, well reference
that struct.

2.38.1
Classmaps are stored/linked in a section/array, but are each added to
the module's ddebug_table.maps list-head.
This is unnecessary; even when ddebug_attach_classmap() is handling
the builtin section (with classmaps for multiple builtin modules), its
contents are ordered, so a module's possibly multiple classmaps will
be consecutive in the section, and could be treated as a vector/block,
since both start-addy and subrange length are in the ddebug_info arg.
So this changes:
struct ddebug_table gets: classes for the start-addy, num_classes for
the length (placed to improve struct packing).
The loading: in ddebug_attach_module_classes(), replace the
for-the-modname list-add loop, with a forloop that finds the module's
subrange (start,length) of matching classmaps within the possibly
builtin classmaps vector, and saves those to the ddebug_table.
The reading/using: change list-foreach loops in ddebug_class_name() &
ddebug_find_valid_class() to walk the array from start to length.
Also move #define __outvar up, above an added use in a fn-prototype.

This stuff broke i915 debugs. When I first load i915 no debug prints are
produced. If I then go fiddle around in /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
the debug prints start to suddenly work.

Wait what? I always assumed the default behaviour would stay the same,
which is usually how we roll. It's a regression in my books. We've got a
CI farm that's not very helpful in terms of dmesg logging right now
because of this.

That doesn't sound good - so you are saying that prior to this change some
of the drm debugs were default enabled. But now you have to manually enable
them?

I didnt knowingly change something, but since its apparently happening,
heres a 1st WAG at a possible cause
commit ccc2b496324c13e917ef05f563626f4e7826bef1

drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
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.
it is soft-wired on currently by #define DEBUG
could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading here,
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:

No. We just disabled it as BROKEN for now. I was just today thinking
about sending that patch out if no solutin is forthcoming soon since
we need this working before 6.1 is released.
Pretty sure you should see the problem immediately with any driver
(at least if it's built as a module, didn't try builtin). Or at least
can't think what would make i915 any more special.

So, I should note -
99% of my time & energy on this dyndbg + drm patchset
has been done using virtme,
so my world-view (and dev-hack-test env) has been smaller, simpler
maybe its been fatally simplistic.
ive just rebuilt v6.0 (before the trouble)
and run it thru my virtual home box,
I didnt see any unfamiliar drm-debug output
that I might have inadvertently altered somehow
I have some real HW I can put a reference kernel on,0
to look for the missing output, but its all gonna take some time,
esp to tighten up my dev-test-env
in the meantime, there is:
config DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG
bool "use dynamic debug to implement drm.debug"
default y
depends on DRM
depends on DYNAMIC_DEBUG || DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE
depends on JUMP_LABEL
help
Use dynamic-debug to avoid drm_debug_enabled() runtime overheads.
Due to callsite counts in DRM drivers (~4k in amdgpu) and 56
bytes per callsite, the .data costs can be substantial, and
are therefore configurable.
Does changing the default fix things for i915 dmesg ?
or is the problem deeper ?
theres also this Makefile addition, which I might have oversimplified
CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) += -DDYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE

I think we want to mark it BROKEN in addition to make sure no one
enables it by accident. We already got one bug report where I had to
ask the reporter to rebuild their kernel since this had gotten
enabled and we didn't get any debugs from the driver probe.

Ok, I get the distinction now.
youre spelling that
depends on BROKEN
I have a notional explanation, and a conflating commit:
can you eliminate
git log -p ccc2b496324c13e917ef05f563626f4e7826bef1
as the cause ?

drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
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.
it is soft-wired on currently by #define DEBUG
could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading here,
they describe only the generic site, not end users
IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.
This shouldnt have turned off any debug of any kind
(drm.debug nor plain pr_debug)
but that former callsite no longer does the modname:func:line prefixing
that could have been in effect and relied upon (tested for) by your CI
I do need to clarify, I dont know exactly what debug/logging output
is missing such that CI is failing
related,
Ive added DEBUG to test-dynmamic-debug,
to prove the compile-time enablement of pr_debugs.
patch forthcoming, with a couple other fixes.

CI isn't failing. But any logs it produces are 100% useless,
as are any user reported logs.
The debugs that are missing are anything not coming directly
from drm.ko.
The stuff that I see being printed by i915.ko are drm_info()
and the drm_printer stuff from i915_welcome_messages(). That
also implies that drm_debug_enabled(DRM_UT_DRIVER) does at
least still work correctly.
I suspect that the problem is just that the debug calls
aren't getting patched in when a module loads. And fiddling
with the modparam after the fact does trigger that somehow.

So, what I think I need to add:
ddebug_add_module() scans the module being loaded,
looking for a param thats wired to dyndbg's modparam callback.
Then it calls that callback, with the val of the sysfs-node
(drm.debug in this case), and the module (i915)
the callback will then run the query to enable callsites per drm.debug.
I'll guess the kparams I need to find are in a section somewhere
Anyone want to toss a lawn-dart at the code I need to look at, copy ?

Hi,
I'm a bit confused with this. My understanding is that there
is a 'regression' here from how this used to work. But the
'class' keyword is new - are we sure this is the command-line
we are trying to fix?

Ok, I thought the sysfs callbacks only happen when
the sysfs file is written? And thus this works once
when the sysfs file is explicitly written by the user
after boot but not before then?

The thing we need fixed is just the bog standard drm.debug=0xe etc.

the regression here is that previously, any late changes to drm.debug
are seen by all callers of drm_debug_enabled(), which checks the bits
when called.
Now, the change to drm.debug causes updates to currently loaded modules'
prdbgs. But module loading of dependent modules is incomplete,
and those prdbgs are too late.

my example was unfortunate, I repeated the test with
options drm debug=0x1f
the results are the same, dyndbgs callback applies the class queries,
but the helper, driver modules arent yet loaded, so the class'd prdbgs
arent there to be enabled.
The Notional fix (Im working on it)
dyndbg gets static list of CLASSMAPS,
ddebug_attach_module_classes() can then distinguish the "owner"
of each classmap (the 1st module declaring it), from the subsequently
loaded modules (which reuse the same previously declared classmap)
as subsequent modules (say drm_kms_helper) refs the DRM_UT_* classmap
(just attached to drm module), ddebug_attach_module_classes() can
invoke the callback to reapply drm.debug to the newly loaded module.
or so I think.
