[RFC PATCH 0/3] rust: add suppord for dynamic debug
Posted by Andrew Ballance 4 months ago
This patch series adds support for dynamic debug to the rust
pr_debug! and dev_dbg! macros.

I have tested it and it and it does work but, there are a few
differences between this and the c version (hence why this is a rfc).

rust does not have an equivlant to the C __func__ macro. so, for the
time being this hard codes the function name to be the name of the
macro e.g. "pr_debug!" and "dev_dbg!".

This uses the module_path! macro to get the module name, which will not
be exactly the same as the c version if a kernel module contains multiple
rust modules. e.g. it might be "kernel_module_name::rust_module_name".
this does give a more accurate description of where the print statement
is located but it exactly what the c version does.

This patch series also had to make a small change to the static_branch!
macro so that it allows keys that are nested multiple structs deep within
a static variable.

oops. typo.
is *not* exactly what the c version does.
