[PATCH 09/26] dynamic_debug: process multiple commands on a line

From: jim . cromie
Date: Fri Oct 07 2011 - 16:34:33 EST


From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Process multiple commands per line, separated by ';' or '\n'.
All commands are processed, independent of errors, allowing individual
commands to fail, for example when a module is not installed. Errors
are counted, and last error code is returned.

With this, extensive command sets can be given on the boot-line.

Splitting on '\n' allows "cat cmd-file > /dbg/dynamic_debug/control"
where cmd-file contains multiple queries, one per line. Empty commands
are skipped, allowing ";\n\n" to not count as errors.

Splitting on '\n' prevents its use in a format-spec, but thats not very
useful anyway, searching for meaningful and selective substrings is typical.

Also allow comment lines, starting with '#', with optional leading whitespace.
Trailing comments are allowed, if preceded by ';' which terminates
the command on the line. For example:

root@voyage:~# cat debugfs-file

# blank lines ok, comments too
module foo +p
# multiple cmds on line, with ; to separate them
module bar +p ; module buz +p ; # trailing comments need cmd terminator too

root@voyage:~# cat debugfs-file > /dbg/dynamic_debug/control
