[PATCH 18/26] dynamic_debug: describe_flags with '=[pmflta_]*'

From: jim . cromie
Date: Fri Oct 07 2011 - 16:34:57 EST


From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Change describe_flags() to emit '=[pmflta_]+' for current callsite
flags, or just '=_' when they're disabled. Having '=' in output
allows a more selective grep expression, in contrast '-' may appear
in filenames, line-ranges, and format-strings. '=' also has better
mnemonics, saying; "the current setting is equal to <flags>".

The default allows grep "=_" <dbgfs>/dynamic_debug/control
to see disabled callsites while avoiding the many occurrences of " = "
seen in format strings.

Enlarge flagsbufs to handle additional flag chars, "=a_"
