[RFC PATCH 10/10] dyndbg: cache the dynamically generated prefixes per callsite

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Thu Oct 12 2023 - 15:48:09 EST


Add a private maple-tree to cache any prefix strings required (and
then generated) for any enabled pr_debug callsites. And delete any
cache entries if any flags are changed afterwards.

This cache is strictly per-callsite, so if a function has 20
pr_debugs, all enabled with the same flags:

echo function foo +pmfs > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

there will be 20 separate, identical cache items created.
Maybe this can be trivially improved later.
Or lineno could be folded in too, so the %d is rendered once.

NB: +tl flags are added outside the cache; the thread-id doesnt belong
in the cache, the lineno could be added, esp if the 20:1 sharing isnt
trivial enough.

NBB: lineno:18 is enormously "sparse". At this point its not so far
to pack it into something else.
