[PATCH v8-RESEND 00/33] Fix CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y regression

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Thu May 16 2024 - 13:44:28 EST


hi Greg, Jason,

This patchset fixes the CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y regression,
Fixes: bb2ff6c27bc9 ("drm: Disable dynamic debug as broken")

Im calling it v8, to keep consistent with previous labels.
v6 was what got committed, back in 9/2022.
v7 had at least 2 problems that blocked its submission:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231101002609.3533731-1-jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/125066/

1. missing __align(8) in METATDATA macro, giving too much placement
freedom to linker, caused weird segvs following non-ptr vals, but for
builtin modules only. found by lkp-test.

2. the main patch touched 2 subsystems at once, which would require
special handling.

What was broken about DYNAMIC_DEBUG ?

Booting a modular kernel with drm.debug=0x1ff enabled pr_debugs only
in drm itself, not in the yet-to-be loaded driver + helpers. Once
loaded, the driver's pr_debugs are properly enabled by:

echo 0x1ff > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug # still worked

I had tested with scripts doing lots of modprobes with various
permutations of dyndbg=<> option, and I missed that I didn't test
without them.

The deeper cause was my design error, a violation of the K&R rule:
"define once, refer many times".

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP defined the classmap, and was used everywhere,
re-declaring the same static classmap repeatedly. Jani Nikula actually
picked up on this (iirc shortly after committed), but the problem
hadn't been seen yet in CI. One patchset across 2 subsystems didn't
help either.

So the revised classmap API "splits" it to def & ref:

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE fixes & updates the busted macro, EXPORTing the
classmap instead. It gets invoked once per subsystem, by the
parent/builtin, drm.ko for DRM.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_USE in drivers and helpers refer to the classmap by
name, which links the 2 modules, (like a driver's dependency on extern
__drm_debug).

These 2 tell dyndbg to map "class FOO" to the defined FOO_ID, which
allows it to make those changes via >control, in both class definer
modules and dependent modules.

DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_PARAM*, defines the controlling kparam, and binds it
to both the _var, and the _DEFINEd classmap. So drm uses this to bind
the classmap to __drm_debug.

It provides the common control-point for the sub-system; it is applied
to the class'd pr_debugs during modprobe of both _DEFINEr and USErs.
It also enforces the relative nature of LEVEL classmaps, ie V3>V2.

DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP is preserved to decouple the DRM patches, so
they can be applied later. I've included them for anyone who wants to
test against DRM now.

A new struct and elf section contain the _USEs; on modprobe, these are
scanned similarly to the _DEFINEs, but follow the references to their
defining modules, find the kparam wired to the classmap, and apply its
classmap settings to the USEr. This action is what V1 missed, which
is why drivers failed to enable debug during modprobe.

In order to recapitulate the regression scenario without involving
DRM, the patchset adds test_dynamic_debug_submod, which is a duplicate
of its parent; _submod.c #defines _SUBMOD, and then includes parent.

This puts _DEFINE and _USE close together in the same file, for
obviousness, and to guarantee that the submod always has the same
complement of debug()s, giving consistent output from both when
classmaps are working properly.

Also ./tools/testing/selftests/dynamic_debug/dyndbg_selftest.sh adds a
turn-key selftest. I pulled it forward from a dyndbg-to-trace patchset
that I and Lukasz Bartozik have been working out.

It works nicely from virtme-ng:

I've been running the kernel on my x86 desktop & laptop, booting with
drm.debug=0x1f, then turning it all-off after sleep 15.

a few highlights from a bare-metal boot:

here modprobe amdgpu; dyndbg applies last bit/class/category, and
finishes init, then drm and amdgpu start logging as they execute

a startup script, after sleep 15, turns off the logging:

echo 0 > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug

heres 1st 2 bits/classes/categories being turned off:

The resulting journal is ~14.6k lines, written in the 1st 15 (29)
seconds of startup. I'm unsure what the 15/29 discrepancy might
indicate/betray, besides a lot of logging work. sleep 15 is not the
best stopwatch.

Recent spins thru lkp-test have also been SUCCESS-ful.
