[PATCH v9 34/39] dyndbg: harden classmap and descriptor validation

From: Jim Cromie via B4 Relay

Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 21:06:34 EST


From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Dynamic debug classmaps allow modules to _DEFINE and/or _USE multiple
classmaps, but this requires coordination amongst the classmaps.

Previously, class validation done by DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE at
compile-time, and ddebug_class_range_overlap() at modprobe-time, was
incomplete, and DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_ had no validation. This
could allow broken classmaps, making them harder to use well.

This commit improves classmap and descriptor validation:

- Mirror the compile-time limits of _DEFINE by adding a static_assert
to validate the _offset value passed to DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_USE_.

- Add run-time overlap checks for _USEd classmaps in ddebug_add_module()
to prevent collisions between private maps and imported APIs.

- Scan module descriptors at load time to print a single warning per
missing class_id, rather than waiting for a user query to trip over it.

- Downgrade the global WARN_ONCE in ddebug_match_desc() to a
pr_warn_ratelimited, since orphaned class IDs are now tracked and
warned about early at module load.
