[PATCH v9 29/39] dyndbg-API: promote DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM to API
From: Jim Cromie via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 21:10:32 EST
From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>
move the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM macro from test-dynamic-debug.c into
the header, and refine it, by distinguishing the 2 use cases:
1.DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM_REF
for DRM, to pass in extern __drm_debug by name.
dyndbg keeps bits in it, so drm can still use it as before
2.DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM
new user (test_dynamic_debug) doesn't need to share state,
declares a u32 to store the bitvec.
__DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM
bottom layer - allocate,init a ddebug-class-param, module-param-cb.
Modify ddebug_sync_classbits() argtype deref inside the fn, to give
access to all kp members.
Also add stub macros, clean up and improve comments in test-code, and
add MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs.

v9:
. fix 4-argument signature for DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CLASSMAP_PARAM_REF fallback macro stub.
. update format specifier from %d to %u for inrep in ddebug_class_param_clamp_input().
. drop duplicate v2pr_info() line in param_set_dyndbg_module_classes().
. drop unused CLASSMAP_BITMASK(width, base) define in test_dynamic_debug.c.
