Here we introduce few debug macros with levels (low, medium and
high) and debug macro for firmware. Enabling the particular level
will be done by dynamic debug with levels.

For example to enable debug messages with low level:
echo 'module venus_dec level 0x01 +p' > debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

If you want to enable all levels:
echo 'module venus_dec level 0x07 +p' > debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

All the features which dynamic debugging provide are preserved.

And finaly all dev_dbg are translated to VDBGX with appropriate
debug levels.

So you just lost the information that dev_dbg() gave you with regards to
the device/driver/instance creating that message?

Ick, no, don't do that.

And why is this driver somehow "special" compared to all the rest of
the kernel?  Why is the current dev_dbg() control not sufficient that
you need to change the core for just this tiny thing?

thanks,

No, I don't lose anything.  When I do debug I know that all debug
messages comes from my driver.  dev_dbg will give me few device
identifiers which I don't care so much. IMO, the device information
makes more sense to dev_err/warn/err variants.  On the other side we
will have dev_dbg_level(group) if still someone needs the device
information.

Of course it is special ... to me ;-)

No, you need/want that, trust me.

You really want those "gerneric identifiers" as tools today are built to
properly parse and handle them to be able to match and filter on what
device/driver is causing what issue.

Please do not try to create driver-specific prefixes instead, use the
standard the rest of the kernel uses, your driver is not "special" in
this case at all.

Yes, "special and unique" like all other drivers in the kernel :)

Please work with the infrastructure we have, we have spent a lot of time
and effort to make it uniform to make it easier for users and
developers.  Don't regress and try to make driver-specific ways of doing
things, that way lies madness...

Not quite.

This lack of debug grouping by type has been a
_long_ standing issue with drivers.

It's not driver specific, it allows driver developers to
better isolate various debug states instead of keeping
lists of specific debug messages and enabling them
individually.

For instance, look at the homebrew content in
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_print.c that does _not_ use
dynamic_debug.

MODULE_PARM_DESC(debug, "Enable debug output, where each bit enables a debug category.\n"
"\t\tBit 0 (0x01)  will enable CORE messages (drm core code)\n"
"\t\tBit 1 (0x02)  will enable DRIVER messages (drm controller code)\n"
"\t\tBit 2 (0x04)  will enable KMS messages (modesetting code)\n"
"\t\tBit 3 (0x08)  will enable PRIME messages (prime code)\n"
"\t\tBit 4 (0x10)  will enable ATOMIC messages (atomic code)\n"
"\t\tBit 5 (0x20)  will enable VBL messages (vblank code)\n"
"\t\tBit 7 (0x80)  will enable LEASE messages (leasing code)\n"
"\t\tBit 8 (0x100) will enable DP messages (displayport code)");
module_param_named(debug, __drm_debug, int, 0600);

void drm_dev_dbg(const struct device *dev, enum drm_debug_category category,
		 const char *format, ...)
{
	struct va_format vaf;
	va_list args;

	if (!drm_debug_enabled(category))
		return;

Ok, and will this proposal be able to handle stuff like this?  If not,
then it is yet another way for driver authors to think that they need to
come up with something unique to themselves. :(

Yes, that's the entire point.

If it doesn't have the capability to handle stuff like this,
then no, it wouldn't be a good or useful change.

That includes the ability to work without dynamic debug and
perhaps still use a MODULE_PARM_DESC.

Currently I think there not enough "levels" to map something like
drm.debug to the new dyn dbg feature. I don't think it is intrinsic
but I couldn't find the bit of the code where the 5-bit level in struct
_ddebug is converted from a mask to a bit number and vice-versa.

Here [1] is Joe's initial suggestion. But I decided that bitmask is a
good start for the discussion.

I guess we can add new member uint "level" in struct _ddebug so that we
can cover more "levels" (types, groups).

I don't think it is allocating only 5 bits that is the problem!

The problem is that those 5 bits need not be encoded as a bitmask by
dyndbg, that can simply be the category code for the message. They only
need be converted into a mask when we compare them to the mask provided
by the user.

commit 20298ec88cc2ed64269c8be7b287a24e60a5347e
Author: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

    dyndbg: WIP towards module->debugflags based callsite controls

    There are *lots* of ad-hoc debug printing solutions in kernel,
    this is a 1st attempt at providing a common mechanism for many of them.

    Basically, there are 2 styles of debug printing:
    - levels, with increasing verbosity, 1-10 forex
    - bits/flags, independently controlling separate groups of dprints

    This patch does bits/flags (with no distinction made yet between 2)

    API:

    - change pr_debug(...)  -->  pr_debug_typed(type_id=0, ...)
    - all existing uses have type_id=0
    - developer creates exclusive types of log messages with type_id>0
      1, 2, 3 are disjoint groups, for example: hi, mid, low

    - !!type_id is just an additional callsite selection criterion

      Qfoo() { echo module foo $* >/proc/dynamic_debug/control }
      Qfoo +p               # all groups, including default 0
      Qfoo mflags 1 +p      # only group 1
      Qfoo mflags 12 +p     # TBD[1]: groups 1 or 2
      Qfoo mflags 0 +p      # ignored atm TBD[2]
      Qfoo mflags af +p     # TBD[3]: groups a or f (10 or 15)

    so patch does:

    - add u32 debugflags to struct module. Each bit is a separate print-class.

    - add unsigned int mflags into struct ddebug_query
      mflags matched in ddebug_change

    - add unsigned int type_id:5 to struct _ddebug
      picks a single debugflag bit.  No subclass or multitype nonsense.
      nice and dense, packs with other members.
      we will have a lot of struct _ddebugs.

    - in ddebug_change()
      filter on !! module->debugflags,
      IFF query->module is given, and matches dt->mod_name
      and query->mflags is given, and bitmatches module->debugflags

    - in parse_query()
      accept new query term: mflags $arg
      populate query->mflags
      arg-type needs some attention, but basic plumbing is there

    WIP: not included:

    - pr_debug_typed( bitpos=0, ....)
      aka: pr_debug_class() or pr_debug_id()
      the bitpos is 1<<shift, allowing a single type. no ISA relations.
      this covers OP's high,mid,low case, many others

    - no way to exersize new code in ddebug_change
      need pr_debug_typed() to make a (not-null) typed callsite.
      also no way to set module->debugflags

    Im relying on:
    cdf6d00696 dynamic_debug: don't duplicate modname in ddebug_add_module

    which copies the ptr-val from module->name to dt->mod_name, which
    allowed == tests instead of strcmp.

    That equivalence and a (void*) cast in use of container_of() seem to
    do the trick to get the module, then module->debugflags.

    Notes:

    1- A query ANDs all its query terms together, so Qfoo() above
    requires both "module foo" AND all additional query terms given in $*

    But since callsite type_id creates disjoint groups, "mflags 12" is
    nonsense if it means groups 1 AND 2.  Here, 1 OR 2 is meaningful, if
    its not judged to be too confusing.

    2- im not sure what this does atm, or should do
       Qfoo mflags 0 +p      # select only untyped ? or no flags check at all ?

    3- since modflags has 32 bits, [1-9a-v] could select any single type_id
       it is succinct, but arcane.
       its a crude alphanumeric map for developers to make flags mnemonic
       maybe query keyword should be mbits

I think it might be nice to have this proposal to integrate level too
so we see how it fits in. Maybe level is just about we enable things?
So you still mark callsites with pr_debug_typed(), but we can eanble
them via something like, 'echo module foo level N +p  >
/proc/dynamic_debug/control'. And that and 'p' to all callsites <= N.
So anybody using pr_debug_typed() can use either style to enable/disable.

So I thought this meant select group twelve. Aren't there 32 groups?

seems like it should group 0 which you're calling untyped. So you can write group
0 call sites as pr_debug(); or pr_debug_typed(0, ...); I'm not sure why we should
treat it differently other than it can be written without the pr_debug_typed().

Also wondering if the control file should display the type (if non-zero). I think
that would be nice.

There were 6 unused bits in struct _ddebug;

The original idea was to avoid expanding the already somewhat
large struct _ddebug uses and the __verbose/__dyndbg section
that can have quite a lot of these structs.

I imagine adding another int or long wouldn't be too bad.

I also suggested adding a pointer to whatever is provided
by the developer so the address of something like
MODULE_PARM_DESC(variable, ...) can be also be used.

Truly, thank you both Jim and Stanimir.

Please remember that dynamic_debug is not required and
pr_debug should still work.

You could have a u8 for type if there are to be 3 classes

	bitmask
	level
	group by value

though I believe group by value might as well just be bitmask
and bool is_bitmask is enough (!is_bitmask would be level)

pr_debug, pr_debug_n now in printk.h

_?_?dynamic_.+_cl  adaptations in dynamic_debug.h

this is feeling wrong now.
setting these bits would have to trigger an update via ddebug_exec_query
kinda like setting a bit would trigger
       echo module $foo mflags $bitpos +p > control

its possible, but not 1st, or 2nd perhaps.
In general Im quite leery of rigging up some callback to do it.

its prudent to effect all debug changes via >control

wrong, ddebug_change cannot respond to changes of debugflags,
most it could do is consult it on queries

now done, as pr_debug_n, pr_debug in printk.h

Ive adapted the macros with a "_cl(cl, " insertion,

also added trailing prcls to control output
