Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 12/18] dyndbg: allow deleting site info via control interface
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2021 23:07:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210316050801.2446401-13-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210316050801.2446401-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Allow users & subsystems to selectively delete callsite info for
pr-debug callsites. Hopefully, this can lead to actual recovery of
memory.
DRM is a potential user which would drop the sites:
- has distinct categories for logging, and can map them over to a
format prefix, like: "drm:core:", "drm:kms:", etc.
- are happy with group control of all the callsites in a class/cateory.
individual control is still possible using queries including line numbers
- don't need dynamic "module:function:line:" prefixes in log messages
- don't care about loss of context in /proc/dynamic_debug/control
before:
init/initramfs.c:485 [initramfs]unpack_to_rootfs =_ "Detected %s compressed data\012"
init/main.c:1337 [main]run_init_process =pm " %s\012"
init/main.c:1335 [main]run_init_process =pm " with environment:\012"
init/main.c:1334 [main]run_init_process =pm " %s\012"
init/main.c:1332 [main]run_init_process =pm " with arguments:\012"
init/main.c:1121 [main]initcall_blacklisted =pm "initcall %s blacklisted\012"
init/main.c:1082 [main]initcall_blacklist =pm "blacklisting initcall %s\012"
then:
bash-5.0# echo file init/main.c +D > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
after:
init/initramfs.c:485 [initramfs]unpack_to_rootfs =_ "Detected %s compressed data\012"
[main]:1337 =pmD " %s\012"
[main]:1335 =pmD " with environment:\012"
[main]:1334 =pmD " %s\012"
[main]:1332 =pmD " with arguments:\012"
[main]:1121 =pmD "initcall %s blacklisted\012"
[main]:1082 =pmD "blacklisting initcall %s\012"
Notes:
If Drm adopted dyndbg, i915 + drm* would add ~1600 prdebugs, amdgpu +
drm* would add ~3200 callsites, so the additional memory costs are
substantial. In trade, drm and drivers would avoid lots of calls to
drm_debug_enabled(). This patch should reduce the costs.
Using this interface, drm could drop site info for all categories /
prefixes controlled by bits in drm.debug, while preserving site info
and individual selectivity for any uncategorized prdebugs, and for all
other modules.
Lastly, because lineno field was not moved into _ddebug_callsite, it
can be used to modify a single[*] callsite even if drm has dropped all
the callsite data:
echo module $mod format ^$prefix line $line +p >control
Dropping site info is a one-way, information losing operation, so
minor misuse is possible. Worst case is maybe (depending upon
previous settings) some loss of logging context/decorations.
echo +D > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
[*] amdgpu has some macros invoking clusters of pr_debugs; each use of
them creates a cluster of pr-debugs with the same line number.
