Subject: [PATCH v9 27/32] dyndbg: treat comma as a token separator
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:29:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129072932.2190803-28-jim.cromie@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129072932.2190803-1-jim.cromie@gmail.com>
Treat comma as a token terminator, just like a space. This allows a
user to avoid quoting hassles when spaces are otherwise needed:
:#> modprobe drm dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p\;class,DRM_UT_KMS,+p
or as a boot arg:
drm.dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p # todo: support multi-query here
Given the many ways a boot-line +args can be assembled and then passed
in/down/around shell based tools, this may allow side-stepping all
sorts of quoting hassles thru those layers.
existing query format:
modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg="class D2_CORE +p"
new format:
modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg=class,D2_CORE,+p
ALSO
selftests-dyndbg: add comma_terminator_tests
New fn validates parsing and effect of queries using combinations of
commas and spaces to delimit the tokens.
It manipulates pr-debugs in builtin module/params, so might have deps
I havent foreseen on odd configurations.
