dynamic debug: resurrect old pr_debug() semantics as pr_devel()

2009-04-16T23:17:10+00:00

pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is now no longer the case in practice[1]. There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't want them to generate any code in production kernels. So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no code is produced. [1]: You can turn CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG off, but it's enabled in at least one distro kernel, so it's not really a solution.

kexec: add dmesg log symbols to /proc/vmcoreinfo lists

2009-04-03T02:05:04+00:00

It would be nice to be able to extract the dmesg log from a vmcore file without needing to keep the debug symbols for the running kernel handy all the time. We have a facility to do this in /proc/vmcore. This patch adds the log_buf and log_end symbols to the vmcoreinfo area so that tools (like makedumpfile) can easily extract the dmesg logs from a vmcore image.

dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk

2009-03-24T23:38:26+00:00

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.
