debug messages\n\nBase infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.\n\nI\u0027ve introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes\ncontrol of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,\ncurrently, \u003cdebugfs\u003e/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,\nis not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by\ndefining \u0027DEBUG\u0027 for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no\naffect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.\n\nThe infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That\nis, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls\ncan be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.\n\nFuture plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define \ntheir own debug levels and flags.\n\nUsage:\n\nDynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, \n\u003cdebugfs\u003e/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that\ncan be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:\n\n\t\u003cmodule_name\u003e \u003cenabled\u003d0/1\u003e\n\t\t.\n\t\t.\n\t\t.\n\n\t\u003cmodule_name\u003e : Name of the module in which the debug call resides\n\t\u003cenabled\u003d0/1\u003e : whether the messages are enabled or not\n\nFor example:\n\n\tsnd_hda_intel enabled\u003d0\n\tfixup enabled\u003d1\n\tdriver enabled\u003d0\n\nEnable a module:\n\n\t$echo \"set enabled\u003d1 \u003cmodule_name\u003e\" \u003e dynamic_printk/modules\n\nDisable a module:\n\n\t$echo \"set enabled\u003d0 \u003cmodule_name\u003e\" \u003e dynamic_printk/modules\n\nEnable all modules:\n\n\t$echo \"set enabled\u003d1 all\" \u003e dynamic_printk/modules\n\nDisable all modules:\n\n\t$echo \"set enabled\u003d0 all\" \u003e dynamic_printk/modules\n\nFinally, passing \"dynamic_printk\" at the command line enables\ndebugging for all modules.

It currently is doing that\n in userspace which results in:\n - Huge test scripts that could be a one liner in the kernel\n - A lot of BIOS bugs are already absorbed by the kernel\n\nWhat do we need such a stupid linuxfirmwarekit for?\n\n - Vendors: Can test their BIOSes for Linux compatibility.\n There will be the time when vendors realize that the test utils\n on Linux are more strict and using them increases the qualitity\n and stability of their products.\n\n - Vendors: Can easily fix up their BIOSes and be more Linux\n compatible by:\n dmesg |grep \"Firmware Bug\"\n and send the result to their BIOS developer colleagues who should\n know what the messages are about and how to fix them, without\n the need of studying kernel code.\n\n - Distributions: can do a first automated HW/BIOS checks.\n This can then be done without the need of asking kernel developers\n who need to dig down the code and explain the details.\n Certification can/will just be rejected until\n dmesg |grep \"Firmware Bug\" is empty.\n\n - Thus this can be used as an instrument to enforce cleaner BIOS\n code. Currently every stupid Windows ACPI bug is\n re-implemented in Linux which is a rather unfortunate situation.\n We already have the power to avoid this in e.g. memory\n or cpu hot-plug ACPI implementations, because Linux certification\n is a must for most vendors in the server area.\n Working towards being able to do that in the laptop area\n (vendors are starting to look at Linux here also and will use this tool)\n is the goal. At least provide them a tool to make it as easy\n for this guys (e.g. not needing to browse kernel code) as possible.\n\n - The ordinary Linux user: can go into the next shop, boots the\n firmwarekit on his most preferred machines.

The code generation advantage isn\u0027t large and in most\ncases it is not worth uglifying code with this.\n\nThis patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk()\nas cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although\nwe can keep them for now for older compilers.\n\nBUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell\ngcc to mark a inline function told.\n\nAlso all __init and __exit functions are marked cold.

I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels,\nbut that might change in the future.\n\nOne disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented\nto verify them.\n\nAnother drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this.\nUnfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor.

There is no\nprotection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the\nchain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:\n\n http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l\u003dlinux-kernel\u0026m\u003d113018709002036\u0026w\u003d2\n\nWe noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage\nclasses:\n\n\t\"Blocking\" chains are always called from a process context\n\tand the callout routines are allowed to sleep;\n\n\t\"Atomic\" chains can be called from an atomic context and\n\tthe callout routines are not allowed to sleep.\n\nWe decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None\nof them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.\n\n ATOMIC CHAINS\n -------------\narch/i386/kernel/traps.c:\t\ti386die_chain\narch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tia64die_chain\narch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:\t\tpowerpc_die_chain\narch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tsparc64die_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tdie_chain\ndrivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:\txaction_notifier_list\nkernel/panic.c:\t\t\t\tpanic_notifier_list\nkernel/profile.c:\t\t\ttask_free_notifier\nnet/bluetooth/hci_core.c:\t\thci_notifier\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_chain\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/ipv6/addrconf.c:\t\t\tinet6addr_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/netlink/af_netlink.c:\t\tnetlink_chain\n\n BLOCKING CHAINS\n ---------------\narch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:\tpSeries_reconfig_chain\narch/s390/kernel/process.c:\t\tidle_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/process.c\t\tidle_notifier\ndrivers/base/memory.c:\t\t\tmemory_chain\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_policy_notifier_list\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_transition_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/adb.c:\t\tadb_client_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c\twf_client_list\ndrivers/usb/core/notify.c\t\tusb_notifier_list\ndrivers/video/fbmem.c\t\t\tfb_notifier_list\nkernel/cpu.c\t\t\t\tcpu_chain\nkernel/module.c\t\t\t\tmodule_notify_list\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\tmunmap_notifier\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\ttask_exit_notifier\nkernel/sys.c\t\t\t\treboot_notifier_list\nnet/core/dev.c\t\t\t\tnetdev_chain\nnet/decnet/dn_dev.c:\t\t\tdnaddr_chain\nnet/ipv4/devinet.c:\t\t\tinetaddr_chain\n\nIt\u0027s possible that some of these classifications are wrong.
