27 * EXECUTING DEBUGGING ACTIONS OR NOT
29 * The main thing this framework provides is decission power to take a
30 * debug action (like printing a message) if the current debug level
33 * The decission power is at two levels: at compile-time (what does
34 * not make it is compiled out) and at run-time. The run-time
35 * selection is done per-submodule (as they are declared by the user
38 * A call to d_test(L) (L being the target debug level) returns true
39 * if the action should be taken because the current debug levels
40 * allow it (both compile and run time).
42 * It follows that a call to d_test() that can be determined to be
43 * always false at compile time will get the code depending on it
44 * compiled out by optimization.
49 * It is up to the caller to define how much a debugging level is.
51 * Convention sets 0 as "no debug" (so an action marked as debug level 0
52 * will always be taken). The increasing debug levels are used for
53 * increased verbosity.
58 * Group the code in modules and submodules inside each module [which
59 * in most cases maps to Linux modules and .c files that compose
63 * For each module, there is:
65 * - a MODULENAME (single word, legal C identifier)
67 * - a debug-levels.h header file that declares the list of
68 * submodules and that is included by all .c files that use
69 * the debugging tools. The file name can be anything.
71 * - some (optional) .c code to manipulate the runtime debug levels
74 * The debug-levels.h file would look like:
76 * #ifndef __debug_levels__h__
77 * #define __debug_levels__h__
79 * #define D_MODULENAME modulename
82 * #include <linux/wimax/debug.h>
85 * D_SUBMODULE_DECLARE(submodule_1),
86 * D_SUBMODULE_DECLARE(submodule_2),
88 * D_SUBMODULE_DECLARE(submodule_N)
93 * D_MASTER is the maximum compile-time debug level; any debug actions
94 * above this will be out. D_MODULENAME is the module name (legal C
95 * identifier), which has to be unique for each module (to avoid
96 * namespace collisions during linkage). Note those #defines need to
97 * be done before #including debug.h
99 * We declare N different submodules whose debug level can be
100 * independently controlled during runtime.
102 * In a .c file of the module (and only in one of them), define the
105 * struct d_level D_LEVEL[] = {
106 * D_SUBMODULE_DEFINE(submodule_1),
107 * D_SUBMODULE_DEFINE(submodule_2),
109 * D_SUBMODULE_DEFINE(submodule_N),
111 * size_t D_LEVEL_SIZE = ARRAY_SIZE(D_LEVEL);
113 * Externs for d_level_MODULENAME and d_level_size_MODULENAME are used
114 * and declared in this file using the D_LEVEL and D_LEVEL_SIZE macros
115 * #defined also in this file.
117 * To manipulate from user space the levels, create a debugfs dentry
118 * and then register each submodule with:
120 * result = d_level_register_debugfs("PREFIX_", submodule_X, parent);
124 * Where PREFIX_ is a name of your chosing. This will create debugfs
125 * file with a single numeric value that can be use to tweak it. To
126 * remove the entires, just use debugfs_remove_recursive() on 'parent'.
128 * NOTE: remember that even if this will show attached to some
129 * particular instance of a device, the settings are *global*.
132 * On each submodule (for example, .c files), the debug infrastructure
133 * should be included like this:
135 * #define D_SUBMODULE submodule_x // matches one in debug-levels.h
136 * #include "debug-levels.h"
138 * after #including all your include files.
141 * Now you can use the d_*() macros below [d_test(), d_fnstart(),
142 * d_fnend(), d_printf(), d_dump()].
144 * If their debug level is greater than D_MASTER, they will be
147 * If their debug level is lower or equal than D_MASTER but greater
148 * than the current debug level of their submodule, they'll be
151 * Otherwise, the action will be performed.
