[PATCH 06/25] dynamic_debug: process multiple commands on a line

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Mon Jul 25 2011 - 17:43:34 EST


Process multiple commands per line, separated by ';' or '\n'.
All commands are processed, independent of errors, allowing individual
commands to fail, for example when a module is not installed. Errors
are counted, and last error code is returned.

With this, extensive command sets can be given on the boot-line.

Splitting on '\n' allows "cat cmd-file > /dbg/dynamic_debug/control"
where cmd-file contains multiple queries, one per line. Empty commands
are skipped, allowing ";\n\n" to not count as errors.

Splitting on '\n' prevents its use in a format-spec, but thats not very
useful anyway, searching for meaningful and selective substrings is typical.

Also allow comment lines, starting with '#', with optional leading whitespace.
Trailing comments are allowed, if preceded by ';' which terminates
the command on the line. For example:

root@voyage:~# cat debugfs-file

# blank lines ok
module dynamic_debug +p ; # turn on self-debugging
# these are quite noisy when grepping
# $DEBUGFS/dynamic_debug/{control,pending}
# silence them (also, leading spaces allowed in comments)
func ddebug_proc_show -p
func ddebug_proc_next -p ; # trailing comments need cmd terminator
func pending_proc_show -p ; # TB added later. gives error, harmless.
func pending_proc_next -p

root@voyage:~# cat debugfs-file > /dbg/dynamic_debug/control
split into words: "module" "dynamic_debug" "+p"
changed $srcpath/lib/dynamic_debug.c:223 [dynamic_debug]ddebug_change =p
changed $srcpath/lib/dynamic_debug.c:576 [dynamic_debug]ddebug_save_pending =p
