[PATCH 23/25] dynamic_debug: allow wildcard modname in boot-line query

[jim . cromie]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Allow use of "*.dyndbg=+p" in boot-line, to turn on all debugging.
This works almost exactly like ddebug_query="+p"; it enables all
callsites for builtin modules, but does so after ddebug_query=... is
processed, and in the order of given mod.dyndbg args.

IOW, these are equivalent:

  ddebug_query="+p"		foo.dyndbg=+p
  ddebug_query="" *.dyndbg=+p	foo.dyndbg=+p

So this turns on module, function, line flags on all callsites,
which can then be enabled separately:

  *.dyndbg="+mfl"

Note that order matters if flags are set rather than added (= not +),
these are slightly different:

  " foo.dyndbg=p *.dyndbg=+mf "
  " *.dyndbg=+mf foo.dyndbg=p "

This obsoletes the remaining usage of ddebug_query; module specific
uses of ddebug_query were already covered by modname.dyndbg="...".  It
may however offend the tastes of some, or perhaps "*" should be
spelled as "dynamic_debug".  Removing ddebug_query probably also needs
a deprecation cycle, so I've deferred.
