[RFC PATCH v2 19/19] dyndbg: try DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE

From: Jim Cromie
Date: Fri Dec 25 2020 - 15:21:51 EST


Test DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE, in i915.ko, by adding an invocation
into i915_drv.c, the 1st object built in the Makefile. This does
manually what can perhaps be done transparently in headers (hopefully).

DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE is based on DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA;
just like its model, it creates a pair of structs: _ddebug &
_ddebug_callsite, and inits them with format="0000", lineno=0.

This:
- identifies it clearly in control output
- appears to place it 1st in the section(s)
it works here, at least for modprobed module
1st-to-build might be the real reason for the sort.

drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.c:0 [i915](null) =_ "0000"
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/gvt.c:437 [i915]intel_gvt_register_hypervisor =_ "gvt: core: Running with hypervisor %s
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/gvt.c:378 [i915]intel_gvt_init_device =_ "gvt: core: gvt device initialization is done\0

other big diff between DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_TABLE/_METADATA:
- not static decls.
removing static made the line appear in control output (below).
(cuz it might be reffd elsewhere, so its linked).
we want this.

it also needs to be visible where DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA is
used, so it can be used to initialize .module_index, ie in many other
objects where pr_debugs are coded.

A peek inside i915_drv.o looks about right; i915_site is expected at least.

Relocation section '.rela__dyndbg' at offset 0x6f48 contains 2 entries:
