[PATCH 1/2] kernel/async.c: stop guarding pr_debug() statements

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Tue Mar 09 2021 - 10:18:22 EST


It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print
something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable
tons of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition
further means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later.

Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not
change, so there are W=2 warnings

kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: ‘calltime’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: ‘starttime’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print
their messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"'
command line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug()
compiles to nothing.

This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime
value, but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided
by factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk()
arguments end up being evaluated.

Andrew, this one is of course on top of
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210226124355.2503524-1-linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
which you already applied.
