[RFC PATCH v2 0/4] rust: add support for dynamic debug
From: Andrew Ballance
Date: Fri Jun 20 2025 - 17:06:02 EST
This patch series adds support for dynamic debug to the rust
pr_debug! and dev_dbg! macros.
I have tested it and it and it does work but, there are a few
differences between this and the c version (hence why this is a rfc).
rust does not have an equivalent to the C __func__ macro. so, for the
time being this hard codes the function name to be the name of the
macro e.g. "pr_debug!" and "dev_dbg!".
This uses the module_path! macro to get the module name, which will not
be exactly the same as the c version if a kernel module defines a rust mod.
e.g. it might be "kernel_module_name::rust_module_name".
this does give a more accurate description of where the print statement
is located but it is not identical to what the c version does.
This patch series also had to make a small change to the jump_label module.
to add a STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE and updates the static_branch_unlikely
macro so that it allows keys that are nested multiple structs deep
within a static variable.

changes in v2:
- fix typos
- define and use STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE.
- use raw pointers to avoid undefined behavior
- use cleaner version of macro definition for nested arguments (thanks Alice)
