    dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk · e9d376f0
    Jason Baron authored
    This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
    printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
    
    The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
    (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
    control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
    file, module, format string, and line number.
    
    for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
    
    echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
    
    to disable them:
    
    echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
    
    A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.
