    Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.

    This allows more natural specification when using the control language
    to match against printk formats, e.g

    #echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
    /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

    instead of

    #echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
    /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

    Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
    new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
    reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
    control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

  • e9d376f0f   dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk ... Browse Code »

    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.
