dynamic debug is "expecting pairs of match-spec " so the example
for all files of which the paths include "usb" there is "file" missing.Signed-off-by: Martin Kepplinger

This reverts commit 14775b04964264189caa4a0862eac05dab8c0502 as there
were still some parsing problems with it, and the follow-on patch for
it.Let's revisit it later, just drop it for now.

Current code expects "keyword" "arg" as 2 words, space separated.
Change to also accept "keyword=arg" form as well, and drop !(nwords%2)
requirement. Then in rest of function, use new keyword, arg variables
instead of word[i], word[i+1]Acked-by:

Accept these additional query forms:
echo "file $filestr +_" > control
path/to/file.c:100 # as from control, column 1
path/to/file.c:1-100 # or any legal line-range
path/to/file.c:func_A # as from an editor/browser
path/to/file.c:drm_* # wildcards still work
path/to/file.c:*_foo # lead wildcard too1st 2 examples are treated as line-ranges, 3-5 are treated as func's
Doc these changes, and sprinkle in a few extra wild-card examples and
trailing # explanation texts.Acked-by:

Regarding:
commit 2b6783191da7 ("dynamic_debug: add trim_prefix() to provide source-root relative paths")
commit a73619a845d5 ("kbuild: use -fmacro-prefix-map to make __FILE__ a relative path")2nd commit broke dynamic-debug's "file $fullpath" query form, but
nobody noticed because 1st commit had trimmed prefixes from
control-file output, so the click-copy-pasting of fullpaths into new
queries had ceased; that query form became unused.Removing the function is cleanest, but it could be useful in
old-compiler corner cases, where __FILE__ still has /full/path,
and it safely does nothing otherwize.So instead, quietly deprecate "file /full/path" query form, by
removing all /full/paths examples in the docs. I skipped adding a
back-compat note.Acked-by:

Instead of enabling dynamic debug globally with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG,
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only enable core function of dynamic
debug. With the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for any modules, dynamic
debug will be tied to them.This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for
kernel modules without worrying about kernel image size and memory
consumption is increasing too much.[orson.zhai@unisoc.com: v2]

With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems
is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and
more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic
debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for
its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be
disabled.To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in
procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for
individual driverfs and subsystems.Reported-by: many different companies
