903 Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 906 Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/ddebug' file,
904 dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that 907 which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
905 can be enabled. The format of the file is the module name, followed 908 filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
906 by a set of flags that can be enabled. The first flag is always the 909 We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug. This
907 'enabled' flag. For example: 910 file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
911 format for each line of the file is:
908 912
909 <module_name> <enabled=0/1> 913 filename:lineno [module]function flags format
910 .
911 .
912 .
913 914
914 <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides 915 filename : source file of the debug statement
915 <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not 916 lineno : line number of the debug statement
917 module : module that contains the debug statement
918 function : function that contains the debug statement
919 flags : 'p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
920 format : the format used for the debug statement

940 debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above 957 help
941 disable command. 958 Enable this option to debug the use of the DMA API by device drivers.
959 With this option you will be able to detect common bugs in device
960 drivers like double-freeing of DMA mappings or freeing mappings that
961 were never allocated.
962 This option causes a performance degredation. Use only if you want
963 to debug device drivers. If unsure, say N.
