I'm seeing a bunch of debug prints from a user of print_hex_dump_bytes() in my kernel logs, but I don't have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled nor do I have DEBUG defined in my build. The problem is that print_hex_dump_bytes() calls a wrapper function in lib/hexdump.c that calls print_hex_dump() with KERN_DEBUG level. There are three cases to consider here 1. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y --> call dynamic_hex_dum() 2. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n && DEBUG --> call print_hex_dump() 3. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=n && !DEBUG --> stub it out Right now, that last case isn't detected and we still call print_hex_dump() from the stub wrapper. Let's make print_hex_dump_bytes() only call print_hex_dump_debug() so that it works properly in all cases. Case #1, print_hex_dump_debug() calls dynamic_hex_dump() and we get same behavior. Case #2, print_hex_dump_debug() calls print_hex_dump() with KERN_DEBUG and we get the same behavior. Case #3, print_hex_dump_debug() is a nop, changing behavior to what we want, i.e. print nothing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
