Jim Cromie 0d4421f2cb dyndbg: let query-modname override actual module name
[ Upstream commit e75ef56f74965f426dd819a41336b640ffdd8fbc ]

dyndbg's control-parser: ddebug_parse_query(), requires that search
terms: module, func, file, lineno, are used only once in a query; a
thing cannot be named both foo and bar.

The cited commit added an overriding module modname, taken from the
module loader, which is authoritative.  So it set query.module 1st,
which disallowed its use in the query-string.

But now, its useful to allow a module-load to enable classes across a
whole (or part of) a subsystem at once.

  # enable (dynamic-debug in) drm only
  modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE +p"

  # get drm_helper too
  modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module drm* +p"

  # get everything that knows DRM_UT_CORE
  modprobe drm dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module * +p"

  # also for boot-args:
  drm.dyndbg="class DRM_UT_CORE module * +p"

So convert the override into a default, by filling it only when/after
the query-string omitted the module.

NB: the query class FOO handling is forthcoming.

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.
