Add module-to-class validation: #> echo class DRM_UT_KMS +p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control If a query has "class FOO", then ddebug_find_valid_class(), called from ddebug_change(), requires that FOO is known to module X, otherwize the query is skipped entirely for X. This protects each module's class-space, other than the default:31. The authors' choice of FOO is highly selective, giving isolation and/or coordinated sharing of FOOs. For example, only DRM modules should know and respond to DRM_UT_KMS. So this, combined with module's opt-in declaration of known classes, effectively privatizes the .class_id space for each module (or coordinated set of modules). Notes: For all "class FOO" queries, ddebug_find_valid_class() is called, it returns the map matching the query, and sets valid_class via an *outvar). If no "class FOO" is supplied, valid_class = _CLASS_DFLT. This insures that legacy queries do not trample on new class'd callsites, as they get added. Also add a new column to control-file output, displaying non-default class-name (when found) or the "unknown _id:", if it has not been (correctly) declared with one of the declarator macros.

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.
