drm_debug_enabled() is called a lot to do unlikely bit-tests to
control debug printing; this is a good job for dynamic-debug, IFF it
is built with JUMP_LABEL.
Enable the use of dynamic-debug to avoid drm_debug_enabled()
overheads, opt in with CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y.
I have this patchset running bare-metal on an i915 laptop & an amdgpu
desktop (both as loadable modules).
I booted the amdgpu box with:
BOOT_IMAGE=(hd2,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.13.0-dd7-13692-g8def25788f56 \
root=UUID=mumble ro \
rootflags=subvol=root00 rhgb \
dynamic_debug.verbose=3 main.dyndbg=+p \
amdgpu.debug=1 amdgpu.test=1 \
"amdgpu.dyndbg=format ^[ +p"
That last line activates ~1700 callsites with a format like '[DML' etc
at boot, causing ~76k prdbgs in 409 seconds, before I turned them off
with:
echo module amdgpu -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
[root@gandalf jimc]# journalctl -b-0 | grep -P
'\[(DML|VBLANK|SURFACE|BIOS|BANDWIDTH)' | wc
68708 578503 5054437
[root@gandalf jimc]# journalctl -b-0 | grep -P
'\[(DML|VBLANK|SURFACE|BIOS|BANDWIDTH|\w+)' | wc
76298 661176 6028087
IOW, things appear to hold up under some stress.
