[PATCH 1/1] dyndbg: refine verbosity 1-4 summary-detail
From: Jim Cromie
Date: Tue Oct 19 2021 - 17:07:52 EST
adjust current v*pr_info() calls to fit an overview..detail scheme:
1- module level activity: add/remove, etc
2- command ingest, splitting, summary of effects.
per >control write
3- command parsing: op, flags, search terms
4- per-site change msg
can yield ~3k x 2 logs per echo "+p;-p" > command.
Summarize these 4 levels in MODULE_PARM_DESC, and update verbose=3 in Doc.
2- is new, to isolate a problem where a stress-test script (which
feeds ~4kb multi-command strings) would produce short writes,
truncating last command and causing parsing errors, which confused
test results. The script fix was to use syswrite, to deliver full
proper commands.
4- gets per-callsite "changed:" pr-infos, which are very noisy during
stress tests, and formerly obscured v1-3 messages, and overwhelmed the
static-key workload being tested.
The verbose parameter has previously seen adjustment:
commit 481c0e33f1e7 ("dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty")
The script driving these adjustments is:
!/usr/bin/perl -w
=for Doc
1st purpose was to benchmark the effect of wildcard queries on query
performance; if wildcards are risk free cheap enough, we can deploy
them in the (floating) format search. 1st finding: wildcards take 2x
as long to process.
2nd purpose was to benchmark real static-key changes VS simple flag
changes. Found ~100x decrease for the hard work.
The script maximizes workload per >control by packing it a ~4kb
string of "+p; -p;" commands; this uncovered some broken stuff.
The 85th query failed, and appears to be truncated, so is gramatically
incorrect. Its either an error here, or in the kernel. Its not
happening atm, retest.
Plot thickens: fail only happens doing +-p, not +-mf, likely load
dependent. Error remains consistent. Looks like a short write,
longer on writer than kernel-reader. Try syswrite on handle to
control this. That fixed short write.
