Linux内核中dev_info、dev_dbg、dev_err及动态调试

2021-07-09 18:32:17 作者：互联网

概述

目前在kernel驱动代码中，都不再建议直接使用printk直接添加打印信息，而是使用dev_info，dev_dbg，dev_err之类的函数代替，虽然这些dev_xxx函数的本质还是使用printk打印的，但是相比起printk：

支持打印模块信息、dev信息
支持动态调试(dynamic debug)方式

下面简述下这几个dev_xxx函数的基本使用规则，以及动态调试使用方式。

dev_info()：启动过程、或者模块加载过程等“通知类的”信息等，一般只会通知一次，例如probe函数;
dev_dbg()：一般使用在普通错误，如-EINVAL、-ENOMEM等errno发生处，用于调试;
dev_err()：一般使用在严重错误，尤其是用户无法得到errno的地方，或者程序员不容易猜测系统哪里出了问题的地方;

动态调试使用方法

打开内核动态调试开关，make menuconfig选中CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG以及CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
Linux启动后，使用命令行挂载上dbgfs

mkdir /mnt/dbg 
mount -t debugfs none /mnt/dbg

使用下面方式控制你想输出dev_dbg()信息
1.控制某个文件所有dev_dbg()，echo -n "file xxx.c +p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control
2.控制某个函数所有dev_dbg()，echo -n "func xxx +p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control
运行程序，使用dmesg则可以看到相应dev_dbg()的输出信息
当调试结束，不再想输出dev_dbg()信息了，使用下面命令关闭即可
1.echo -n "file xxx.c -p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control
2.echo -n "func xxx -p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control

例子

echo -n "file ca_dsc_core.c +p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control 则打印ca_dsc_core.c所有的dev_dbg()信息 
echo -n "func ca_dsc_read +p" > /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control 则打印ca_dsc_read()函数所有dev_dbg()信息

动态打印调试的基本原理

当编译选项CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG打开的时候，在编译阶段，kernel会把所有使用dev_dbg()的信息记录在一个table中，这些信息我们可以从/mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control解析出来：

# cat /mnt/dbg/dynamic_debug/control

以其中一条为例子：

drivers/alidrivers/modules/alidsc/ca_dsc_core.c:800 [alidsc]ca_dsc_probe_dt =_ "get dev-index error12" 则不会打印 
drivers/alidrivers/modules/alidsc/ca_dsc_core.c:800 [alidsc]ca_dsc_probe_dt =p "get dev-index error12" 则会打印

所以在应用层，用户就可以通过使用echo来控制dynamic_debug/control文件，进而控制是否打印某个dev_dbg()信息!

dev_dbg()对于分析某些内核子系统或者驱动流程也十分有意义，例如，使能net/ipv4/ping.c的调试开关，则可以观测ping的运行原理。

代码分析

从代码角度，也很容易看出dev_dbg()的设计：

 include/linux/device.h include/linux/dynamic_debug.h lib/dynamic_debug.c 

    //使能CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG后则根据control信息动态打印 
    #if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG) 
     #define dev_dbg(dev, format, ...)        
     do {            
      dynamic_dev_dbg(dev, format, ##__VA_ARGS__);  
     } while (0) 
    //使能DEBUG，则打印整个kernel的dev_dbg信息 
    #elif defined(DEBUG) 
     #define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...)   
      dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, format, ##arg) 
    //都不使能，dev_dbg不打印任何东西 
    #else 
     #define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...)     
     ({         
      if (0)        
       dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, format, ##arg);  
      0;        
     }) 
    #endif

下面的dynamic_dev_dbg()实现显然可以看出，打印是根据descriptor的标志位_DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT进行打印的，而标志位是可以通过dbgfs进行控制的。

#define dynamic_dev_dbg(dev, fmt, ...)     
do {         
 DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA(descriptor, fmt);   
 if (unlikely(descriptor.flags & _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PRINT))  
  __dynamic_dev_dbg(&descriptor, dev, fmt,  
      ##__VA_ARGS__);   
} while (0)

好处

开发版本，打开CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG和CONFIG_DEBUG_FS，配合dbgfs动态观测和调试内核代码;
正式版本，关闭CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG和CONFIG_DEBUG_FS，所有dbgfs以及dev_dbg信息都从编译阶段自动移除;
