s390: include/asm/debug.h add kerneldoc markups
Instead of keeping the documentation inside s390dbf.rst, move them to arch/s390/include/asm/debug.h, using standard kernel-doc markups. Keeping the documentation close to the code helps to keep it updated. It also makes easier to document other stuff inside debug.h, as all it needs is to add kernel-doc markups inside it, as the file will be already be included at the produced documentation. - Those were converted to kerneldoc using this script specially designed to parse ths file, and manually editted: <script> use strict; my $mode = ""; my $parameter = ""; my $ret = ""; my $descr = ""; sub add_var($) { my $ln = shift; $ln =~ s/^\s+//; $ln =~ s/\s+$//; return if ($ln eq ""); $ln =~ s/^(\S+)\s+/$1\t/; print " * \@$ln\n"; } sub add_return($) { my $ln = shift; print " *\n * Return:\n" if ($mode ne "Return Value:"); $ln =~ s/^\s+//; $ln =~ s/\s+$//; return if ($ln eq ""); print " * - $ln\n"; } sub add_description($) { my $ln = shift; print " *\n * \n" if ($mode ne "Description:"); $ln =~ s/^\s+//; $ln =~ s/\s+$//; return if ($ln eq ""); print " * $ln\n"; } sub flush_results() { print " */\n\n"; } while (<>) { if (m/^[\-]+$/) { flush_results(); $mode = ""; $parameter = ""; $ret = ""; $descr = ""; next; } if (m/(Parameter:)(.*)/) { print " *\n" if ($mode eq "func"); add_var($2); $mode = $1; next; } if (m/(Return Value:)(.*)/) { add_return($2); $mode = $1; next; } if (m/(Description:)(.*)/) { add_description($2); $mode = $1; next; } if ($mode eq "Parameter:") { add_var($_); next; } if ($mode eq "Return Value:") { add_return($_); next; } if ($mode eq "Description:") { add_description($_); next; } next if (m/^\s*$/); if (m/^\S+.*\s\*?(\S+)\s*\(/) { if ($mode eq "") { print "/**\n * $1()\n"; } else { print " * $1()\n"; } $mode="func"; } } flush_results(); </script> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

-Changing the debug level
-------------------------
-
-Example::
-
-
- > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
- 3
- > echo "5" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
- > cat /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
- 5
-
-Flushing debug areas
---------------------
-Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
-area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
-are flushed.
-
-Examples:
-
-1. Flush debug area 0::
-
- > echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-2. Flush all debug areas::
-
- > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
-
-Changing the size of debug areas
-------------------------------------
-It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
-the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
-also flush the debug areas.
-
-Example:
-
-Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd"::
-
- > echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
-
-Stooping the debug feature
---------------------------
-Example:
-
-1. Check if stopping is allowed::
-
- > cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
-
-2. Stop debug feature::
-
- > echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
-
-lcrash Interface
-----------------
-It is planned that the dump analysis tool lcrash gets an additional command
-'s390dbf' to display all the debug logs. With this tool it will be possible
-to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
-a system crash.
-
-Investigating raw memory
-------------------------
-One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
-system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
-under VM or at the Service Element.
-It is possible to find the anker of the debug-logs through
-the 'debug_area_first' symbol in the System map. Then one has
-to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
-in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
-Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
-a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
-this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
-memory.
-
-For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
-for the length of the data field in debug_register() in
-order to see the debug entries well formatted.
-
-
-Predefined Views
-----------------
-
-There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
-The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
-(e.g. '45 43 4b 44 | ECKD').
-The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
-
-The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
-function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
-debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
-and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
-string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
-byte data area in the debug_register() function.
-
-IMPORTANT:
- Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only
- use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string
- is available as long as the debug feature exists. The reason behind this is
- that due to performance considerations only a pointer to the string is stored
- in the debug feature. If you log a string that is freed afterwards, you will
- get an OOPS when inspecting the debug feature, because then the debug feature
- will access the already freed memory.
-
-NOTE:
- If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
- than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
-
-The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
-
-- Number of area
-- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
- Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
-- level of debug entry
-- Exception flag (* = Exception)
-- Cpu-Number of calling task
-- Return Address to caller
-- data field
-
-The format of the raw view is:
-
-- Header as described in debug.h
-- datafield
-
-A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
-is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view):
-
-area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

-
-Defining views
---------------
-
-Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
-callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files::
-
- struct debug_view {
- char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
- debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
- debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
- debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
- debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
- void* private_data;
- };
-
-where::
-
- typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- int area,
- debug_entry_t* entry,
- char* out_buf);
-
- typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
- const char* in_buf);
- typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- char* out_buf);
- typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
- struct debug_view* view,
- struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
- size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
-
-
-The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
-It is not used by the debug feature itself.
-
-The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this::
-
- "prolog_proc output"
-
- "header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
- "header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
- "header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
- ...
-
-When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
-'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
-Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
-existing debug entry.
-
-The input_proc can be used to implement functionality when it is written to
-the view (e.g. like with 'echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level).
-
-For header_proc there can be used the default function
-debug_dflt_header_fn() which is defined in debug.h.
-and which produces the same header output as the predefined views.
-E.g::
-
- 00 00964419409:440761 2 - 00 88023ec
-
-In order to see how to use the callback functions check the implementation
-of the default views!
-
-Example::
-
- #include <asm/debug.h>
-
- #define UNKNOWNSTR "data: %08x"
-
- const char* messages[] =
- {"This error...........\n",
- "That error...........\n",
- "Problem..............\n",
- "Something went wrong.\n",
- "Everything ok........\n",
- NULL
- };
-
- static int debug_test_format_fn(
- debug_info_t * id, struct debug_view *view,
- char *out_buf, const char *in_buf
- )
- {
- int i, rc = 0;
-
- if(id->buf_size >= 4) {
- int msg_nr = *((int*)in_buf);
- if(msg_nr < sizeof(messages)/sizeof(char*) - 1)
- rc += sprintf(out_buf, "%s", messages[msg_nr]);
- else
- rc += sprintf(out_buf, UNKNOWNSTR, msg_nr);
- }
- out:
- return rc;
- }
-
- struct debug_view debug_test_view = {
- "myview", /* name of view */
- NULL, /* no prolog */
- &debug_dflt_header_fn, /* default header for each entry */
- &debug_test_format_fn, /* our own format function */
- NULL, /* no input function */
- NULL /* no private data */
