introduce fd_file(), convert all accessors to it.
For any changes of struct fd representation we need to turn existing accesses to fields into calls of wrappers. Accesses to struct fd::flags are very few (3 in linux/file.h, 1 in net/socket.c, 3 in fs/overlayfs/file.c and 3 more in explicit initializers). Those can be dealt with in the commit converting to new layout; accesses to struct fd::file are too many for that. This commit converts (almost) all of f.file to fd_file(f). It's not entirely mechanical ('file' is used as a member name more than just in struct fd) and it does not even attempt to distinguish the uses in pointer context from those in boolean context; the latter will be eventually turned into a separate helper (fd_empty()). NOTE: mass conversion to fd_empty(), tempting as it might be, is a bad idea; better do that piecewise in commit that convert from fdget...() to CLASS(...).

module: make waiting for a concurrent module loader interruptible
The recursive aes-arm-bs module load situation reported by Russell King is getting fixed in the crypto layer, but this in the meantime fixes the "recursive load hangs forever" by just making the waiting for the first module load be interruptible. This should now match the old behavior before commit |

module, bpf: Store BTF base pointer in struct module
...as this will allow split BTF modules with a base BTF representation (rather than the full vmlinux BTF at time of BTF encoding) to resolve their references to kernel types in a way that is more resilient to small changes in kernel types. This will allow modules that are not built every time the kernel is to provide more resilient BTF, rather than have it invalidated every time BTF ids for core kernel types change. Fields are ordered to avoid holes in struct module.

mm/execmem, arch: convert remaining overrides of module_alloc to execmem
Extend execmem parameters to accommodate more complex overrides of module_alloc() by architectures. This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64 and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for late initialization of execmem required by arm64. The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range defined.

mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()
module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code. Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code. Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation. Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() APIs. Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all call sites to use the new APIs. Since architectures define different restrictions on placement, permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that subsystem. No functional changes.

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios" "mm: convert mm counter to take a folio" - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree". - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some swap-intensive situations. - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest. - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()". - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged as system memory. - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups", which does that. - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable" "selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases" "Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements" "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself" - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments appearing with CXL. - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute". - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests". - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol") format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party tools to parse and process out selftesting results. - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process has a large number of pte-mapped folios. - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice. - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work. - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code. - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test", Mark Brown did what the title claims. - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring". - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend zswap kselftests" does as claimed. - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary. - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain userfaultfd operations. - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador in his series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations" "page_owner: Fixup and cleanup" - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark. - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items". - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series "mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration" "mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()" - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction". - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator". - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock". - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios". - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove total_mapcount()", a cleanup. - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing". - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot" provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages. - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that. - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that also.

Series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios" "mm: convert mm counter to take a folio" - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree". - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some swap-intensive situations. - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest. - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()". - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged as system memory. - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups", which does that. - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable" "selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases" "Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements" "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself" - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather than uniformly.

Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party tools to parse and process out selftesting results. - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process has a large number of pte-mapped folios. - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice. - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work. - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code. - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test", Mark Brown did what the title claims. - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring". - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend zswap kselftests" does as claimed. - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data caches.

This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction". - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator". - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock". - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios.

modules: wait do_free_init correctly
The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module init so that it happens before W+X checking. It is worth noting it is not that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already gone. Commit |

module: Don't ignore errors from set_memory_XX()
set_memory_ro(), set_memory_nx(), set_memory_x() and other helpers can fail and return an error. In that case the memory might not be protected as expected and the module loading has to be aborted to avoid security issues. Check return value of all calls to set_memory_XX() and handle error if any. Add a check to not call set_memory_XX() on NULL pointers as some architectures may not like it allthough numpages is always 0 in that case. This also avoid a useless call to set_vm_flush_reset_perms().

module: Expose module_init_layout_section()
module_init_layout_section() choses whether the core module loader
considers a section as init or not. This affects the placement of the
exit section when module unloading is disabled. This code will never run,
so it can be free()d once the module has been initialised.
arm and arm64 need to count the number of PLTs they need before applying
relocations based on the section name. The init PLTs are stored separately
so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to
decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation.
Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading
is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when
counting the PLTs.
Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is
disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some
modules, resulting in warnings:

module: fix init_module_from_file() error handling
Vegard Nossum pointed out two different problems with the error handling
in init_module_from_file():
(a) the idempotent loading code didn't clean up properly in some error
cases, leaving the on-stack 'struct idempotent' element still in
the hash table
(b) failure to read the module file would nonsensically update the
'invalid_kread_bytes' stat counter with the error value
The first error is quite nasty, in that it can then cause subsequent
idempotent loads of that same file to access stale stack contents of the
previous failure. The case may not happen in any normal situation
(explaining all the "Tested-by's on the original change), and requires
admin privileges, but syzkaller triggers random bad behavior as a
result:
BUG: soft lockup in sys_finit_module
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in init_module_from_file
general protection fault in init_module_from_file
INFO: task hung in init_module_from_file
KASAN: out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds Read in init_module_from_file
...
The second error is fairly benign and just leads to nonsensical stats
(and has been around since the debug stats were added).
Vegard also provided a patch for the idempotent loading issue, but I'd
rather re-organize the code and make it more legible using another level
of helper functions than add the usual "goto out" error handling.

module: avoid allocation if module is already present and ready
The finit_module() system call can create unnecessary virtual memory pressure for duplicate modules. This is because load_module() can in the worse case allocate more than twice the size of a module in virtual memory. This saves at least a full size of the module in wasted vmalloc space memory by trying to avoid duplicates as soon as we can validate the module name in the read module structure. This can only be an issue if a system is getting hammered with userspace loading modules. There are two ways to load modules typically on systems, one is the kernel moduile auto-loading (*request_module*() calls in-kernel) and the other is things like udev. The auto-loading is in-kernel, but that pings back to userspace to just call modprobe. We already have a way to restrict the amount of concurrent kernel auto-loads in a given time, however that still allows multiple requests for the same module to go through and force two threads in userspace racing to call modprobe for the same exact module. Even though libkmod which both modprobe and udev does check if a module is already loaded prior calling finit_module() races are still possible and this is clearly evident today when you have multiple CPUs. To avoid memory pressure for such stupid cases put a stop gap for them. The *earliest* we can detect duplicates from the modules side of things is once we have blessed the module name, sadly after the first vmalloc allocation. We can check for the module being present *before* a secondary vmalloc() allocation. There is a linear relationship between wasted virtual memory bytes and the number of CPU counts. The reason is that udev ends up racing to call tons of the same modules for each of the CPUs. We can see the different linear relationships between wasted virtual memory and CPU count during after boot in the following graph: +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 14GB |-+ + + + + *+ +-| | **** | | *** | | ** | 12GB |-+ ** +-| | ** | | ** | | ** | | ** | 10GB |-+ ** +-| | ** | | ** | | ** | 8GB |-+ ** +-| waste | ** ### | | ** #### | | ** ####### | 6GB |-+ **** #### +-| | * #### | | * #### | | ***** #### | 4GB |-+ ** #### +-| | ** #### | | ** #### | | ** #### | 2GB |-+ ** ##### +-| | * #### | | * #### Before ******* | | **## + + + + After ####### | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 CPUs count On the y-axis we can see gigabytes of wasted virtual memory during boot due to duplicate module requests which just end up failing. Trying to infer the slope this ends up being about ~463 MiB per CPU lost prior to this patch. After this patch we only loose about ~230 MiB per CPU, for a total savings of about ~233 MiB per CPU. This is all *just on bootup*! On a 8vcpu 8 GiB RAM system using kdevops and testing against selftests kmod.sh -t 0008 I see a saving in the *highest* side of memory consumption of up to ~ 84 MiB with the Linux kernel selftests kmod test 0008. With the new stress-ng module test I see a 145 MiB difference in max memory consumption with 100 ops. The stress-ng module ops tests can be pretty pathalogical -- it is not realistic, however it was used to finally successfully reproduce issues which are only reported to happen on system with over 400 CPUs [0] by just usign 100 ops on a 8vcpu 8 GiB RAM system. Running out of virtual memory space is no surprise given the above graph, since at least on x86_64 we're capped at 128 MiB, eventually we'd hit a series of errors and once can use the above graph to guestimate when. This of course will vary depending on the features you have enabled. So for instance, enabling KASAN seems to make this much worse.

module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure
Loading modules with finit_module() can end up using vmalloc(), vmap() and vmalloc() again, for a total of up to 3 separate allocations in the worst case for a single module. We always kernel_read*() the module, that's a vmalloc(). Then vmap() is used for the module decompression, and if so the last read buffer is freed as we use the now decompressed module buffer to stuff data into our copy module. The last allocation is specific to each architectures but pretty much that's generally a series of vmalloc() calls or a variation of vmalloc to handle ELF sections with special permissions. Evaluation with new stress-ng module support [1] with just 100 ops is proving that you can end up using GiBs of data easily even with all care we have in the kernel and userspace today in trying to not load modules which are already loaded. 100 ops seems to resemble the sort of pressure a system with about 400 CPUs can create on module loading. Although issues relating to duplicate module requests due to each CPU inucurring a new module reuest is silly and some of these are being fixed, we currently lack proper tooling to help diagnose easily what happened, when it happened and who likely is to blame -- userspace or kernel module autoloading. Provide an initial set of stats which use debugfs to let us easily scrape post-boot information about failed loads. This sort of information can be used on production worklaods to try to optimize *avoiding* redundant memory pressure using finit_module(). There's a few examples that can be provided: A 255 vCPU system without the next patch in this series applied: Startup finished in 19.143s (kernel) + 7.078s (userspace) = 26.221s graphical.target reached after 6.988s in userspace And 13.58 GiB of virtual memory space lost due to failed module loading: root@big ~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/modules/stats Mods ever loaded 67 Mods failed on kread 0 Mods failed on decompress 0 Mods failed on becoming 0 Mods failed on load 1411 Total module size 11464704 Total mod text size 4194304 Failed kread bytes 0 Failed decompress bytes 0 Failed becoming bytes 0 Failed kmod bytes 14588526272 Virtual mem wasted bytes 14588526272 Average mod size 171115 Average mod text size 62602 Average fail load bytes 10339140 Duplicate failed modules: module-name How-many-times Reason kvm_intel 249 Load kvm 249 Load irqbypass 8 Load crct10dif_pclmul 128 Load ghash_clmulni_intel 27 Load sha512_ssse3 50 Load sha512_generic 200 Load aesni_intel 249 Load crypto_simd 41 Load cryptd 131 Load evdev 2 Load serio_raw 1 Load virtio_pci 3 Load nvme 3 Load nvme_core 3 Load virtio_pci_legacy_dev 3 Load virtio_pci_modern_dev 3 Load t10_pi 3 Load virtio 3 Load crc32_pclmul 6 Load crc64_rocksoft 3 Load crc32c_intel 40 Load virtio_ring 3 Load crc64 3 Load The following screen shot, of a simple 8vcpu 8 GiB KVM guest with the next patch in this series applied, shows 226.53 MiB are wasted in virtual memory allocations which due to duplicate module requests during boot. It also shows an average module memory size of 167.10 KiB and an an average module .text + .init.text size of 61.13 KiB. The end shows all modules which were detected as duplicate requests and whether or not they failed early after just the first kernel_read*() call or late after we've already allocated the private space for the module in layout_and_allocate(). A system with module decompression would reveal more wasted virtual memory space. We should put effort now into identifying the source of these duplicate module requests and trimming these down as much possible. Larger systems will obviously show much more wasted virtual memory allocations. root@kmod ~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/modules/stats Mods ever loaded 67 Mods failed on kread 0 Mods failed on decompress 0 Mods failed on becoming 83 Mods failed on load 16 Total module size 11464704 Total mod text size 4194304 Failed kread bytes 0 Failed decompress bytes 0 Failed becoming bytes 228959096 Failed kmod bytes 8578080 Virtual mem wasted bytes 237537176 Average mod size 171115 Average mod text size 62602 Avg fail becoming bytes 2758544 Average fail load bytes 536130 Duplicate failed modules: module-name How-many-times Reason kvm_intel 7 Becoming kvm 7 Becoming irqbypass 6 Becoming & Load crct10dif_pclmul 7 Becoming & Load ghash_clmulni_intel 7 Becoming & Load sha512_ssse3 6 Becoming & Load sha512_generic 7 Becoming & Load aesni_intel 7 Becoming crypto_simd 7 Becoming & Load cryptd 3 Becoming & Load evdev 1 Becoming serio_raw 1 Becoming nvme 3 Becoming nvme_core 3 Becoming t10_pi 3 Becoming virtio_pci 3 Becoming crc32_pclmul 6 Becoming & Load crc64_rocksoft 3 Becoming crc32c_intel 3 Becoming virtio_pci_modern_dev 2 Becoming virtio_pci_legacy_dev 1 Becoming crc64 2 Becoming virtio 2 Becoming virtio_ring 2 Becoming [0] https://github.com/ColinIanKing/stress-ng.git [1] echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/oom_dump_tasks ./stress-ng --module 100 --module-name xfs Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> |

module: extract patient module check into helper
The patient module check inside add_unformed_module() is large enough as we need it. It is a bit hard to read too, so just move it to a helper and do the inverse checks first to help shift the code and make it easier to read. The new helper then is module_patient_check_exists(). To make this work we need to mvoe the finished_loading() up, we do that without making any functional changes to that routine.

module: add sanity check for ELF module section
The ELF ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" section is special, it is what we use to construct the struct module __this_module, which THIS_MODULE points to. When userspace loads a module we always deal first with a copy of the userspace buffer, and twiddle with the userspace copy's version of the struct module. Eventually we allocate memory to do a memcpy() of that struct module, under the assumption that the module size is right. But we have no validity checks against the size or the requirements for the section. Add some validity checks for the special module section early and while at it, cache the module section index early, so we don't have to do that later. While at it, just move over the assigment of the info->mod to make the code clearer. The validity checker also adds an explicit size check to ensure the module section size matches the kernel's run time size for sizeof(struct module). This should prevent sloppy loads of modules which are built today *without* actually increasing the size of the struct module. A developer today can for example expand the size of struct module, rebuild a directoroy 'make fs/xfs/' for example and then try to insmode the driver there. That module would in effect have an incorrect size. This new size check would put a stop gap against such mistakes. This also makes the entire goal of ".gnu.linkonce.this_module" pretty clear. Before this patch verification of the goal / intent required some Indian Jones whips, torches and cleaning up big old spider webs. Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> |

module: split taint adding with info checking
check_modinfo() actually does two things: a) sanity checks, some of which are fatal, and so we prevent the user from completing trying to load a module b) taints the kernel The taints are pretty heavy handed because we're tainting the kernel *before* we ever even get to load the module into the modules linked list. That is, it it can fail for other reasons later as we review the module's structure. But this commit makes no functional changes, it just makes the intent clearer and splits the code up where needed to make that happen. Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> |

dyndbg: use the module notifier callbacks
Bring dynamic debug in line with other subsystems by using the module notifier callbacks. This results in a net decrease in core module code. Additionally, Jim Cromie has a new dynamic debug classmap feature, which requires that jump labels be initialized prior to dynamic debug. Specifically, the new feature toggles a jump label from the existing dynamic_debug_setup() function. However, this does not currently work properly, because jump labels are initialized via the 'module_notify_list' notifier chain, which is invoked after the current call to dynamic_debug_setup(). Thus, this patch ensures that jump labels are initialized prior to dynamic debug by setting the dynamic debug notifier priority to 0, while jump labels have the higher priority of 1. Tested by Jim using his new test case, and I've verfied the correct printing via: # modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg.
