linux kernel printk log(以及dev_dbg)

本文链接：https://blog.csdn.net/u012247418/article/details/108475583

The smaller the num value, the higher the log priority.

1. view loglevel

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

9 4 1 7

9: console_loglevel, messages with a priority higher than this value are printed to the console

4: default_message_loglevel, default priority if printk without priority, for example: printk("hello")

1: minimum_console_loglevel, The minimum value at which the console log level can be set

7: default_console_loglevel, default console log level

linux/kernel/printk.c

int console_printk[4] = {

CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, /* console_loglevel */

MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, /* default_message_loglevel */

CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_MIN, /* minimum_console_loglevel */

CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, /* default_console_loglevel */

};

all kernel log will be printed to console since console_loglevel is 9(>7).

Note, kernel will print all log which loglevel highter than console_loglevel, except dev_dbg. if we want to enable dev_dbg, make sure to definite DEBUG micro in corresponding driver module. so, every driver module can enable dev_dbg respectively.

2. modify loglevel

2.1 dts bootargs

arch/arm64/boot/dts/megvii/mc40_haps.dts

loglevel = 9

set console_loglevel(console_printk[0]) as 9

console_loglevel(console_printk[0]) will be equivalent to CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT(default_console_loglevel) if there is no loglevel in bootargs.

like this:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

7 4 1 7

2.2 echo x > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

disable dev_dbg:

# echo 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

7 4 1 7

enable all log(include dev_dbg):

# echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

8 4 1 7

support this:

# echo 7 3 2 6 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk

7 3 2 6

2.3 kernel config

1) Default console loglevel (1-15)

CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

Default loglevel to determine what will be printed on the console.

Setting a default here is equivalent to passing in loglevel=<x> in

the kernel bootargs. loglevel=<x> continues to override whatever

value is specified here as well.

2) Default message log level (1-7)

MESSAGE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

Default log level for printk statements with no specified priority.

This was hard-coded to KERN_WARNING since at least 2.6.10 but folks

that are auditing their logs closely may want to set it to a lower priority.

2.4 a bad method

modify DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL in kernel/printk/printk.c

3. dev_dbg

3.1 definition

include/linux/device.h

#if defined(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, format, ...)                    \
do {                                                 \
        dynamic_dev_dbg(dev, format, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} while (0)
#elif defined(DEBUG)
#define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...)            \
        dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, format, ##arg)
#else
#define dev_dbg(dev, format, arg...)                            \
({                                                              \
        if (0)                                                  \
                dev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, dev, format, ##arg);     \
})
#endif

1) if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG

see chapter 4.

2) if DEBUG

enable dev_dbg

3) else

disable dev_dbg

3.2 enable dev_dbg info

1) add micro DEBUG in driver module

add EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DDEBUG in Makefile of driver module

for example: enable dev_dbg in usb host driver

add add EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DDEBUG in drivers/usb/host/Makefile

Note, if we need to enable dev_dbg for one or several special file, we can add #define DEBUG 1 at start of file.
