ACPI: update debug parameter documentation
Reformat acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level documentation so it's more readable, add some clues about how to figure out the mask bits that enable a specific ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT statement, and include some useful examples. Move the list of masks to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt (these are copies of the authoritative values in acoutput.h and acpi_drivers.h).

ACPI Debug Output
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
|
||||
output. This document describes how to use this facility.
|
||||
|
||||
Compile-time configuration
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config
|
||||
option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the
|
||||
kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Boot- and run-time configuration
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
|
||||
you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
|
||||
acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the
|
||||
debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control
|
||||
the debug messages.
|
||||
|
||||
debug_layer (component)
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a
|
||||
specific driver or part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer
|
||||
bitmask, look for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file.
|
||||
|
||||
You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer
|
||||
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
|
||||
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
|
||||
|
||||
The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h and
|
||||
include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h. Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
|
||||
shows the supported mask values, currently these:
|
||||

debug_level
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g.,
|
||||
those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc.
|
||||
To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
|
||||
statement.
|
||||
|
||||
The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux
|
||||
ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO.
|
||||
|
||||
You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level
|
||||
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
|
||||
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
|
||||
|
||||
The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. Reading
|
||||
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values,
|
||||
currently these:
|
||||
|
||||
ACPI_LV_INIT 0x00000001

Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
For example, drivers/acpi/bus.c contains this:
|
||||
|
||||
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
|
||||
...
|
||||
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Device insertion detected\n"));
|
||||
|
||||
To turn on this message, set the ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT bit in acpi.debug_layer
|
||||
and the ACPI_LV_INFO bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
|
||||
statement uses ACPI_DB_INFO, which is macro based on the ACPI_LV_INFO
|
||||
definition.)
|
||||
|
||||
Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting
|
||||
AML) during boot:
|
||||
|
||||
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
|
||||
|
||||
Enable PCI and PCI interrupt routing debug messages:
|
||||
|
||||
acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
|
||||
|
||||
Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages:
|
||||
|
||||
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
|
||||
|
||||
Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
|
||||
|
||||
Show all valid component values:
|
||||
|
||||
