Controlling dynamic debug Behaviour
-===============================
+===================================
The behaviour of pr_debug()/dev_debug()s are controlled via writing to a
control file in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, you must first mount the debugfs
Note also that there is no convenient syntax to remove all
the flags at once, you need to use "-psc".
+
+Debug messages during boot process
+==================================
+
+To be able to activate debug messages during the boot process,
+even before userspace and debugfs exists, use the boot parameter:
+ddebug_query="QUERY"
+
+QUERY follows the syntax described above, but must not exceed 1023
+characters. The enablement of debug messages is done as an arch_initcall.
+Thus you can enable debug messages in all code processed after this
+arch_initcall via this boot parameter.
+On an x86 system for example ACPI enablement is a subsys_initcall and
+ddebug_query="file ec.c +p"
+will show early Embedded Controller transactions during ACPI setup if
+your machine (typically a laptop) has an Embedded Controller.
+PCI (or other devices) initialization also is a hot candidate for using
+this boot parameter for debugging purposes.
