commit 1f5d78dc4823a85f112aaa2d0f17624f8c2a6c52 upstream.

We switch to dynamic debugging in commit
56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 but did not take into account that
now we do not control anymore whether a specific message is enabled or not.
So now we lock the "dbg_lock" and release it in every debugging macro, which
make them not so light-weight.

This commit removes the "dbg_lock" protection from the debugging macros to
fix the issue.

The downside is that now our DBGKEY() stuff is broken, but this is not
critical at all and will be fixed later.

commit d34315da9146253351146140ea4b277193ee5e5f upstream.

Patch 56e46742e846e4de167dde0e1e1071ace1c882a5 broke UBIFS debugging messages:
before that commit when UBIFS debugging was enabled, users saw few useful
debugging messages after mount. However, that patch turned 'dbg_msg()' into
'pr_debug()', so to enable the debugging messages users have to enable them
first via /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control, which is very impractical.

This commit makes 'dbg_msg()' to use 'printk()' instead of 'pr_debug()', just
as it was before the breakage.

Switch to debugging using dynamic printk (pr_debug()). There is no good reason
to carry custom debugging prints if there is so cool and powerful generic
dynamic printk infrastructure, see Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt. With
dynamic printks we can switch on/of individual prints, per-file, per-function
and per format messages. This means that instead of doing old-fashioned

echo 1 &gt; /sys/module/ubifs/parameters/debug_msgs

to enable general messages, we can do:

echo 'format "UBIFS DBG gen" +ptlf' &gt; control

to enable general messages and additionally ask the dynamic printk
infrastructure to print process ID, line number and function name. So there is
no reason to keep UBIFS-specific crud if there is more powerful generic thing.

<title>UBIFS: dump the stack on errors in failure mode too</title>

<content type='text'>
When UBIFS is in the failure mode (used for power cut emulation testing) we for
some reasons do not dump the stack in many places, e.g., in assertions.
Probably at early days we had too many of them and disabled this to make the
development easier, but then never enabled. Nowadays I sometimes observe
assertion failures during power cut testing, but the useful stackdump is not
printed, which is bad. This patch makes UBIFS always print the stackdump when
debugging is enabled.

<title>UBIFS: make force in-the-gaps to be a general self-check</title>

UBIFS can force itself to use the 'in-the-gaps' commit method - the last resort
method which is normally invoced very very rarely. Currently this "force
int-the-gaps" debugging feature is a separate test mode. But it is a bit saner
to make it to be the "general" self-test check instead.

This patch is just a clean-up which should make the debugging code look a bit
nicer and easier to use - we have way too many debugging options.

<title>UBIFS: improve space checking debugging feature</title>

This patch improves the 'dbg_check_space_info()' function which checks
whether the amount of space before re-mounting and after re-mounting
is the same (remounting from R/O to R/W modes and vice-versa).

The problem is that 'dbg_check_space_info()' does not save the budgeting
information before re-mounting, so when an error is reported, we do not
know why the amount of free space changed.

This patches makes the following changes:

1. Teaches 'dbg_dump_budg()' function to accept a 'struct ubifs_budg_info'
   argument and print out the this argument. This way we may ask it to
   print any saved budgeting info, no only the current one.
2. Accordingly changes all the callers of 'dbg_dump_budg()' to comply with
   the changed interface.
3. Introduce a 'saved_bi' (saved budgeting info) field to
   'struct ubifs_debug_info' and save the budgeting info before re-mounting
   there.
4. Change 'dbg_check_space_info()' and make it print both old and new
   budgeting information.
5. Additionally, save 'c-&gt;igx_gc_cnt' and print it if and error happens. This
   value contributes to the amount of free space, so we have to print it.

When compiling UBIFS with CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_DEBUG not set,
gcc-4.5.2 generates a slew of "warning: statement with no effect"
on references to non-void functions defined as 0.
To avoid these warnings, replace #defines with dummy inline functions.

Artem: massage the patch a bit, also remove the duplicate
       'dbg_check_lprops()' prototype.
