    dyndbg: refine verbosity 1-4 summary-detail · 09ee10ff
    Jim Cromie authored
    adjust current v*pr_info() calls to fit an overview..detail scheme:
    
    1- module level activity: add/remove, etc
    2- command ingest, splitting, summary of effects.
       per >control write
    3- command parsing: op, flags, search terms
    4- per-site change msg
       can yield ~3k x 2 logs per echo "+p;-p" > command.
    
    Summarize these 4 levels in MODULE_PARM_DESC, and update verbose=3 in Doc.
    
    2- is new, to isolate a problem where a stress-test script (which
    feeds ~4kb multi-command strings) would produce short writes,
    truncating last command and causing parsing errors, which confused
    test results.  The script fix was to use syswrite, to deliver full
    proper commands.
    
    4- gets per-callsite "changed:" pr-infos, which are very noisy during
    stress tests, and formerly obscured v1-3 messages, and overwhelmed the
    static-key workload being tested.
    
    The verbose parameter has previously seen adjustment:
    commit 481c0e33 ("dyndbg: refine debug verbosity; 1 is basic, 2 more chatty")
    
    The script driving these adjustments is:
    
     !/usr/bin/perl -w

    1st purpose was to benchmark the effect of wildcard queries on query
    performance; if wildcards are risk free cheap enough, we can deploy
    them in the (floating) format search.  1st finding: wildcards take 2x
    as long to process.
    
    2nd purpose was to benchmark real static-key changes VS simple flag
    changes.  Found ~100x decrease for the hard work.
    
    The script maximizes workload per >control by packing it a ~4kb
    string of "+p; -p;" commands; this uncovered some broken stuff.
    
    The 85th query failed, and appears to be truncated, so is gramatically
    incorrect.  Its either an error here, or in the kernel.  Its not
    happening atm, retest.
    
    Plot thickens: fail only happens doing +-p, not +-mf, likely load
    dependent.  Error remains consistent.  Looks like a short write,
    longer on writer than kernel-reader.  Try syswrite on handle to
    control this.  That fixed short write.
