Greg Banks 9898abb3d2 Dynamic debug: allow simple quoting of words
Allow simple quoting of words in the dynamic debug control language.

This allows more natural specification when using the control language
to match against printk formats, e.g

#echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' >
	/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

instead of

#echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' >
	/mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a
new example.  Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to
reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the
control file.  Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

Jason Baron e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.
