I understand that DSP_TRACEBUF is useful. But now DSP_TRACEBUF is
always complied in and it cannot print anything without defining
GT_TRACE, IOW, without defining CONFIG_DSP_DEBUG. This is the matter of
dependency of those DEFINEs, DSP_TRACEBUF and DEBUG. Kconfig can describe
those dependency. I am proposing to set the dependency of DSP_TRACEBUF
on CONFIG_DSP_DEBUG, to save some memory instead of keeping unused
code(ex: PrintDSPDebugTrace()) in this driver.
Without defining "GT_TRACE", "DSP_TRACEBUF" won't print anything
because "PrintDSPDebugTrace()" uses GT_0trace to print and GT_?trace()
is set as below,
arch/arm/plat-omap/include/dspbridge/gt.h:
...
#ifndef GT_TRACE
#define GT_TRACE 0 /* 0 = "trace compiled out"; 1 = "trace
active" */
#endif
...
#if GT_TRACE == 0
...
#define GT_0trace(mask, class, format) do {} while (0)
#define GT_1trace(mask, class, format, arg1) do {} while (0)
...
And "GT_TRACE" depends on "CONFIG_BRIDGE_DEBUG" as below,
drivers/dsp/bridge/Kbuild:
...
ifeq ($(CONFIG_BRIDGE_DEBUG),y)
ccflags-y += -DGT_TRACE -DDEBUG
endif
...
