2019-11-03debugfs: Add debugfs_create_xul() for hexadecimal unsigned longGeert Uytterhoeven1-1/+4
The existing debugfs_create_ulong() function supports objects of type "unsigned long", which are 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the platform, in decimal form. To format objects in hexadecimal, various debugfs_create_x*() functions exist, but all of them take fixed-size types. Add a debugfs helper for "unsigned long" objects in hexadecimal format. This avoids the need for users to open-code the same, or introduce bugs when casting the value pointer to "u32 *" or "u64 *" to call debugfs_create_x{32,64}().

2015-10-04debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()Viresh Kumar1-1/+1
Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte. That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

2014-11-05debugfs: Have debugfs_print_regs32() return voidJoe Perches1-1/+1
The seq_printf() will soon just return void, and seq_has_overflowed() should be used instead to see if the seq can no longer accept input. As the return value of debugfs_print_regs32() has no users and the seq_file descriptor should be checked with seq_has_overflowed() instead of return values of functions, it is better to just have debugfs_print_regs32() also return void.

2012-08-27debugfs: more tightly restrict default mount modeKees Cook1-2/+2
Since the debugfs is mostly only used by root, make the default mount mode 0700. Most system owners do not need a more permissive value, but they can choose to weaken the restrictions via their fstab.

2012-01-26debugfs: add mode, uid and gid optionsLudwig Nussel1-1/+4
Cautious admins may want to restrict access to debugfs. Currently a manual chown/chmod e.g. in an init script is needed to achieve that. Distributions that want to make the mount options configurable need to add extra config files. By allowing to set the root inode's uid, gid and mode via mount options no such hacks are needed anymore. Instead configuration becomes straight forward via fstab.

2011-11-18debugfs: add tools to printk 32-bit registersAlessandro Rubini1-1/+31
Some debugfs file I deal with are mostly blocks of registers, i.e. lines of the form "<name> = 0x<value>". Some files are only registers, some include registers blocks among other material. This patch introduces data structures and functions to deal with both cases. I expect more users of this over time.
