Rework the way that kernel log messages are rate-limited or suppressed
while running the cs_dsp KUnit tests.
Under normal conditions cs_dsp doesn't produce an unreasonable number of
log messages, and state changes are relatively infrequent. But the KUnit
tests run through a very large number of test cases, especially error
cases, and this produces an unusually large amount of log output from
cs_dsp.
The original fix for this in commit 10db9f6899 ("firmware: cs_dsp:
rate-limit log messages in KUnit builds") was effective but not pretty.
It involved different definitions of the log macros for KUnit and
not-KUnit builds, and exported variables for the KUnit tests to disable
log messages. I would have preferred to turn the log macros into real
functions that can contain a KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT(), but the
dev_xxx() macros don't have a version that take va_args, so they can't
be wrapped by a function.
This patch enables the use of a KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT() instead
of exported variables, and avoids the need for different definitions of
the debug macros in KUnit and not-KUnit builds.
- A new function cs_dsp_can_emit_message() returns true if the
messages can be emitted to the kernel log. In a normal not-KUnit build
this function collapses to simply returning true. In KUnit builds it
will rate-limit output, and this uses a single static rate limiter so
it limits the overall rate across all cs_dsp log messages. The KUnit
test can redirect it to change the suppression behavior.
- The cs_dsp debug message macros are changed to only call the dev_xxx()
if cs_dsp_can_emit_message() returns true. These are still macros so
there is no problem wrapping the dev_xxx(). For a normal not-KUnit
build cs_dsp_can_emit_message() always returns true so these macros
simplify down to being identical to calling dev_xxx() directly.
- The KUnit tests that cause a lot of cs_dsp messages now redirect
cs_dsp_can_emit_message() to a local function. This returns false
to suppress cs_dsp messages, unless DEBUG is defined for that test.
I have checked that for a x86_64 production (non-KUnit) build the
disassembled cs_dsp.o is identical to what was generated from the
original code. So the complier is correctly simplifying the
cs_dsp_can_emit_message() and macros down to only the call to dev_xxx().
