enum
log_category_t
¶ Log categories supported.
Constants
LOGC_FIRST
- First log category
LOGC_NONE
- Default log category
LOGC_ARCH
- Related to arch-specific code
LOGC_BOARD
- Related to board-specific code
LOGC_CORE
- Related to core features (non-driver-model)
LOGC_DM

correspond to uclasses
(i.e. enum uclass_id
), but there are also some more generic categories.

-
int
_log
(enum log_category_t cat, enum log_level_t level, const char *file, int line, const char *func, const char *fmt, ...)¶ Internal function to emit a new log record
Parameters
enum log_category_t cat
- Category of log record (indicating which subsystem generated it)
enum log_level_t level
- Level of log record (indicating its severity)
const char *file
- File name of file where log record was generated
int line
- Line number in file where log record was generated
const char *func
- Function where log record was generated
const char *fmt
- printf() format string for log record
...
- Optional parameters, according to the format string fmt
Return
0 if log record was emitted, -ve on error
-
assert
(x)¶ assert expression is true
Parameters
x
- expression to test
Description
If the expression x evaluates to false and _DEBUG evaluates to true, a panic message is written and the system stalls. The value of _DEBUG is set to true if DEBUG is defined before including common.h.
The expression x is always executed irrespective of the value of _DEBUG.
-
struct
log_rec
¶ a single log record
Definition
struct log_rec {
enum log_category_t cat;
enum log_level_t level;
u16 line;
u8 flags;
const char *file;
const char *func;
const char *msg;
};
Members
cat
- Category, representing a uclass or part of U-Boot
level
- Severity level, less severe is higher
line
- Line number where the log record was generated
flags
- Flags for log record (enum log_rec_flags)
file
- Name of file where the log record was generated (not allocated)
func
- Function where the log record was generated (not allocated)
msg
- Log message (allocated)
Description
Holds information about a single record in the log
Members marked as ‘not allocated’ are stored as pointers and the caller is responsible for making sure that the data pointed to is not overwritten. Members marked as ‘allocated’ are allocated (e.g. via strdup()) by the log system.
TODO(sjg**chromium.org**): Compress this struct down a bit to reduce space, e.g. a single u32 for cat, level, line and force_debug
-
struct
log_driver
¶ a driver which accepts and processes log records
Definition
struct log_driver {
const char *name;
int (*emit)(struct log_device *ldev, struct log_rec *rec);
unsigned short flags;
};
Members
name
- Name of driver
emit
emit a log record
Called by the log system to pass a log record to a particular driver for processing. The filter is checked before calling this function.
flags
- Initial value for flags (use LOGDF_ENABLE to enable on start-up)
-
struct
log_device
¶ an instance of a log driver
Definition
struct log_device {
unsigned short next_filter_num;
unsigned short flags;
struct log_driver *drv;
struct list_head filter_head;
struct list_head sibling_node;
};
Members
next_filter_num
- Sequence number of next filter filter added (0=no filters yet). This increments with each new filter on the device, but never decrements
flags
- Flags for this filter (enum log_device_flags)
drv
- Pointer to driver for this device
filter_head
- List of filters for this device
sibling_node
- Next device in the list of all devices
Description
Since drivers are set up at build-time we need to have a separate device for the run-time aspects of drivers (currently just a list of filters to apply to records send to this device).
-
enum
log_filter_flags
¶ Flags which modify a filter
Constants
LOGFF_HAS_CAT
- Filter has a category list
LOGFF_DENY
- Filter denies matching messages
LOGFF_LEVEL_MIN
- Filter’s level is a minimum, not a maximum
-
struct
log_filter
¶ criteria to filter out log messages
Definition
struct log_filter {
int filter_num;
int flags;
enum log_category_t cat_list[LOGF_MAX_CATEGORIES];
enum log_level_t level;
const char *file_list;
struct list_head sibling_node;
};
Members
filter_num
- Sequence number of this filter. This is returned when adding a new filter, and must be provided when removing a previously added filter.
flags
- Flags for this filter (
LOGFF_...
) cat_list
- List of categories to allow (terminated by
LOGC_END
). If empty then all categories are permitted. Up toLOGF_MAX_CATEGORIES
entries can be provided level

LOGFF_MIN_LEVEL
) log level to allow file_list
- List of files to allow, separated by comma. If NULL then all files are permitted
sibling_node
- Next filter in the list of filters for this log device
Description
If a message matches all criteria, then it is allowed. If LOGFF_DENY is set, then it is denied instead.
