  Hi,

Jim Cromie hit a BUG() while toggling jump label branches in a module
before they were properly initialized. This isn't currently an issue,
but will be as part of his pending classmap series. Seems like we
should covert to using module callback notifier for dynamic debug
anyways. First patch is just a cleanup.

Thanks,

-Jason

Do you have tests to ensure no regressions have occurred? If so what
are they? If there are no tests, can you come up with some basic ones?

Hi Luis,

Yes, I've run the test case that prompted this series here:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230125203743.564009-20-jim.cromie@gmail.com/

Note that this is for new functionality that Jim is working on and he 
plan to include this series when he re-posts his series. And thus I've 
added Jim's Tested-by: in patches 1 and 2.

There is also a 'test_dynamic_debug' module which I've run as follows:

# modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg

And confirmed the appropriate prints to the log. This exercises the code 
paths that were changed here.

Thanks,

-Jason
