Add --enable-debug-log configure option
Until now the notion of an internal debug logging infrastructure was conflated with enabling ASSERT()s. This patch clarifies things by cleanly breaking the two subsystem apart. The result of this is the following behavior. --enable-debug - Enable/disable code wrapped in ASSERT()s. --disable-debug ASSERT()s are used to check invariants and are never required for correct operation. They are disabled by default because they may impact performance. --enable-debug-log - Enable/disable the debug log infrastructure. --disable-debug-log This infrastructure allows the spl code and its consumer to log messages to an in-kernel log. The granularity of the logging can be controlled by a debug mask. By default the mask disables most debug messages resulting in a negligible performance impact. Because of this the debug log is enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]>
