Greg Kroah-Hartman d936a940f4 UPSTREAM: dynamic_debug: allow to work if debugfs is disabled
With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems
is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and
more platforms over time.  However, the functionality of dynamic
debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for
its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be
disabled.

To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in
procfs.  This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for
individual driverfs and subsystems.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
