This should work:
echo module=amd* format=^[IF_TRACE]: +p >/proc/dynamic_debug/control
consider drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/include/logger_types.h:
It has 11 defines like:
#define DC_LOG_IF_TRACE(...) pr_debug("[IF_TRACE]:"__VA_ARGS__)
These defines are used 804 times at recent count; they are a good use
case to evaluate existing format-message based classifications of
*pr_debug*. Those macros prefix the supplied format with a fixed
string, I'd expect most existing message classification schemes to do
something similar.
Hence we want to be able to anchor our match to the beginning of the
format string, allowing easy construction of clear and precise
queries, leveraging the existing classification scheme to enable and
disable those callsites.
Note that unlike other search terms, formats are implicitly floating
substring matches, without the need for explicit wildcards.
This makes no attempt at wider regex features, just the one we need.
TLDR: Using the anchor also means the []s are less helpful for
disamiguating the prefix from a random in-message occurrence, allowing
shorter prefixes.

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.
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.
