 	  Compiles debug level messages into the kernel, which would not
 	  otherwise be available at runtime. These messages can then be
-	  enabled/disabled on a per module basis. This mechanism implicitly
-	  enables all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. The impact of this
-	  compile option is a larger kernel text size of about 2%.
+	  enabled/disabled based on various levels of scope - per source file,
+	  function, module, format string, and line number. This mechanism
+	  implicitly enables all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. The impact of
+	  this compile option is a larger kernel text size of about 2%.
 
 	  Usage:
 
-	  Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file,
-	  dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
-	  can be enabled. The format of the file is the module name, followed
-	  by a set of flags that can be enabled. The first flag is always the
-	  'enabled' flag. For example:
+	  Dynamic debugging is controlled via the 'dynamic_debug/ddebug' file,
+	  which is contained in the 'debugfs' filesystem. Thus, the debugfs
+	  filesystem must first be mounted before making use of this feature.
+	  We refer the control file as: <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug. This
+	  file contains a list of the debug statements that can be enabled. The
+	  format for each line of the file is:
 
-		<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
-				.
-				.
-				.
+		filename:lineno [module]function flags format
 
-	  <module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
-	  <enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not
+	  filename : source file of the debug statement
+	  lineno : line number of the debug statement
+	  module : module that contains the debug statement
+	  function : function that contains the debug statement
+          flags : 'p' means the line is turned 'on' for printing
+          format : the format used for the debug statement
 
 	  From a live system:
 
-		snd_hda_intel enabled=0
-		fixup enabled=0
-		driver enabled=0
+		nullarbor:~ # cat <debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
+		# filename:lineno [module]function flags format
+		fs/aio.c:222 [aio]__put_ioctx - "__put_ioctx:\040freeing\040%p\012"
+		fs/aio.c:248 [aio]ioctx_alloc - "ENOMEM:\040nr_events\040too\040high\012"
+		fs/aio.c:1770 [aio]sys_io_cancel - "calling\040cancel\012"
 
-	  Enable a module:
+	  Example usage:
 
-	  	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
+		// enable the message at line 1603 of file svcsock.c
+		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c line 1603 +p' >
+						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
 
-	  Disable a module:
+		// enable all the messages in file svcsock.c
+		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'file svcsock.c +p' >
+						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
 
-	  	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules
+		// enable all the messages in the NFS server module
+		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'module nfsd +p' >
+						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
 
-	  Enable all modules:
+		// enable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
+		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process +p' >
+						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
 
-		$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
+		// disable all 12 messages in the function svc_process()
+		nullarbor:~ # echo -n 'func svc_process -p' >
+						<debugfs>/dynamic_debug/ddebug
 
-	  Disable all modules:
-
-		$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules
-
-	  Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
-	  debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
-	  disable command.
+	  See Documentation/dynamic-debug-howto.txt for additional information.
