If the system admin continously tried to unload and load the patchset
then we certainly would spam.

But the 'loading' is (or ought to) be a single event. The applying
or reverting may be done more often.

As such I would say that the operations that are tied to apply/reverting
should go through printk - to at least leave breadcrumbs if things
fall apart. I would say:

        printk(XENLOG_ERR XSPLICE "%s: unable to get cpu_maps lock!\n",
        printk(XENLOG_ERR XSPLICE "%s: Timed out on %s semaphore %u/%u\n",
            printk(XENLOG_ERR XSPLICE "%s: CPU%u - unable to get cpu_maps 
lock!\n",
        printk(XENLOG_INFO XSPLICE "%s finished %s with rc=%d\n",
        printk(XENLOG_INFO XSPLICE ": build-id: %*phN\n", len, binary_id);
    dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Applying %u functions.\n",
    dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Reverting.\n", data->name);
    dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: timeout is %"PRI_stime"ms\n",
            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: CPU%u - IPIing the other %u 
CPUs\n",

Should be come printk. And make them INFO (except on errors - they should be 
ERR).


Then comes the question of payloads loading. In the fields all
the dprintk are gone - and that is exactly where the payloads would
be used. And that is the only _way_ to actually test the payload. But
if you don't have dprintk and something goes wrong you only get -EINVAL.

As such I would think that all of the dprintk that deal with the payload
should be made printk. So these:

+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Unsupported ELF Machine type!\n",
+    dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: SHT_REL relocation unsupported\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section relative header is 
corrupted!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Relative entry %u in %s is past 
end!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Relative symbol wants symbol@%u 
which is past end!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: No WX sections!\n", elf->name);
+                dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Loaded %s at 0x%p\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Wrong size of .xsplice.funcs!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Wrong version (%u). Expected 
%d!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Address or size fields are 
zero!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Resolved old address %s => 
%p\n",
+                dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Already loaded as %s!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Wrong size of .bug_frames.%u!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Wrong size of .alt_instr (exp:%lu 
vs %lu)!\n",
+                dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s Alt patching outside payload: 
0x%lx!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Wrong size of .ex_table (exp:%lu 
vs %lu)!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: new symbol %s\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: overriding symbol %s\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, "%s%s: check against %s build-id failed!\n",
+                dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, "%s%s: can't unload. Top is %s!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section table is past end of 
payload!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section [%u] data is past end of 
payload!\n",
+                dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Unsupported multiple symbol 
tables!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: No symbol table found!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Symbol table header is corrupted!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: String table section is corrupted\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section string table is corrupted\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: shstrtab [%u] data is past end of 
payload!\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Symbol [%u] data is past end of 
payload!\n",
+                dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Unknown type=%#"PRIx16"\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Relative link of %s is incorrect 
(%d, expected=%d)\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section header is bigger than 
payload!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Not an ELF payload!\n", elf->name);
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Invalid ELF payload!\n", elf->name);
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section name idx is undefined!?\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section name idx (%u) is past end of 
sections (%u)!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Too many (%u) sections!\n",
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Bogus e_shoff!\n", elf->name);
+        dprintk(XENLOG_ERR, XSPLICE "%s: Section header size is %u! Expected 
%zu!?\n",

Should be printk.

Which would leave almost no dprintks in the code.

but some of them are chatty.

 +                dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Loaded %s at 0x%p\n",
 +            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Resolved old address %s => 
%p\n",
 +            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: new symbol %s\n",
 +            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: overriding symbol %s\n",
 +                dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Symbol resolved: %s => 
%#"PRIxElfAddr"(%s)\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Undefined symbol resolved: %s 
=> %#"PRIxElfAddr"\n",
+            dprintk(XENLOG_DEBUG, XSPLICE "%s: Absolute symbol: %s => 
%#"PRIxElfAddr"\n",

and those could certainly be printk(XENLOG_DEBUG' perhaps? Or leave them as 
dprintk?
