* printk-formats.txt: Better describe the difference between %pS and %pFHelge Deller2017-08-161-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes people seems unclear when to use the %pS or %pF printk format. For example, see commit 51d96dc2e2dc ("random: fix warning message on ia64 and parisc") which fixed such a wrong format string. The documentation should be more clear about the difference.

* printk-formats.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2017-07-141-155/+229
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - add a title for the document; - add markups for section titles; - move authorship to the beginning and use :Author:; - use right markup for tables; - mark literals and literal blocks.

* vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device treePantelis Antoniou2017-06-271-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every node. For instance typical use is: pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name); Which can be written now as: pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node); '%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF' representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the only supported type of kobject. More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name, flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry. Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

* mm, printk: introduce new format string for flagsVlastimil Babka2016-03-151-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs. To make them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we want to dump also the symbolic flag names. So far this has been done with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not usable for e.g. sysfs export. To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp), gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv). Existing users of dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified. It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the %p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a non-critical path is negligible.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to avoid making code that deals with printing both, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, unnecessary complicated as for example ... if (sa.sa_family == AF_INET6) printk("... %pI6 ...", ..sin6_addr); else printk("... %pI4 ...", ..sin_addr.s_addr); ... it would be better to introduce a format specifier that can deal with those kind of situations internally; just as we have a "struct sockaddr" for generic mapping into "struct sockaddr_in" or "struct sockaddr_in6" as e.g. done in "union sctp_addr". Then, we could reduce the above statement into something like: printk("... %pIS ..", &sockaddr); In case our pointer is NULL, pointer() then deals with that already at an earlier point in time internally. While we're at it, support for both %piS/%pIS, where 'S' stands for sockaddr, comes (almost) for free. Additionally to that, postfix specifiers 'p', 'f' and 's' are supported as suggested and initially implemented in 2009 by Joe Perches [1]. Handling of those additional specifiers orientate on the initial RFC that was proposed. Also we support IPv6 compressed format specified by 'c' and various other IPv4 extensions as stated in the documentation part. Likely, there are many other areas than just SCTP in the kernel to make use of this extension as well.
