  • hex2bin converts a hexadecimal string to its binary representation.
    The original version of hex2bin did not do any error checking. This
    patch adds error checking and returns the result.

    Changelog v1:
    - removed unpack_hex_byte()
    - changed return code from boolean to int

    Changelog:
    - use the new unpack_hex_byte()
    - add __must_check compiler option (Andy Shevchenko's suggestion)
    - change function API to return error checking result
    (based on Tetsuo Handa's initial patch)

  • Similar to the kgdb_hex2mem() code, hex2bin converts a string
    to binary using the hex_to_bin() library call.

    Changelog:
    - Replace parameter names with src/dst (based on David Howell's comment)
    - Add 'const' where needed (based on David Howell's comment)
    - Replace int with size_t (based on David Howell's comment)

  • hex_to_bin() is a little method which converts hex digit to its actual
    value. There are plenty of places where such functionality is needed.

  • Reduce char linebuf[200] to the actual size required., which is 32 * 3 + 2
    + 32 + 1, ie: linebuf[131].

    Change examples to use bool true not int 1.

    Align multiline argument indentation to open parenthesis.

    Use temporary for ptr[j] so trigraph fits on single line.

    Convert printk ptr from %*p, (int)(2 * sizeof(void *)) to %p as %p uses
    the same calculation for size.

  • For example:
    hex_dump_to_buffer("AB", 2, 16, 1, buf, 100, 0);
    pr_info("[%s]\n", buf);

    I'd expect the output to be "[41 42]", but actually it's "[41 42 ]"

    This patch also makes the required buf to be minimum. To print the hex
    format of "AB", a buf with size 6 should be sufficient, but
    hex_dump_to_buffer() required at least 8.

  • Add a common hex array in hexdump.c so everyone can use it.

    Add a common hi/lo helper to avoid the shifting masking that is
    done to get the upper and lower nibbles of a byte value.

    Pull the pack_hex_byte helper from kgdb as it is opencoded many
    places in the tree that will be consolidated.

  • As Herbert Xu pointed out, bytes (chars) with bit 7 (0x80) set are true
    with isprint() but they may not be isascii() but be Unicode instead, so
    don't try to print them in hex dumps.

  • Trivial fix: mark the buffer to hexdump as const so callers could avoid
    casting their const buffers when calling print_hex_dump().

    The patch is really trivial and I suggest to consider it as a fix
    (it fixes GCC warnings) and push it to current tree.

  • Add a prefix string parameter. Callers are responsible for any string
    length/alignment that they want to see in the output. I.e., callers should
    pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that.

    Add rowsize parameter. This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed
    per line. Must be 16 or 32.

    Add a groupsize parameter. This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte,
    2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers. Default is 1-byte numbers. If the
    total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are
    printed.

    Add an "ascii" output parameter. This causes ASCII data output following
    the hex data output.

    Clean up some doc examples.

    Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call.

    Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to
    print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in
    byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.

  • Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE
    CompactFlash interface.

    Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h.

    This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper().
    print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to
    syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump
    format.

    hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of
    output (16 bytes of input) at a time.

    Example usages:
    print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len);
    hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf));

    Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET:
    0009ab42: 40414243 44454647 48494a4b 4c4d4e4f-@ABCDEFG HIJKLMNO
    Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS:
    ffffffff88089af0: 70717273 74757677 78797a7b 7c7d7e7f-pqrstuvw xyz{|}~.
