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.[linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk: lots of good implementation suggestions]

Following "lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits", let's add a
test to see that we now actually support bitmaps with 65536 bits.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

These should also count as performed tests.

This adds a few tests to test_number, one of which serves to document
another deviation from POSIX/C99 (printing 0 with an explicit precision
of 0).Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

The kernel's printf doesn't follow the standards in a few corner cases
(which are probably mostly irrelevant). Add tests that document the
current behaviour.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

Add a few padding bytes on either side of the test buffer, and check
that these (and the part of the buffer not used) are untouched by
vsnprintf.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

BUG is a completely unnecessarily big hammer, and we're more likely to
get the internal bug reported if we just pr_err() and ensure the test
suite fails.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

This adds a simple module for testing the kernel's printf facilities.
Previously, some %p extensions have caused a wrong return value in case
the entire output didn't fit and/or been unusable in kasprintf(). This
should help catch such issues. Also, it should help ensure that changes
to the formatting algorithms don't break anything.I'm not sure if we have a struct dentry or struct file lying around at
boot time or if we can fake one, but most %p extensions should be
testable, as should the ordinary number and string formatting.The nature of vararg functions means we can't use a more conventional
table-driven approach.For now, this is mostly a skeleton; contributions are very
welcome. Some tests are/will be slightly annoying to write, since the
expected output depends on stuff like CONFIG_*, sizeof(long), runtime
values etc.Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes
