  • UUID/GUIDs are somewhat common in kernel source.

    Standardize the printed style of UUID/GUIDs by using
    another extension to %p.

    %pUb: 01020304-0506-0708-090a-0b0c0d0e0f10
    %pUB: 01020304-0506-0708-090A-0B0C0D0E0F10 (upper case)

  • Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
    spaces from strings all over the tree.

    It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
    text data bss dec hex filename
    64688 584 592 65864 10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
    64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

    Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
    remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
    evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
    "a char equals zero is never a space".

    Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
    and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c

  • The difference between simple_strtoul() and simple_strtoull() is just
    the size of the variable used to keep track of the sum of characters
    converted to numbers:

    unsigned long simple_strtoul() {...}
    unsigned long long simple_strtoull(){...}

    Both are same size on my Core 2/gcc 4.4.1.
    Overflow condition is not checked on both functions, so an extremely large
    string can break these functions so that they don't even notice it.

    As we do not care for overflowing on these functions, always keep the sum
    using the larger variable around (unsigned long long) on simple_strtoull()
    and cast it to (unsigned long) on simple_strtoul(), which then becomes
    just a wrapper around simple_strtoull().

    Code size decreases by 304 bytes:

  • This patchset reduces lib/lib.a code size by 482 bytes on my Core 2 with
    gcc 4.4.1 even considering that it exports a newly defined function
    skip_spaces() to drivers:

    text data bss dec hex filename
    64867 840 592 66299 102fb (TOTALS-lib.a-BEFORE)
    64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-lib.a-AFTER)
    and implements some code tidy up.

    Besides reducing lib.a size, it converts many in-tree drivers to use the
    newly defined function, which makes another small reduction on kernel size
    overall when those drivers are used.

    This patch:

    Change "" to "(null)", unifying 3 equal strings.
    glibc also uses "(null)" for the same purpose.

  • Jesse accidentally applied v1 [1] of the patchset instead of v2 [2]. This
    is the diff between v1 and v2.

    The changes in this patch are:
    - tidied vsprintf stack buffer to shrink and compute size more
    accurately
    - use %pR for decoding and %pr for "raw" (with type and flags) instead
    of adding %pRt and %pRf

  • When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
    following the %*s. For example, the following code should find the
    position of the end of the string "hello".

    int end;
    char buf[] = "hello world";
    sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
    printf("%d\n", end);

    Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
    would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
    not included in the patch.

  • Remove the duplicate comment of bstr_printf that is the same as the
    vsnprintf.

    Add the 's' option to the comment for the pointer function. This is
    more of an internal function so the little duplication of the comment
    here is OK.

  • On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
    but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
    to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
    itself.

    mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
    the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
    requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
    instead.

    %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
    %pf produces just run_local_timers

    For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
    %pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f

    This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

  • A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure
    function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of
    months ago.

    The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol,
    but often we only want to print the name of the function, without
    its asm offset.

    That's what %pf does in this patch. The lowecase f has been chosen
    for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'.

    The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code
    where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is
    also true for other parts of the kernel:

    $ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)"
    arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c: symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf);
    arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c: name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr);
    arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf);
    arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/kprobes.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL,
    kernel/lockdep.c: return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str);
    kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
    kernel/trace/trace_output.c: kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);

    Changes in v2:

    - Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf()

    - Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only
    define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

  • Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the
    vsprintf format decoding in:

    fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users

    The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
    precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).

    But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
    the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.

    Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
    to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
    hosts the value in case of negative values.

  • An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
    make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.

    Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
    job from tracing time to output time.

    Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
    insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
    file.

    The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
    the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
    and faster to insert.
    Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
    with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.

    The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
    vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
    in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.

    Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
    possible common bits from these functions.
    The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
    they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
    is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
    other parts that could be worth factorized.

    Changes in V2:

    - Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
    a structure.

    Changes in v3:

    - Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
    printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
    Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
    avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
    changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
    It would be too risky.

    - Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).

    - Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p

    Changes in v4:

    - drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
    (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

  • Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
    pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
    just its numeric value.

    However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
    want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
    even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
    such, rather than oopsing.

    This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
    all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
    "[NULL]" to match glibc).

    %#p6 is also supported and will omit the colons.

    %p6 is a replacement for NIP6_FMT and NIP6()
    %#p6 is a replacement for NIP6_SEQFMT and NIP6()

    Note that NIP6() took a struct in6_addr whereas this takes a pointer
    to a struct in6_addr.
