vsprintf: fix %ps on non symbols when using kallsyms

2012-05-29T23:22:32Z

Using %ps in a printk format will sometimes fail silently and print the empty string if the address passed in does not match a symbol that kallsyms knows about. But using %pS will fall back to printing the full address if kallsyms can't find the symbol. Make %ps act the same as %pS by falling back to printing the address. While we're here also make %ps print the module that a symbol comes from so that it matches what %pS already does. Take this simple function for example (in a module): static void test_printk(void) { int test; pr_info("with pS: %pS\n", &test); pr_info("with ps: %ps\n", &test); } Before this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: After this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: 0xdff7df44 Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

treewide: use printf not attribute__((format(printf,...)))

2011-11-01T00:30:54Z

Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification. Standardized the location of __printf too. Done via script and a little typing. $ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \ grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \ xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*$\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*$\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }' [akpm@linux-foundation.org: revert arch bits] Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Cc: "Kirill A.

vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifier

2011-03-24T07:36:10Z

The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to ensure the address will not point outside of the function. If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn", gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat. This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

kallsyms: remove deprecated print_fn_descriptor_symbol()

2009-12-15T16:53:26Z

According to feature-removal-schedule.txt, it is the time to remove print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). And a quick grep shows that it no longer has any callers. Signed-off-by: WANG Cong Cc: Bjorn Helgaas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Ksplice: Add functions for walking kallsyms symbols

2009-03-31T02:35:32Z

Impact: New API kallsyms_lookup_name only returns the first match that it finds. Ksplice needs information about all symbols with a given name in order to correctly resolve local symbols. kallsyms_on_each_symbol provides a generic mechanism for iterating over the kallsyms table.

vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format

2008-10-16T18:21:31Z

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks atomic. This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol(). I marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated. parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power). This patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol() to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

kallsyms: unify 32- and 64-bit code

2008-07-25T17:53:29Z

Use the %p format string which already accounts for the padding you need with a pointer type on a particular architecture. Also replace the macro with a static inline function to match the rest of the file.

Clean up 'print_fn_descriptor_symbol()' types

2008-05-16T00:50:37Z

Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual address from there). So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to add a cast. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
