Merge tag 'printk-for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Allow state reset of printk_once() calls. - Prevent crashes when dereferencing invalid pointers in vsprintf(). Only the first byte is checked for simplicity. - Make vsprintf warnings consistent and inlined. - Treewide conversion of obsolete %pf, %pF to %ps, %pF printf modifiers. - Some clean up of vsprintf and test_printf code. * tag 'printk-for-5.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk: lib/vsprintf: Make function pointer_string static vsprintf: Limit the length of inlined error messages vsprintf: Avoid confusion between invalid address and value vsprintf: Prevent crash when dereferencing invalid pointers vsprintf: Consolidate handling of unknown pointer specifiers vsprintf: Factor out %pO handler as kobject_string() vsprintf: Factor out %pV handler as va_format() vsprintf: Factor out %p[iI] handler as ip_addr_string() vsprintf: Do not check address of well-known strings vsprintf: Consistent %pK handling for kptr_restrict == 0 vsprintf: Shuffle restricted_pointer() printk: Tie printk_once / printk_deferred_once into .data.once for reset treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively lib/test_printf: Switch to bitmap_zalloc()

before printing. The kernel also supports extended specifiers for printing
|
||||
pointers of different types.
|

|
||||
Some of the extended specifiers print the data on the given address instead
|
||||
of printing the address itself. In this case, the following error messages
|
||||
might be printed instead of the unreachable information::
|
||||
|
||||
(null) data on plain NULL address
|
||||
(efault) data on invalid address
|
||||
(einval) invalid data on a valid address
