* tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib functionAndré Goddard Rosa2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".

* vsprintf: reuse almost identical simple_strtoulX() functionsAndré Goddard Rosa2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

* vsprintf: factorize "(null)" stringAndré Goddard Rosa2009-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sscanf(): fix %*s%nAndy Spencer2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * vsprintf: add %ps that is the same as %pS but is like %pfSteven Rostedt2009-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* vsprintf: introduce %pf format specifierFrederic Weisbecker2009-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 usersFrederic Weisbecker2009-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointersLinus Torvalds2009-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architecturesJames Bottomley2008-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

* vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formatsLinus Torvalds2008-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiersLinus Torvalds2008-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some specific pointer type extensions. NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer type and the extension are compatible). Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have traditionally resulted in).
