Subject: [PATCH 00/14] printf stuff for 4.5
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2015 22:29:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448314171-25856-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)
I was too late for 4.4, so here's hoping to get this into 4.5.
1-3 fix a theoretical race in printing strings via %s - since we're
reusing existing code from the dentry printer, we actually also win on
code size. Ingo, can I perhaps get you to turn your "looks good to"
into an ack?
4 fixes a problem introduced by converting all bitmap formatting to go
via %pb[l] - it turns out that bitmaps with >= 1<<15 bits are actually
printed sometimes. This isn't necessarily the best fix, but the
discussion died out, so I'm proposing this for now.
5 is just a minor optimization (maybe not so much on
register-challenged arches).
6 I'm not too sure about, but maybe the bitmap problem had been
discovered sooner (it took a little over half a year to be reported)
if these had been in place.
7 is another microoptimization.
Paranoid-me wanted me to include patch 8, but I don't have strong
feelings for it.
9-14 are minor additions to the test module (some with acks from
Kees).
Rasmus Villemoes (14):
lib/vsprintf.c: pull out padding code from dentry_name()
lib/vsprintf.c: move string() below widen_string()
lib/vsprintf.c: eliminate potential race in string()
lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits
lib/vsprintf.c: help gcc make number() smaller
lib/vsprintf.c: warn about too large precisions and field widths
lib/vsprintf.c: slightly refactor vscnprintf()
lib/kasprintf.c: add sanity check to kvasprintf
lib/test_printf.c: don't BUG
lib/test_printf.c: check for out-of-bound writes
lib/test_printf.c: test precision quirks
lib/test_printf.c: account for kvasprintf tests
lib/test_printf.c: add test for large bitmaps
lib/test_printf.c: test dentry printing
