Subject: [PATCH] printk: fix pr_debug and pr_devel to elide function calls
Date: Thu,  3 Dec 2015 17:45:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449182754-19088-1-git-send-email-aconole@redhat.com> (raw)

Currently, pr_debug and pr_devel will not elide function call arguments
appearing in calls to no_printk for these macros. This is because all
side effects must be honored before proceeding to the 0-value assignment
in no_printk.

The behavior is contrary to documentation found in the CodingStyle and
header file where these functions are declared. 

This patch corrects that behavior by shunting out the call to no_printk
completely. The format string is still checked by gcc for correctness, but
no code seems to be emitted in common cases.

fixes commit 5264f2f75d86 ("include/linux/printk.h: use and neaten
no_printk")
