Subject: [PATCH v3 5/5] lib/vsprintf: Always check interrupt context restrictions
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 10:40:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520-restricted-pointers-final-v3-5-76bca6a6ab3f@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520-restricted-pointers-final-v3-0-76bca6a6ab3f@linutronix.de>
When kptr_restrict is set to '1' restricted pointers can not be used
in IRQ context. As kptr_restrict can change at any time at runtime,
this means that restricted pointers can not be used from IRQ context
in general.
Add some assertions to detect misuse early, independently of the
runtime configuration of the test system.
