[PATCH] x86/resctrl: Use seq_putc() in two functions

[PATCH] x86/resctrl: Use seq_putc() in two functions

Single characters should be put into a sequence.
Thus use the corresponding function “seq_putc”.

This issue was transformed by using the Coccinelle software.

Could you please point me to how you accomplished this? I tried
on the latest upstream as well as the latest resctrl staged
changes in tip's x86/cache but the needed coccinelle scripts do
not seem to be available. I tried by running the commands below. It appeared
to run many coccinelle scripts but there was not one related to this change.
Is this a new coccinelle script outside of the kernel or still
on its way upstream?

Could you please highlight the benefit of this change? Looking at seq_puts() implementation, thanks
to [1], it seems to me these seq_puts() calls will result in seq_putc() anyway?

Just to give some context to this: Markus usually uses extra
(out-of-tree) coccinelle scripts to change code to his liking, sometimes
these are good changes, sometimes they are meaningless.

See for example this:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/50978c86-cf4a-991d-54ab-50d8d977f946@inria.fr/

Some well known kernel contributors also have auto-replies (although in
a different context) specially for this contributor:

Hi,

in this case, there is no benefit and the generated code should be 
exactly the same.

…

Maybe.


> Is this a new coccinelle script outside of the kernel

I constructed small scripts for the semantic patch language according to
the presented code refactoring a while ago.

I am curious if such a transformation approach can eventually be integrated
for the coccicheck tool.

If the appropriate function call would be directly used, extra optimisation efforts can be avoided
by the compiler.

Markus

I occasionally dare to present special change possibilities.

These can be nice.

Further development ideas can trigger corresponding communication challenges.
