lib/vsprintf: Check pointer before dereferencing in time_and_date()

2025-12-18T13:02:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit 372a12bd5df0199aa234eaf8ef31ed7ecd61d40f ] The pointer may be invalid when gets to the printf(). In particular the time_and_date() dereferencing it in some cases without checking. Move the check from rtc_str() to time_and_date() to cover all cases.

slab: Decouple slab_debug and no_hash_pointers

2025-06-09T14:26:10+00:00

Some system owners use slab_debug=FPZ (or similar) as a hardening option, but do not want to be forced into having kernel addresses exposed due to the implicit "no_hash_pointers" boot param setting.[1] Introduce the "hash_pointers" boot param, which defaults to "auto" (the current behavior), but also includes "always" (forcing on hashing even when "slab_debug=..." is defined), and "never". The existing "no_hash_pointers" boot param becomes an alias for "hash_pointers=never". This makes it possible to boot with "slab_debug=FPZ hash_pointers=always".

vsprintf: remove redundant and unused %pCn format specifier

2025-05-16T10:50:00+00:00

%pC and %pCn print the same string, and commit 900cca294425 ("lib/vsprintf: add %pC{,n,r} format specifiers for clocks") introducing them does not clarify any intended difference. It can be assumed %pC is a default for %pCn as some other specifiers do, but not all are consistent with this policy. Moreover there is now no other suffix other than 'n', which makes a default not really useful. All users in the kernel were using %pC except for one which has been converted. So now remove %pCn and all the unnecessary extra code and documentation.

vsprintf: Use %p4chR instead of %p4cn for reading data in reversed host ordering

2025-04-29T13:29:33+00:00

The generic FourCC format always prints the data using the big endian order. It is generic because it allows to read the data using a custom ordering. The current code uses "n" for reading data in the reverse host ordering. It makes the 4 variants [hnbl] consistent with the generic printing of IPv4 addresses. Unfortunately, it creates confusion on big endian systems. For example, it shows the data &(u32)0x67503030 as %p4cn 00Pg (0x30305067) But people expect that the ordering stays the same. The network ordering is a big-endian ordering. The problem is that the semantic is not the same. The modifiers affect the output ordering of IPv4 addresses while they affect the reading order in case of FourCC code. Avoid the confusion by replacing the "n" modifier with "hR", aka reverse host ordering. It is inspired by the existing %p[mM]R printf format.

lib/vsprintf: Add support for generic FourCCs by extending %p4cc

2025-04-21T14:18:30+00:00

%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic 32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics: %p4ch Host byte order %p4cn Network byte order %p4cl Little-endian %p4cb Big-endian The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order (other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer value).

vsprintf: Use __diag macros to disable '-Wsuggest-attribute=format'

2025-04-10T14:08:37+00:00

The GCC specific warning '-Wsuggest-attribute=format' is disabled around va_format() using raw #pragma statements, which includes an '#ifndef __clang__' to avoid a warning about an unknown warning option from clang (which recognizes '#pragma GCC' for compatibility reasons): lib/vsprintf.c:1703:32: error: unknown warning group '-Wsuggest-attribute=format', ignored [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option] 1703 | #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wsuggest-attribute=format" | ^ While the current solution works, it is not visually appealing. The kernel already has some infrastructure that wraps these #pragma statements to give more specific control over diagnostics without needing #ifdef blocks for different compilers. Convert the existing statements over to the __diag macros.
