x86/bug: Add printf() validation to HAVE_ARCH_BUG_FORMAT_ARGS WARNs
Add explicit printf() validation for x86-64's newfangled WARN implementation, as most (all?) compilers fail to detect basic formatting issues without the annotation. E.g. even goofs like printing a u64 as a string aren't detected: WARN_ONCE(1, "Bad message, %s", vcpu->arch.last_guest_tsc); 32-bit x86 doesn't support HAVE_ARCH_BUG_FORMAT_ARGS and uses generic implementations that provide printf() validation. This means there's now a big blind spot is code that is strictly x86-64. Inconveniently, new features are also frequently x86-64-only. Fix the blind 64-bit blind spot. [ dhansen: changelog tweaks to flesh out the 64-bit-only details ] Fixes: 5b472b6e5bd9 ("x86_64/bug: Implement __WARN_printf()") Fixes: 11bb4944f014 ("x86/bug: Implement WARN_ONCE()") Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/adc1IrD8uqWdaOKv@yzhao56-desk.sh.intel.com Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260423145419.459988-2-seanjc@google.com
