[PATCH v3 1/1] x86, relocs: add printf attribute to die()

From: Nicolas Iooss
Date: Sun Dec 18 2016 - 14:48:15 EST


Adding such an attribute helps to detect errors in the format string at
build time. After doing this, the compiler complains about such issues:

arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:460:5: error: format specifies type 'int'
but the argument has type 'Elf64_Xword' (aka 'unsigned long')
[-Werror,-Wformat]
sec->shdr.sh_size);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/tools/relocs.c:464:5: error: format specifies type 'int'
but the argument has type 'Elf64_Off' (aka 'unsigned long')
[-Werror,-Wformat]
sec->shdr.sh_offset, strerror(errno));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When relocs.c is included by relocs_32.c, sec->shdr.sh_size and
sec->shdr.sh_offset are 32-bit unsigned integers. When the file is
included by relocs_64.c, these expressions are 64-bit unsigned integers.

Introduce a PRIuELF macro to define the right format to use when
printing sh_size and sh_offset values.

While at it, constify the format attribute of die().

I sent the first versions of this patch in September (cf.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9312665/) but it has not been
applied.

As commit adee8705d251 ("x86/build: Annotate die() with noreturn to fix
build warning on clang") introduced the noreturn attribute to die(),
this patch now only adds the printf attribute.
