[PATCH v2 0/2] lib/vsprintf: introduce stricter rules for %p extensions

From: Andy Shevchenko
Date: Tue Dec 29 2015 - 11:42:56 EST


Besides the code refactoring we introduce the following rules for %p extensions
here. i.e:

- fixed type extensions are always printed in hex format, prefixed by '0x',
small letters, full field width on a running architecture (%pa[dp], %pNF)

- fallback to %p based on different kernel configuration will be under the same
rule set as for fixed types above (%pCn when COMMON_CLK=n, %p[FfSsB] when
KALLSYMS=n)

- fallback to %p of unimplemented extension will be under the same rule set as
for fixed types above (%pN)

Since v1:
- address comments from Joe and Rasmums (might be not all of them)
- add patch 2
- desribe in cover letter what is done besides refactoring

Andy Shevchenko (2):
lib/vsprintf: refactor duplicate code to special_hex_number()
lib/vsprintf: factor out %pN[F] handler as netdev_bits()
