[PATCH 00/22] gcc-7 -Wformat-* warnings

[Arnd Bergmann]

This series addresses all warnings that gcc-7 introduces for
-Wformat-overflow= and turns off the -Wformat-truncation by default
(they remain enabled with "make W=1").

The -Wformat-overflow patches take varying approaches:

- When the final use of the buffer is not limited and we print
  into an intermediate variable on the stack, I generally make
  the temporary buffer slightly larger to accomodate all
  theoretically possible values. Usually the code is already
  correct for all expected values, but gcc doesn't see that.

- In some cases, we use a fixed-length buffer as the %s input
  for an sprintf to another buffer of the same length. Here
  I could make the first buffer slightly smaller so that gcc
  can prove the copies to be correct.

- In cases where the output buffer is required to have a fixed
  length, I use snprintf() instead of sprintf(). This turns
  the overflow warning into a truncation warning that is then
  ignored. Here it would be much nicer to have a way to tell
  the compiler what the maximum expected length is, but I
  couldn't figure out a way to actually shut up the truncation
  warning completely. Any ideas would be welcome.

Please review and apply as needed.
