[PATCH 0/6] Add printf attribute to kselftest functions

From: Wieczor-Retman, Maciej
Date: Mon Aug 28 2023 - 06:50:04 EST


Kselftest.h declares many variadic functions that can print some
formatted message while also executing selftest logic. These
declarations don't have any compiler mechanism to verify if passed
arguments are valid in comparison with format specifiers used in
printf() calls.

Attribute addition can make debugging easier, the code more consistent
and prevent mismatched or missing variables.

Add a __printf() macro that validates types of variables passed to the
format string. The macro is similiarly used in other tools in the kernel.

Add __printf() attributes to function definitions inside kselftest.h that
use printing.

Adding the __printf() macro exposes some mismatches in format strings
across different selftests.

Fix the mismatched format specifiers in multiple tests.

Wieczor-Retman, Maciej (6):
selftests: Add printf attribute to ksefltest prints
selftests/cachestat: Fix print_cachestat format
selftests/openat2: Fix wrong format specifier
selftests/pidfd: Fix ksft print formats
selftests/sigaltstack: Fix wrong format specifier
selftests/kvm: Replace attribute with macro
