[PATCH v5 0/8] Add printf attribute to kselftest functions
From: Maciej Wieczor-Retman
Date: Wed Oct 11 2023 - 04:24:08 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.
The first patch adds __printf() macro and applies it to all functions
in kselftest.h that use printf format specifiers. After compiling all
selftests using:
make -C tools/testing/selftests
many instances of format specifier mismatching are exposed in the form
of -Wformat warnings.
Fix the mismatched format specifiers caught by __printf() attribute in
multiple tests.
Series is based on kselftests next branch.
Changelog v5:
- Mention in the cover letter what methodology was used to find the
mismatched format specifiers.
- No functional changes in the patches.

- Fix patch 1/8 subject typo.
- Add Reinette's reviewed-by tags.
