3b033380cb printk-formats.txt: standardize document format
Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- add a title for the document;
- add markups for section titles;
- move authorship to the beginning and use :Author:;
- use right markup for tables;
- mark literals and literal blocks.

ce4fecf1fe vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device tree
90% of the usage of device node's full_name is printing it out in a
kernel message. However, storing the full path for every node is
wasteful and redundant. With a custom format specifier, we can generate
the full path at run-time and eventually remove the full path from every
node.

For instance typical use is:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %s\n", node->full_name);

Which can be written now as:
	pr_info("Frobbing node %pOF\n", node);

'%pO' is the base specifier to represent kobjects with '%pOF'
representing struct device_node. Currently, struct device_node is the
only supported type of kobject.

More fine-grained control of formatting includes printing the name,
flags, path-spec name and others, explained in the documentation entry.

Originally written by Pantelis, but pretty much rewrote the core
function using existing string/number functions. The 2 passes were
unnecessary and have been removed. Also, updated the checkpatch.pl
check. The unittest code was written by Grant Likely.

edf14cdbf9 mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags
In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed
for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs.  To make
them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we
want to dump also the symbolic flag names.  So far this has been done
with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not
usable for e.g.  sysfs export.

To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends
printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp),
gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv).  Existing users of
dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified.

It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the
%p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel
structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a
non-critical path is negligible.

This patch series improves the documentation for printk() formats, and
adds support for printing clocks.  The latter has always been a hassle if
you wanted to support both the common and legacy clock frameworks.

  - '%pC' and '%pCn' print the name (Common Clock Framework) or address
    (legacy clock framework) of a clock,
  - '%pCr' prints the current clock rate.

This patch (of 3):

Make sure all %p extensions that take parameters by references are
documented to do so.

1067964305 lib: vsprintf: add IPv4/v6 generic %p[Ii]S[pfs] format specifier
In order to avoid making code that deals with printing both, IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses, unnecessary complicated as for example ...

  if (sa.sa_family == AF_INET6)
    printk("... %pI6 ...", ..sin6_addr);
  else
    printk("... %pI4 ...", ..sin_addr.s_addr);

... it would be better to introduce a format specifier that can deal
with those kind of situations internally; just as we have a "struct
sockaddr" for generic mapping into "struct sockaddr_in" or "struct
sockaddr_in6" as e.g. done in "union sctp_addr". Then, we could
reduce the above statement into something like:

  printk("... %pIS ..", &sockaddr);

In case our pointer is NULL, pointer() then deals with that already at
an earlier point in time internally. While we're at it, support for both
%piS/%pIS, where 'S' stands for sockaddr, comes (almost) for free.

Additionally to that, postfix specifiers 'p', 'f' and 's' are supported
as suggested and initially implemented in 2009 by Joe Perches [1].
Handling of those additional specifiers orientate on the initial RFC that
was proposed. Also we support IPv6 compressed format specified by 'c' and
various other IPv4 extensions as stated in the documentation part.

Likely, there are many other areas than just SCTP in the kernel to make
use of this extension as well.

Pull fixup for trivial branch from Jiri Kosina:
 "Unfortunately I made a mistake when merging into for-linus branch, and
  omitted one pre-requisity patch for a few other patches (which have
  been Acked by the appropriate maintainers) in the series.  Mea culpa
  maxima, sorry for that."

The trivial branch added %pSR usage before actually teaching vsnprintf()
about the 'R' part of %pSR.  The 'R' causes the symbol translation to do
a "__builtin_extract_return_addr()" before symbol lookup.

That said, on most architectures __builtin_extract_return_addr() isn't
likely to do anything special, so it probably is not normally
noticeable.

b0d33c2bd7 vsprintf: Add extension %pSR - print_symbol replacement
print_symbol takes a long and converts it to a function
name and offset.  %pS does something similar, but doesn't
translate the address via __builtin_extract_return_addr.
%pSR does the translation.

This will enable replacing multiple calls like
	printk(...);
	printk_symbol(addr);
	printk("\n");
with a single non-interleavable in dmesg
	printk("... %pSR\n", (void *)addr);

31550a16a5 vsprintf: add support of '%*ph[CDN]'
There are many places in the kernel where the drivers print small buffers
as a hex string.  This patch adds a support of the variable width buffer
to print it as a hex string with a delimiter.  The idea came from Pavel
Roskin here: http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/18835/17449/

Sample output of
	pr_info("buf[%d:%d] %*phC\n", from, len, len, &buf[from]);
could be look like this:
