From 4796dd200db943e36f876e7029552212e5bbdf33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:07:33 -0700 Subject: vsprintf: fix %ps on non symbols when using kallsyms Using %ps in a printk format will sometimes fail silently and print the empty string if the address passed in does not match a symbol that kallsyms knows about. But using %pS will fall back to printing the full address if kallsyms can't find the symbol. Make %ps act the same as %pS by falling back to printing the address. While we're here also make %ps print the module that a symbol comes from so that it matches what %pS already does. Take this simple function for example (in a module): static void test_printk(void) { int test; pr_info("with pS: %pS\n", &test); pr_info("with ps: %ps\n", &test); } Before this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: After this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: 0xdff7df44 Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/kallsyms.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/kallsyms.h') diff --git a/include/linux/kallsyms.h b/include/linux/kallsyms.h index 387571959dd9..6883e197acb9 100644 --- a/include/linux/kallsyms.h +++ b/include/linux/kallsyms.h @@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ const char *kallsyms_lookup(unsigned long addr, /* Look up a kernel symbol and return it in a text buffer. */ extern int sprint_symbol(char *buffer, unsigned long address); +extern int sprint_symbol_no_offset(char *buffer, unsigned long address); extern int sprint_backtrace(char *buffer, unsigned long address); /* Look up a kernel symbol and print it to the kernel messages. */ @@ -80,6 +81,12 @@ static inline int sprint_symbol(char *buffer, unsigned long addr) return 0; } +static inline int sprint_symbol_no_offset(char *buffer, unsigned long addr) +{ + *buffer = '\0'; + return 0; +} + static inline int sprint_backtrace(char *buffer, unsigned long addr) { *buffer = '\0'; -- cgit
