They result in the symbol name with (S) or without (s) offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol address is printed instead. -Note, that the ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are identical to ``S`` (``s``) -and thus deprecated. We have ``F`` and ``f`` because on ia64, ppc64 and -parisc64 function pointers are indirect and, in fact, are function -descriptors, which require additional dereferencing before we can lookup -the symbol. As of now, ``S`` and ``s`` perform dereferencing on those -platforms (when needed), so ``F`` and ``f`` exist for compatibility -reasons only. - The ``B`` specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur diff --git a/lib/vsprintf.c b/lib/vsprintf.c index e78017a3e1bd..7eb6417b3aae 100644 --- a/lib/vsprintf.c +++ b/lib/vsprintf.c @@ -918,7 +918,7 @@ char *symbol_string(char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, #ifdef CONFIG_KALLSYMS if (*fmt == 'B') sprint_backtrace(sym, value); - else if (*fmt != 'f' && *fmt != 's') + else if (*fmt != 's') sprint_symbol(sym, value); else sprint_symbol_no_offset(sym, value); @@ -2016,9 +2016,7 @@ static char *kobject_string(char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, * * - 'S' For symbolic direct pointers (or function descriptors) with offset * - 's' For symbolic direct pointers (or function descriptors) without offset - * - 'F' Same as 'S' - * - 'f' Same as 's' - * - '[FfSs]R' as above with __builtin_extract_return_addr() translation + * - '[Ss]R' as above with __builtin_extract_return_addr() translation * - 'B' For backtraced symbolic direct pointers with offset * - 'R' For decoded struct resource, e.g., [mem 0x0-0x1f 64bit pref] * - 'r' For raw struct resource, e.g., [mem 0x0-0x1f flags 0x201] @@ -2121,8 +2119,6 @@ char *pointer(const char *fmt, char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, struct printf_spec spec) { switch (*fmt) { - case 'F': - case 'f': case 'S': case 's': ptr = dereference_symbol_descriptor(ptr); @@ -2819,8 +2815,6 @@ int vbin_printf(u32 *bin_buf, size_t size, const char *fmt, va_list args) /* Dereference of functions is still OK */ case 'S': case 's': - case 'F': - case 'f': case 'x': case 'K': save_arg(void *); diff --git a/scripts/checkpatch.pl b/scripts/checkpatch.pl index 6fcc66afb088..03c574a49e1a 100755 --- a/scripts/checkpatch.pl +++ b/scripts/checkpatch.pl @@ -6039,7 +6039,6 @@ sub process { my $ext_type = "Invalid"; my $use = ""; if ($bad_specifier =~ /p[Ff]/) { - $ext_type = "Deprecated"; $use = " - use %pS instead"; $use =~ s/pS/ps/ if ($bad_specifier =~ /pf/); } |
