From b9075fa968a0a4347aef35e235e2995c0e57dddd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 17:11:33 -0700
Subject: treewide: use __printf not __attribute__((format(printf,...)))

Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification.
Standardized the location of __printf too.

Done via script and a little typing.

$ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \
  grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \
  xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }'
