2009-10-01sscanf(): fix %*s%nAndy Spencer1-1/+1
When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately following the %*s. For example, the following code should find the position of the end of the string "hello". int end; char buf[] = "hello world"; sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end); printf("%d\n", end); Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is not included in the patch.

2009-09-17vsprintf: add %ps that is the same as %pS but is like %pfSteven Rostedt1-2/+4
On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions, but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function itself. mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf instead. %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f %pf produces just run_local_timers For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have %pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

2009-04-29vsprintf: introduce %pf format specifierFrederic Weisbecker1-6/+13
A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of months ago. The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol, but often we only want to print the name of the function, without its asm offset. That's what %pf does in this patch. The lowecase f has been chosen for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'. The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is also true for other parts of the kernel: $ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)" arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c: symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf); arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c: name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr); arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf); arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/kprobes.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL, kernel/lockdep.c: return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str); kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); kernel/trace/trace_output.c: kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str); Changes in v2: - Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf() - Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

2009-03-10vsprintf: fix bug in negative value printingFrederic Weisbecker1-7/+6
Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the vsprintf format decoding in: fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG). But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned. Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg() to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that hosts the value in case of negative values.

2009-03-06vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 usersFrederic Weisbecker1-431/+541
An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster. Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting job from tracing time to output time. Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace file. The new implementation stores the address of the format string and the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact and faster to insert. Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done. The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits. Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most possible common bits from these functions. The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see other parts that could be worth factorized. Changes in V2: - Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside a structure. Changes in v3: - Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string() Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns. It would be too risky. - Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains). - Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p Changes in v4: - drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char * (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

2009-01-03Make %p print '(null)' for NULL pointersLinus Torvalds1-0/+3
Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as just its numeric value. However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as such, rather than oopsing. This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of "[NULL]" to match glibc).

For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides.

2008-07-06vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formatsLinus Torvalds1-1/+40
They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-07-06vsprintf: add infrastructure support for extended '%p' specifiersLinus Torvalds1-2/+14
This expands the kernel '%p' handling with an arbitrary alphanumberic specifier extension string immediately following the '%p'. Right now it's just being ignored, but the next commit will start adding some specific pointer type extensions. NOTE! The reason the extension is appended to the '%p' is to allow minimal gcc type checking: gcc will still see the '%p' and will check that the argument passed in is indeed a pointer, and yet will not complain about the extended information that gcc doesn't understand about (on the other hand, it also won't actually check that the pointer type and the extension are compatible). Alphanumeric characters were chosen because there is no sane existing use for a string format with a hex pointer representation immediately followed by alphanumerics (which is what such a format string would have traditionally resulted in).

2008-02-08Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use themYi Yang1-0/+123
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.

2007-07-16vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2Denis Vlasenko1-3/+105
Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10. This is by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts performance. For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time. Using code from http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html (with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones) binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in some multiply instructions). On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code. This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached. I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times faster. On AMD64: # ./vsprintf_verify-O2 Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration Patched decimal conv: .......... 62 ns per iteration Testing correctness 12895992590592 ok... [Ctrl-C] # ./vsprintf_verify-O2 Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration Patched decimal conv: .......... 62 ns per iteration Testing correctness 26025406464 ok... [Ctrl-C] More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account any processing done after that, like sorting process list), and then I test it with 4000 processes: #!/bin/sh i=4000 while test $i != 0; do sleep 30 & let i-- done busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null on unpatched kernel: top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan on patched kernel: top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

2007-07-16vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)Denis Vlasenko1-28/+45
* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector, if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x"). * Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use pre decrement instead where makes sense: -       while (i < precision--) { +       while (i <= --precision) { * if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion. (More complex optimization for base 10 case is in the second patch). Overall, size vsprintf.o shows ~80 bytes smaller text section with this patch applied.

2007-05-08fix sscanf %n match at end of input stringJohannes Berg1-0/+11
I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n match should have been done where the input string ended, for example like this: sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* doesn't work */ sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */ However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that case because it has already matched the complete input after %d and just completely stops matching then.

2006-06-28Fix vsnprintf off-by-one bugLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
The recent vsnprintf() fix introduced an off-by-one, and it's now possible to overrun the target buffer by one byte. The "end" pointer points to past the end of the buffer, so if we have to truncate the result, it needs to be done though "end[-1]".

2006-06-25[PATCH] Fix bounds check in vsnprintf, to allow for a 0 size and NULL bufferJeremy Fitzhardinge1-32/+33
This change allows callers to use a 0-byte buffer and a NULL buffer pointer with vsnprintf, so it can be used to determine how large the resulting formatted string will be. Previously the code effectively treated a size of 0 as a size of 4G (on 32-bit systems), with other checks preventing it from actually trying to emit the string - but the terminal \0 would still be written, which would crash if the buffer is NULL. This change changes the boundary check so that 'end' points to the putative location of the terminal '\0', which is only written if size > 0. vsnprintf still allows the buffer size to be set very large, to allow unbounded buffer sizes (to implement sprintf, etc).

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau1-0/+1
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
