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 --- lib/vsprintf.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/vsprintf.c b/lib/vsprintf.c index abbabec9720a..f5dfe0ca34f6 100644 --- a/lib/vsprintf.c +++ b/lib/vsprintf.c @@ -436,7 +436,7 @@ char *symbol_string(char *buf, char *end, void *ptr, else if (ext != 'f' && ext != 's') sprint_symbol(sym, value); else - kallsyms_lookup(value, NULL, NULL, NULL, sym); + sprint_symbol_no_offset(sym, value); return string(buf, end, sym, spec); #else -- cgit v1.2.1
