This patch has caused a regression on 4.16 using kselftest lib/printf.sh
- specifically, when it runs "/sbin/modprobe test_printf". This
regression has been detected on arm64 dragonboard 410c (not seen on
other arm64 or x86_64 devices).
/sbin/modprobe test_printf
[ 22.725551] test_printf: hashing plain 'p' has unexpected format
[ 22.726031] test_printf: failed 1 out of 236 tests
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'test_printf': Invalid argument
This problem has not been seen on 4.9 or 4.14 under the same
conditions.
