Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek John, it conflicts with the patchset removing printk safe buffers[1]. Would you prefer to queue this into the patchset? Or should I push it into printk/linux.git, printk-rework and you would base v2 on top of it? Best Regards, Petr

I'm guessing that at commit: 42a0bb3f7138 ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI"), the special name for vprintk_func() became obsolete.

[PATCH] printk: rename vprintk_func to vprintk
The printk code is already hard enough to understand. Remove an unnecessary indirection by renaming vprintk_func to vprintk (adding the asmlinkage annotation), and removing the vprintk definition from printk.c. That way, printk is implemented in terms of vprintk as one would expect, and there's no "vprintk_func, what's that? Some function pointer that gets set where?" The declaration of vprintk in linux/printk.h already has the __printf(1,0) attribute, there's no point repeating that with the definition - it's for diagnostics in callers. linux/printk.h already contains a static inline {return 0;} definition of vprintk when !CONFIG_PRINTK. Since the corresponding stub definition of vprintk_func was not marked "static inline", any translation unit including internal.h would get a definition of vprintk_func - it just so happens that for !CONFIG_PRINTK, there is precisely one such TU, namely printk.c. Had there been more, it would be a link error; now it's just a silly waste of a few bytes of .text, which one must assume are rather precious to anyone disabling PRINTK. $ objdump -dr kernel/printk/printk.o 0330 : 330: 31 c0 xor%eax,%eax 332: c3 ret 333: 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00lea0x0(%esi,%eiz,1),%esi 33a: 8d b6 00 00 00 00 lea0x0(%esi),%esi Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes --- kernel/printk/internal.h| 3 --- kernel/printk/printk.c | 8 +--- kernel/printk/printk_safe.c | 3 ++- 3 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/printk/internal.h b/kernel/printk/internal.h index 3a8fd491758c..1c7554f0e71b 100644 --- a/kernel/printk/internal.h +++ b/kernel/printk/internal.h @@ -21,7 +21,6 @@ int vprintk_store(int facility, int level, __printf(1, 0) int vprintk_default(const char *fmt, va_list args); __printf(1, 0) int vprintk_deferred(const char *fmt, va_list args); -__printf(1, 0) int vprintk_func(const char *fmt, va_list args); void __printk_safe_enter(void); void __printk_safe_exit(void); @@ -56,8 +55,6 @@ void defer_console_output(void); #else -__printf(1, 0) int vprintk_func(const char *fmt, va_list args) { return 0; } - /* * In !PRINTK builds we still export logbuf_lock spin_lock, console_sem * semaphore and some of console functions (console_unlock()/etc.), so diff --git a/kernel/printk/printk.c b/kernel/printk/printk.c index 575a34b88936..458707a06124 100644 --- a/kernel/printk/printk.c +++ b/kernel/printk/printk.c @@ -2104,12 +2104,6 @@ asmlinkage int vprintk_emit(int facility, int level, } EXPORT_SYMBOL(vprintk_emit); -asmlinkage int vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args) -{ - return vprintk_func(fmt, args); -} -EXPORT_SYMBOL(vprintk); - int vprintk_default(const char *fmt, va_list args) { return vprintk_emit(0, LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT, NULL, fmt, args); @@ -2143,7 +2137,7 @@ asmlinkage __visible int printk(const char *fmt, ...) int r; va_start(args, fmt); - r = vprintk_func(fmt, args); + r = vprintk(fmt, args); va_end(args); return r; diff --git a/kernel/printk/printk_safe.c b/kernel/printk/printk_safe.c index 2e9e3ed7d63e..87d2e86af122 100644 --- a/kernel/printk/printk_safe.c +++ b/kernel/printk/printk_safe.c @@ -367,7 +367,7 @@ void __printk_safe_exit(void) this_cpu_dec(printk_context); } -__printf(1, 0) int vprintk_func(const char *fmt, va_list args) +asmlinkage int vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args) { #ifdef CONFIG_KGDB_KDB /* Allow to pass printk() to kdb but avoid a recursion. */ @@ -420,3 +420,4 @@ void __init printk_safe_init(void) /* Flush pending messages that did not have scheduled IRQ works. */ printk_safe_flush(); } +EXPORT_SYMBOL(vprintk); -- 2.29.2
