In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs. To make them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we want to dump also the symbolic flag names. So far this has been done with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not usable for e.g. sysfs export. To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp), gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv). Existing users of dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified. It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the %p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a non-critical path is negligible.

If variable is of Type, use printk format specifier:
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
int %d or %x
|
|
unsigned int %u or %x
|
|
long %ld or %lx
|
|
unsigned long %lu or %lx
|
|
long long %lld or %llx
|
|
unsigned long long %llu or %llx
|
|
size_t %zu or %zx
|
|
ssize_t %zd or %zx
|
|
s32 %d or %x
|
|
u32 %u or %x
|
|
s64 %lld or %llx
|
|
u64 %llu or %llx
|
|
|
|
If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
|
|
blkcnt_t) or is architecture-dependent for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a
|
|
format specifier of its largest possible type and explicitly cast to it.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
|
|
(unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);
|
|
|
|
Reminder: sizeof() result is of type size_t.
|
|
|
|
The kernel's printf does not support %n. For obvious reasons, floating
|
|
point formats (%e, %f, %g, %a) are also not recognized. Use of any
|
|
unsupported specifier or length qualifier results in a WARN and early
|
|
return from vsnprintf.
|
|
|
|
Raw pointer value SHOULD be printed with %p. The kernel supports
|
|
the following extended format specifiers for pointer types:
|
|
|
|
Symbols/Function Pointers:
|
|
|
|
%pF versatile_init+0x0/0x110
|
|
%pf versatile_init
|
|
%pS versatile_init+0x0/0x110
|
|
%pSR versatile_init+0x9/0x110
|
|
(with __builtin_extract_return_addr() translation)
|
|
%ps versatile_init
|
|
%pB prev_fn_of_versatile_init+0x88/0x88
|
|
|
|
For printing symbols and function pointers. The 'S' and 's' specifiers
|
|
result in the symbol name with ('S') or without ('s') offsets. Where
|
|
this is used on a kernel without KALLSYMS - the symbol address is
|
|
printed instead.
|
|
|
|
The 'B' specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be
|
|
used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into
|
|
consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur
|
|
when tail-call's are used and marked with the noreturn GCC attribute.
|
|
|
|
On ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 architectures function pointers are
|
|
actually function descriptors which must first be resolved. The 'F' and
|
|
'f' specifiers perform this resolution and then provide the same
|
|
functionality as the 'S' and 's' specifiers.
|
|
|
|
Kernel Pointers:
|
|
|
|
%pK 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing kernel pointers which should be hidden from unprivileged
|
|
users. The behaviour of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl - see
|
|
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt for more details.
|
|
|
|
Struct Resources:
|
|
|
|
%pr [mem 0x60000000-0x6fffffff flags 0x2200] or
|
|
[mem 0x0000000060000000-0x000000006fffffff flags 0x2200]
|
|
%pR [mem 0x60000000-0x6fffffff pref] or
|
|
[mem 0x0000000060000000-0x000000006fffffff pref]
|
|
|
|
For printing struct resources. The 'R' and 'r' specifiers result in a
|
|
printed resource with ('R') or without ('r') a decoded flags member.
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
Physical addresses types phys_addr_t:
|
|
|
|
%pa[p] 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing a phys_addr_t type (and its derivatives, such as
|
|
resource_size_t) which can vary based on build options, regardless of
|
|
the width of the CPU data path. Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
DMA addresses types dma_addr_t:
|
|
|
|
%pad 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing a dma_addr_t type which can vary based on build options,
|
|
regardless of the width of the CPU data path. Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
Raw buffer as an escaped string:
|
|
|
|
%*pE[achnops]
|
|
|
|
For printing raw buffer as an escaped string. For the following buffer
|
|
|
|
1b 62 20 5c 43 07 22 90 0d 5d
|
|
|
|
few examples show how the conversion would be done (the result string
|
|
without surrounding quotes):
|
|
|
|
%*pE "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"
|
|
%*pEhp "\x1bb \C\x07"\x90\x0d]"
|
|
%*pEa "\e\142\040\\\103\a\042\220\r\135"
|
|
|
|
The conversion rules are applied according to an optional combination
|
|
of flags (see string_escape_mem() kernel documentation for the
|
|
details):
|
|
a - ESCAPE_ANY
|
|
c - ESCAPE_SPECIAL
|
|
h - ESCAPE_HEX
|
|
n - ESCAPE_NULL
|
|
o - ESCAPE_OCTAL
|
|
p - ESCAPE_NP
|
|
s - ESCAPE_SPACE
|
|
By default ESCAPE_ANY_NP is used.
|
|
|
|
ESCAPE_ANY_NP is the sane choice for many cases, in particularly for
|
|
printing SSIDs.
|
|
|
|
If field width is omitted the 1 byte only will be escaped.
|
|
|
|
Raw buffer as a hex string:
|
|
|
|
%*ph 00 01 02 ... 3f
|
|
%*phC 00:01:02: ... :3f
|
|
%*phD 00-01-02- ... -3f
|
|
%*phN 000102 ... 3f
|
|
|
|
For printing a small buffers (up to 64 bytes long) as a hex string with
|
|
certain separator. For the larger buffers consider to use
|
|
print_hex_dump().
|
|
|
|
MAC/FDDI addresses:
|
|
|
|
%pM 00:01:02:03:04:05
|
|
%pMR 05:04:03:02:01:00
|
|
%pMF 00-01-02-03-04-05
|
|
%pm 000102030405
|
|
%pmR 050403020100
|
|
|
|
For printing 6-byte MAC/FDDI addresses in hex notation. The 'M' and 'm'
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with ('M') or without ('m') byte
|
|
separators. The default byte separator is the colon (':').
|
|
|
|
Where FDDI addresses are concerned the 'F' specifier can be used after
|
|
the 'M' specifier to use dash ('-') separators instead of the default
|
|
separator.
|
|
|
|
For Bluetooth addresses the 'R' specifier shall be used after the 'M'
|
|
specifier to use reversed byte order suitable for visual interpretation
|
|
of Bluetooth addresses which are in the little endian order.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
IPv4 addresses:
|
|
|
|
%pI4 1.2.3.4
|
|
%pi4 001.002.003.004
|
|
%p[Ii]4[hnbl]
|
|
|
|
For printing IPv4 dot-separated decimal addresses. The 'I4' and 'i4'
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with ('i4') or without ('I4')
|
|
leading zeros.
|
|
|
|
The additional 'h', 'n', 'b', and 'l' specifiers are used to specify
|
|
host, network, big or little endian order addresses respectively. Where
|
|
no specifier is provided the default network/big endian order is used.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
IPv6 addresses:
|
|
|
|
%pI6 0001:0002:0003:0004:0005:0006:0007:0008
|
|
%pi6 00010002000300040005000600070008
|
|
%pI6c 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8
|
|
|
|
For printing IPv6 network-order 16-bit hex addresses. The 'I6' and 'i6'
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with ('I6') or without ('i6')
|
|
colon-separators. Leading zeros are always used.
|
|
|
|
The additional 'c' specifier can be used with the 'I' specifier to
|
|
print a compressed IPv6 address as described by
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
IPv4/IPv6 addresses (generic, with port, flowinfo, scope):
|
|
|
|
%pIS 1.2.3.4 or 0001:0002:0003:0004:0005:0006:0007:0008
|

|
|
%p[Ii]S[pfschnbl]
|
|
|
|
For printing an IP address without the need to distinguish whether it's
|
|
of type AF_INET or AF_INET6, a pointer to a valid 'struct sockaddr',
|
|
specified through 'IS' or 'iS', can be passed to this format specifier.
|
|
|
|
The additional 'p', 'f', and 's' specifiers are used to specify port
|
|
(IPv4, IPv6), flowinfo (IPv6) and scope (IPv6). Ports have a ':' prefix,
|
|
flowinfo a '/' and scope a '%', each followed by the actual value.
|
|
|
|
In case of an IPv6 address the compressed IPv6 address as described by
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952 is being used if the additional
|
|
specifier 'c' is given. The IPv6 address is surrounded by '[', ']' in
|
|
case of additional specifiers 'p', 'f' or 's' as suggested by
|
|
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-text-addr-representation-07
|
|
|
|
In case of IPv4 addresses, the additional 'h', 'n', 'b', and 'l'
|
|
specifiers can be used as well and are ignored in case of an IPv6
|
|
address.

|
|
%pUL 03020100-0504-0706-0809-0A0B0C0E0E0F
|
|
|
|
For printing 16-byte UUID/GUIDs addresses. The additional 'l', 'L',
|
|
'b' and 'B' specifiers are used to specify a little endian order in
|
|
lower ('l') or upper case ('L') hex characters - and big endian order
|
|
in lower ('b') or upper case ('B') hex characters.
|
|
|
|
Where no additional specifiers are used the default big endian
|
|
order with lower case hex characters will be printed.

|
dentry names:
|
|
|
|
%pd{,2,3,4}
|
|
%pD{,2,3,4}
|
|
|
|
For printing dentry name; if we race with d_move(), the name might be
|
|
a mix of old and new ones, but it won't oops. %pd dentry is a safer
|
|
equivalent of %s dentry->d_name.name we used to use, %pd<n> prints
|
|
n last components. %pD does the same thing for struct file.

|
block_device names:
|
|
|
|
%pg sda, sda1 or loop0p1
|
|

|
For printing name of block_device pointers.
|
|
|
|
struct va_format:
|
|
|
|
%pV
|
|
|
|
For printing struct va_format structures. These contain a format string
|
|
and va_list as follows:
|
|
|
|
struct va_format {
|
|
const char *fmt;
|
|
va_list *va;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Implements a "recursive vsnprintf".

|
|
|
%pC pll1
|
|
%pCn pll1
|
|

|
|
|
|
For printing struct clk structures. '%pC' and '%pCn' print the name
|
|
(Common Clock Framework) or address (legacy clock framework) of the
|
|
structure; '%pCr' prints the current clock rate.

|
|
|
|
For printing bitmap and its derivatives such as cpumask and nodemask,

|
%pGg GFP_USER|GFP_DMA32|GFP_NOWARN
|
|
%pGv read|exec|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|denywrite
|
|
|
|
For printing flags bitfields as a collection of symbolic constants that
|
|
would construct the value. The type of flags is given by the third
|
|
character. Currently supported are [p]age flags, [v]ma_flags (both
|
|
expect unsigned long *) and [g]fp_flags (expects gfp_t *). The flag
|
|
names and print order depends on the particular type.
|
|
|
|
Note that this format should not be used directly in TP_printk() part
|
|
of a tracepoint. Instead, use the show_*_flags() functions from
|
|
<trace/events/mmflags.h>.
