Kselftest.h declares many variadic functions that can print some
formatted message while also executing selftest logic. These
declarations don't have any compiler mechanism to verify if passed
arguments are valid in comparison with format specifiers used in
printf() calls.
Attribute addition can make debugging easier, the code more consistent
and prevent mismatched or missing variables.
Add a __printf() macro that validates types of variables passed to the
format string. The macro is similarly used in other tools in the kernel.
Add __printf() attributes to function definitions inside kselftest.h that
use printing.
Adding the __printf() macro exposes some mismatches in format strings
across different selftests.
Fix the mismatched format specifiers in multiple tests.
Series is based on kselftests next branch.

2.42.0
Kselftest header defines multiple variadic functions that use printf
along with other logic.
There is no format checking for the variadic functions that use
printing inside kselftest.h. Because of this the compiler won't
be able to catch instances of mismatched printf formats and debugging
tests might be more difficult.
Add the common __printf attribute macro to kselftest.h.
Add __printf attribute to every function using formatted printing with
variadic arguments.

I wrote the first patch that adds the check to functions with format
specifiers and I compiled all selftests. Then I just corrected any
warnings that were found by the __printf attribute.
Should I mention the methodology in the cover letter?
