Some effort has already been made to do this conversion even thought the suffix is currently .txt Changes required to complete conversion - Move printk-formats.txt to core-api/printk-formats.rst - Add entry to Documentation/core-api/index.rst - Remove entry from Documentation/00-INDEX - Fix minor grammatical errors. - Order heading adornments as suggested by rst docs. - Use 'Passed by reference' uniformly. - Update pointer documentation around %px specifier. - Fix erroneous double backticks (to commas). - Simplify documentation for kobject. - Convert lib/vsnprintf.c function docs to use kernel-docs and include in Documentation/printk-formats.rst Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding --- v2: - Revert to use ASCII table. - Implement (or revert) changes as suggested by Randy Dunlap. - Change file location to core-api/ (inc required index changes) - Remove some of the double back ticks. Last two suggested by Jonathan Corbet. This patch is quite a bit bigger because of removing the extra double back ticks. It has been already (lightheartedly) observed that I may be making more changes than necessary. The back ticks stuff may incur the same reaction :) Documentation/00-INDEX | 2 - Documentation/core-api/index.rst | 1 + .../printk-formats.rst} | 268 +++++++++++---------- lib/vsprintf.c | 155 +++++------- 4 files changed, 196 insertions(+), 230 deletions(-) rename Documentation/{printk-formats.txt => core-api/printk-formats.rst} (59%) diff --git a/Documentation/00-INDEX b/Documentation/00-INDEX index 3bec49c33bbb..7023bfaec21c 100644 --- a/Documentation/00-INDEX +++ b/Documentation/00-INDEX @@ -346,8 +346,6 @@ prctl/ - directory with info on the priveledge control subsystem preempt-locking.txt - info on locking under a preemptive kernel. -printk-formats.txt - - how to get printk format specifiers right process/ - how to work with the mainline kernel development process. pps/ diff --git a/Documentation/core-api/index.rst b/Documentation/core-api/index.rst index d5bbe035316d..2f9df634a726 100644 --- a/Documentation/core-api/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/core-api/index.rst @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ Core utilities flexible-arrays librs genalloc + printk-formats Interfaces for kernel debugging =============================== diff --git a/Documentation/printk-formats.txt b/Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst similarity index 59% rename from Documentation/printk-formats.txt rename to Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst index aa0a776c817a..f1262a617dec 100644 --- a/Documentation/printk-formats.txt +++ b/Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst @@ -5,6 +5,7 @@ How to get printk format specifiers right :Author: Randy Dunlap :Author: Andrew Murray + Integer types ============= @@ -25,39 +26,49 @@ Integer types s64 %lld or %llx u64 %llu or %llx -If 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. + +If 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.

Consider - * to use print_hex_dump() for the larger input. - * - 'a[pd]' For address types [p] phys_addr_t, [d] dma_addr_t and derivatives - * (default assumed to be phys_addr_t, passed by reference) - * - 'd[234]' For a dentry name (optionally 2-4 last components) - * - 'D[234]' Same as 'd' but for a struct file - * - 'g' For block_device name (gendisk + partition number) - * - 'C' For a clock, it prints the name (Common Clock Framework) or address - * (legacy clock framework) of the clock - * - 'Cn' For a clock, it prints the name (Common Clock Framework) or address - * (legacy clock framework) of the clock - * - 'Cr' For a clock, it prints the current rate of the clock - * - 'G' For flags to be printed as a collection of symbolic strings that would - * construct the specific value. Supported flags given by option: - * p page flags (see struct page) given as pointer to unsigned long - * g gfp flags (GFP_* and __GFP_*) given as pointer to gfp_t - * v vma flags (VM_*) given as pointer to unsigned long - * - 'O' For a kobject based struct. Must be one of the following: - * - 'OF[fnpPcCF]' For a device tree object - * Without any optional arguments prints the full_name - * f device node full_name - * n device node name - * p device node phandle - * P device node path spec (name + @unit) - * F device node flags - * c major compatible string - * C full compatible string - * - * - 'x' For printing the address. Equivalent to "%lx". - * - * ** Please update also Documentation/printk-formats.txt when making changes ** - * * Note: The difference between 'S' and 'F' is that on ia64 and ppc64 * function pointers are really function descriptors, which contain a * pointer to the real address. -- 2.7.4
