Subject: [PATCH v2] printf: add support for printing symbolic error codes
Date:   Mon,  9 Sep 2019 22:38:25 +0200

Precedence: bulk

It has been suggested several times to extend vsnprintf() to be able
to convert the numeric value of ENOSPC to print "ENOSPC". This is yet
another attempt. Rather than adding another %p extension, simply teach
plain %p to convert ERR_PTRs. While the primary use case is

  if (IS_ERR(foo)) {
    pr_err("Sorry, can't do that: %p\n", foo);
    return PTR_ERR(foo);
  }

it is also more helpful to get a symbolic error code (or, worst case,
a decimal number) in case an ERR_PTR is accidentally passed to some
%p<something>, rather than the (efault) that check_pointer() would
result in.

With my embedded hat on, I've made it possible to remove this.

I've tested that the #ifdeffery in errcode.c is sufficient to make
this compile on arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, x86 - I'm sure the
0day bot will tell me which ones I've missed.

The symbols to include have been found by massaging the output of

  find arch include -iname 'errno*.h' | xargs grep -E 'define\s*E'

In the cases where some common aliasing exists
(e.g. EAGAIN=EWOULDBLOCK on all platforms, EDEADLOCK=EDEADLK on most),
I've moved the more popular one (in terms of 'git grep -w Efoo | wc)
to the bottom so that one takes precedence.

v2:
- add #include <linux/stddef.h> to errcode.h (0day)
- keep 'x' handling in switch() (Andy)
- add paragraph to Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst
- add ack from Uwe

+Error pointers, i.e. pointers for which IS_ERR() is true, are handled
+as follows: If CONFIG_SYMBOLIC_ERRCODE is set, an appropriate symbolic
+constant is printed. For example, '"%p", PTR_ERR(-ENOSPC)' results in
+"ENOSPC", while '"%p", PTR_ERR(-EWOULDBLOCK)' results in "EAGAIN"
+(since EAGAIN == EWOULDBLOCK, and the former is the most common). If
+CONFIG_SYMBOLIC_ERRCODE is not set, ERR_PTRs are printed as their
+decimal representation ("-28" and "-11" for the two examples).
