Subject: [PATCH v7 14/25] vsprintf: add new `%pA` format specifier
Date:   Mon, 23 May 2022 04:01:27 +0200
Message-Id: <20220523020209.11810-15-ojeda@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20220523020209.11810-1-ojeda@kernel.org>

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

This patch adds a format specifier `%pA` to `vsprintf` which formats
a pointer as `core::fmt::Arguments`. Doing so allows us to directly
format to the internal buffer of `printf`, so we do not have to use
a temporary buffer on the stack to pre-assemble the message on
the Rust side.

This specifier is intended only to be used from Rust and not for C, so
`checkpatch.pl` is intentionally unchanged to catch any misuse.
