Could use exactly the same in fault_64.c

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
- "%s%s[%d]: segfault at %08lx ip %08lx sp %08lx error %lx\n",
+ "%s%s[%d]: segfault at %lx ip %08lx sp %08lx error %lx\n",
#else
"%s%s[%d]: segfault at %lx ip %lx sp %lx error %lx\n",
#endif

With the ongoing unification work, it would be nice if we could come
up with a way to unify printks like this. Anyone have any bright ideas
on a format that will keep the current alignment on 32 and 64 bit with
the same syntax, or will these tiny ifdefs keep sprouting?


Casting to (void *) and using %p is probably your best bet. That's what it really is anyway.

Note: in the kernel right now, %p doesn't have the leading 0x prefix, which it probably should...
