[PATCH v1 1/1] selftests: mm: uufd-unit-tests: remove a format warning in printf

From: Mirsad Todorovac
Date: Sat Jun 10 2023 - 20:22:09 EST


GCC 11.3.0 issued warnings about macros and types of arguments [edited]:

gcc -Wall -I ../tools/testing/selftests/../../.. \
-I ../tools/testing/selftests/../../../tools/include/uapi \
-isystem ../usr/include -no-pie uffd-unit-tests.c vm_util.c \
uffd-common.c -lrt -lpthread -o \
../tools/testing/selftests/mm/uffd-unit-tests
uffd-unit-tests.c: In function ‘main’:
uffd-unit-tests.c:1198:41: warning: format not a string literal and no \
format arguments [-Wformat-security]
1198 | uffd_test_start(test_name);
| ^~~~~~~~~
uffd-unit-tests.c:100:24: note: in definition of macro ‘uffd_test_start’
100 | printf(__VA_ARGS__); \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
uffd-unit-tests.c:1205:33: warning: format not a string literal and no \
format arguments [-Wformat-security]
1205 | uffd_test_skip(errmsg);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The macros are defined as:

#define uffd_test_start(...) do { \
printf("Testing "); \
printf(__VA_ARGS__); \
printf("... "); \
fflush(stdout); \
} while (0)

#define uffd_test_skip(...) do { \
printf("skipped [reason: "); \
printf(__VA_ARGS__); \
printf("]\n"); \
ksft_inc_xskip_cnt(); \
} while (0)

Minor workaround, adding "%s" first argument to macro expansion calls seems
to be the easiest way to eliminate the warnings.
