[PATCH 0/9] kunit: Fix printf format specifier issues in KUnit assertions

From: David Gow
Date: Wed Feb 21 2024 - 04:28:22 EST


KUnit has several macros which accept a log message, which can contain
printf format specifiers. Some of these (the explicit log macros)
already use the __printf() gcc attribute to ensure the format specifiers
are valid, but those which could fail the test, and hence used
__kunit_do_failed_assertion() behind the scenes, did not.

These include:
- KUNIT_EXPECT_*_MSG()
- KUNIT_ASSERT_*_MSG()
- KUNIT_FAIL()

This series adds the __printf() attribute, and fixes all of the issues
uncovered. (Or, at least, all of those I could find with an x86_64
allyesconfig, and the default KUnit config on a number of other
architectures. Please test!)

The issues in question basically take the following forms:
- int / long / long long confusion: typically a type being updated, but
the format string not.
- Use of integer format specifiers (%d/%u/%li/etc) for types like size_t
or pointer differences (technically ptrdiff_t), which would only work
on some architectures.
- Use of integer format specifiers in combination with PTR_ERR(), where
%pe would make more sense.
- Use of empty messages which, whilst technically not incorrect, are not
useful and trigger a gcc warning.

We'd like to get these (or equivalent) in for 6.9 if possible, so please
do take a look if possible.

Thanks,
-- David
