Sure, I'll add notes on methodology to patches 2-8. I understand that this patch (1/8) message doesn't need that addition since the problems it exposes are in separate patches. Or would you like me to also note here more specifically what effect it has in the rest of the series? >I am seeing checkpatch warning: > >WARNING: Prefer __printf(a, b) over __attribute__((format(printf, a, b))) >#102: FILE: tools/testing/selftests/kselftest.h:81: >+#define __printf(a, b) __attribute__((format(printf, a, b))) Running checkpatch.pl with --show-types shows the PREFER_DEFINED_ATTRIBUTE_MACRO is raised. From looking at the error message in the script it looks like a false positive: "Prefer $new over __attribute__(($orig_attr$params))\n" Please correct me if my train of thought is wrong but I think checkpatch sees __printf() macro defined and it sees it's raw version "__attribute__((format(printf, a, b)))" which it wants to replace with the macro. But since the raw version is found in the define line that is obviously not possible. >thanks, >-- Shuah

Checkpatch's logic cannot differentiate the definition from the use of __printf(), it just assumes __printf() is there already, which is not true for selftests. The patch adds the capability to use __printf() elsewhere in the selftests code but of course the definition of __printf() itself has to use __attribute__().

Thanks for confirming. I went through all the patches, made corrections and sent v6 of the series.
