Commit Message

audit_log_vformat() is using printf() type of format, and GCC compiler
(Debian 14.2.0-17) is not happy about this:

kernel/audit.c:1978:9: error: function ‘audit_log_vformat’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]
kernel/audit.c:1987:17: error: function ‘audit_log_vformat’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Werror=suggest-attribute=format]

Fix the compilation errors (`make W=1` when CONFIG_WERROR=y, which is default)
by adding __printf() attribute.

Any comments on this? Can it be applied?

Merged into audit/dev-staging, this will move to audit/dev after the
upcoming merge window.
