Subject: vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~18040
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c80cfb0406c01bb5da91bfe30f5cb1fd96831138;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

vsprintf: use new vsprintf symbolic function pointer format

Use the '%pF' format to get rid of an "#ifdef DEBUG" and make some printks
atomic.

This removes the last in-tree uses of print_fn_descriptor_symbol().  I
marked print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecated and scheduled it for
removal next year to give time for out-of-tree modules to be updated.

parisc's print_fn_descriptor_symbol() is currently broken there (it needs
to dereference the function pointer similar to ia64 and power).  This
patch shouldn't make anything worse, but it means we need to fix
dereference_function_descriptor() instead of print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
to get meaningful initcall_debug output.

+What: print_fn_descriptor_symbol()
+When: October 2009
+Why:  The %pF vsprintf format provides the same functionality in a
