whenever the %: format is used on NetBSD/Alpha. Disable %: for __alpha__.
Note: the "correct" (but untested on other architectures) fix is to
change the wrong: kprintf(cp, oflags, tp, NULL, va_arg(ap, va_list));
to the right: kprintf(cp, oflags, tp, NULL, ap);
floating point stuff removed].
the new kprintf replaces the 3 different (and buggy) versions of
printf that were in the kernel before (kprintf, sprintf, and db_printf),
thus reducing duplicated code by 2/3's. this fixes (or adds) several
printf formats. examples:
%#x - previously only supported by db_printf [not printf/sprintf]
%8.8s - printf would print "000chuck" for "chuck" before
%5p - printf would print "0x 1" for value 1 before
XXX: new kprintf still supports several non-standard '%' formats that
are supposed to eventually be removed:
%: - passes an additional format string and argument list recursively
%b - used to decode error registers
%r - int, but print in radix "db_radix" [DDB only]
%z - 'signed hex' [DDB only]
%n - unsigned int, but print in radix "db_radix" [DDB only]
note that DDB's "%n" conflicts with standard "%n" which takes the
number of characters written so far and stores it into the integer
indicated by the "int *" pointer arg. yuck!
while here, add comments for each function explaining what it is
supposed to do.
msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
the format modifer. Reported by and suggested fix from Daniel G. Pouzzner
in PR #2633. Final fix is slightly different now that we support the %q
modifier. This fix also includes the equivalent fix for sprintf().
representing the names of those bits, prints them into a buffer
provided by the caller, and returns a pointer to that buffer.
Functionality is identical to that of the (non-standard) `%b' printf()
format, which will be deprecated.
Rename the non-exported function ksprintn() to ksnprintn(), and change
it to use a buffer provided by the caller, rather than at static
buffer.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
