Integer types
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
If variable is of Type, use printk format specifier:
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
char %hhd or %hhx
|
|
unsigned char %hhu or %hhx
|
|
short int %hd or %hx
|
|
unsigned short int %hu or %hx
|
|
int %d or %x
|
|
unsigned int %u or %x
|
|
long %ld or %lx
|
|
unsigned long %lu or %lx
|
|
long long %lld or %llx
|
|
unsigned long long %llu or %llx
|
|
size_t %zu or %zx
|
|
ssize_t %zd or %zx
|
|
s8 %hhd or %hhx
|
|
u8 %hhu or %hhx
|
|
s16 %hd or %hx
|
|
u16 %hu or %hx
|
|
s32 %d or %x
|
|
u32 %u or %x
|
|
s64 %lld or %llx
|
|
u64 %llu or %llx
|
|
|
|
|
|
If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
|
|
blkcnt_t) or is architecture-dependent for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a
|
|
format specifier of its largest possible type and explicitly cast to it.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
|
|
(unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);
|
|
|
|
Reminder: sizeof() returns type size_t.
|
|
|
|
The kernel's printf does not support %n. Floating point formats (%e, %f,
|
|
%g, %a) are also not recognized, for obvious reasons. Use of any
|
|
unsupported specifier or length qualifier results in a WARN and early
|
|
return from vsnprintf().
|
|
|
|
Pointer types
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
A raw pointer value may be printed with %p which will hash the address
|
|
before printing. The kernel also supports extended specifiers for printing
|
|
pointers of different types.
|
|
|
|
Plain Pointers
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%p abcdef12 or 00000000abcdef12
|
|
|
|
Pointers printed without a specifier extension (i.e unadorned %p) are
|
|
hashed to prevent leaking information about the kernel memory layout. This
|
|
has the added benefit of providing a unique identifier. On 64-bit machines
|
|
the first 32 bits are zeroed. The kernel will print ``(ptrval)`` until it
|
|
gathers enough entropy. If you *really* want the address see %px below.
|
|
|
|
Symbols/Function Pointers
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pS versatile_init+0x0/0x110
|
|
%ps versatile_init
|
|
%pF versatile_init+0x0/0x110
|
|
%pf versatile_init
|
|
%pSR versatile_init+0x9/0x110
|
|
(with __builtin_extract_return_addr() translation)
|
|
%pB prev_fn_of_versatile_init+0x88/0x88
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``S`` and ``s`` specifiers are used for printing a pointer in symbolic
|
|
format. They result in the symbol name with (S) or without (s)
|
|
offsets. If KALLSYMS are disabled then the symbol address is printed instead.
|
|
|
|
Note, that the ``F`` and ``f`` specifiers are identical to ``S`` (``s``)
|
|
and thus deprecated. We have ``F`` and ``f`` because on ia64, ppc64 and
|
|
parisc64 function pointers are indirect and, in fact, are function
|
|
descriptors, which require additional dereferencing before we can lookup
|
|
the symbol. As of now, ``S`` and ``s`` perform dereferencing on those
|
|
platforms (when needed), so ``F`` and ``f`` exist for compatibility
|
|
reasons only.
|
|
|
|
The ``B`` specifier results in the symbol name with offsets and should be
|
|
used when printing stack backtraces. The specifier takes into
|
|
consideration the effect of compiler optimisations which may occur
|
|
when tail-calls are used and marked with the noreturn GCC attribute.
|
|
|
|
Kernel Pointers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pK 01234567 or 0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing kernel pointers which should be hidden from unprivileged
|
|
users. The behaviour of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl - see
|
|
Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt for more details.
|
|
|
|
Unmodified Addresses
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%px 01234567 or 0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing pointers when you *really* want to print the address. Please
|
|
consider whether or not you are leaking sensitive information about the
|
|
kernel memory layout before printing pointers with %px. %px is functionally
|
|
equivalent to %lx (or %lu). %px is preferred because it is more uniquely
|
|
grep'able. If in the future we need to modify the way the kernel handles
|
|
printing pointers we will be better equipped to find the call sites.
|
|
|
|
Struct Resources
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pr [mem 0x60000000-0x6fffffff flags 0x2200] or
|
|
[mem 0x0000000060000000-0x000000006fffffff flags 0x2200]
|
|
%pR [mem 0x60000000-0x6fffffff pref] or
|
|
[mem 0x0000000060000000-0x000000006fffffff pref]
|
|
|
|
For printing struct resources. The ``R`` and ``r`` specifiers result in a
|
|
printed resource with (R) or without (r) a decoded flags member.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
Physical address types phys_addr_t
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pa[p] 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing a phys_addr_t type (and its derivatives, such as
|
|
resource_size_t) which can vary based on build options, regardless of the
|
|
width of the CPU data path.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
DMA address types dma_addr_t
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pad 0x01234567 or 0x0123456789abcdef
|
|
|
|
For printing a dma_addr_t type which can vary based on build options,
|
|
regardless of the width of the CPU data path.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
Raw buffer as an escaped string
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%*pE[achnops]
|
|
|
|
For printing raw buffer as an escaped string. For the following buffer::
|
|
|
|
1b 62 20 5c 43 07 22 90 0d 5d
|
|
|
|
A few examples show how the conversion would be done (excluding surrounding
|
|
quotes)::
|
|
|
|
%*pE "\eb \C\a"\220\r]"
|
|
%*pEhp "\x1bb \C\x07"\x90\x0d]"
|
|
%*pEa "\e\142\040\\\103\a\042\220\r\135"
|
|
|
|
The conversion rules are applied according to an optional combination
|
|
of flags (see :c:func:`string_escape_mem` kernel documentation for the
|
|
details):
|
|
|
|
- a - ESCAPE_ANY
|
|
- c - ESCAPE_SPECIAL
|
|
- h - ESCAPE_HEX
|
|
- n - ESCAPE_NULL
|
|
- o - ESCAPE_OCTAL
|
|
- p - ESCAPE_NP
|
|
- s - ESCAPE_SPACE
|
|
|
|
By default ESCAPE_ANY_NP is used.
|
|
|
|
ESCAPE_ANY_NP is the sane choice for many cases, in particularly for
|
|
printing SSIDs.
|
|
|
|
If field width is omitted then 1 byte only will be escaped.
|
|
|
|
Raw buffer as a hex string
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%*ph 00 01 02 ... 3f
|
|
%*phC 00:01:02: ... :3f
|
|
%*phD 00-01-02- ... -3f
|
|
%*phN 000102 ... 3f
|
|
|
|
For printing small buffers (up to 64 bytes long) as a hex string with a
|
|
certain separator. For larger buffers consider using
|
|
:c:func:`print_hex_dump`.
|
|
|
|
MAC/FDDI addresses
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pM 00:01:02:03:04:05
|
|
%pMR 05:04:03:02:01:00
|
|
%pMF 00-01-02-03-04-05
|
|
%pm 000102030405
|
|
%pmR 050403020100
|
|
|
|
For printing 6-byte MAC/FDDI addresses in hex notation. The ``M`` and ``m``
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with (M) or without (m) byte
|
|
separators. The default byte separator is the colon (:).
|
|
|
|
Where FDDI addresses are concerned the ``F`` specifier can be used after
|
|
the ``M`` specifier to use dash (-) separators instead of the default
|
|
separator.
|
|
|
|
For Bluetooth addresses the ``R`` specifier shall be used after the ``M``
|
|
specifier to use reversed byte order suitable for visual interpretation
|
|
of Bluetooth addresses which are in the little endian order.
|
|
|
|

|
IPv4 addresses
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pI4 1.2.3.4
|
|
%pi4 001.002.003.004
|
|
%p[Ii]4[hnbl]
|
|
|
|
For printing IPv4 dot-separated decimal addresses. The ``I4`` and ``i4``
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with (i4) or without (I4) leading
|
|
zeros.
|
|
|
|
The additional ``h``, ``n``, ``b``, and ``l`` specifiers are used to specify
|
|
host, network, big or little endian order addresses respectively. Where
|
|
no specifier is provided the default network/big endian order is used.
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.

IPv6 addresses
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
::
|

|
|
%pi6 00010002000300040005000600070008
|
|
%pI6c 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8
|
|
|
|
For printing IPv6 network-order 16-bit hex addresses. The ``I6`` and ``i6``
|
|
specifiers result in a printed address with (I6) or without (i6)
|
|
colon-separators. Leading zeros are always used.
|
|
|
|
The additional ``c`` specifier can be used with the ``I`` specifier to
|
|
print a compressed IPv6 address as described by
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952
|
|
|
|
Passed by reference.
|
|
|
|
IPv4/IPv6 addresses (generic, with port, flowinfo, scope)
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
%pIS 1.2.3.4 or 0001:0002:0003:0004:0005:0006:0007:0008
|
|
%piS 001.002.003.004 or 00010002000300040005000600070008
|

%pISpc 1.2.3.4:12345 or [1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8]:12345
|
|
%p[Ii]S[pfschnbl]
|
|
|
|
For printing an IP address without the need to distinguish whether it's of
|
|
type AF_INET or AF_INET6. A pointer to a valid struct sockaddr,
|
|
specified through ``IS`` or ``iS``, can be passed to this format specifier.
|
|
|
|
The additional ``p``, ``f``, and ``s`` specifiers are used to specify port
|
|
(IPv4, IPv6), flowinfo (IPv6) and scope (IPv6). Ports have a ``:`` prefix,
|
|
flowinfo a ``/`` and scope a ``%``, each followed by the actual value.
|
|
|
|
In case of an IPv6 address the compressed IPv6 address as described by
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952 is being used if the additional
|
|
specifier ``c`` is given. The IPv6 address is surrounded by ``[``, ``]`` in
|
|
case of additional specifiers ``p``, ``f`` or ``s`` as suggested by
|
|
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6man-text-addr-representation-07
|
|
|
|
In case of IPv4 addresses, the additional ``h``, ``n``, ``b``, and ``l``
|
|
specifiers can be used as well and are ignored in case of an IPv6
|
|
address.

|
|
%pUL 03020100-0504-0706-0809-0A0B0C0E0E0F
|
|
|
|
For printing 16-byte UUID/GUIDs addresses. The additional ``l``, ``L``,
|
|
``b`` and ``B`` specifiers are used to specify a little endian order in
|
|
lower (l) or upper case (L) hex notation - and big endian order in lower (b)
|
|
or upper case (B) hex notation.
|
|
|
|
Where no additional specifiers are used the default big endian
|
|
order with lower case hex notation will be printed.

%pD{,2,3,4}
|
|
|
|
For printing dentry name; if we race with :c:func:`d_move`, the name might
|
|
be a mix of old and new ones, but it won't oops. %pd dentry is a safer
|
|
equivalent of %s dentry->d_name.name we used to use, %pd<n> prints ``n``
|

|
|
----------------
|
|

|
|
|
|
For printing flags bitfields as a collection of symbolic constants that

would construct the value. The type of flags is given by the third
|
|
character. Currently supported are [p]age flags, [v]ma_flags (both

expect ``unsigned long *``) and [g]fp_flags (expects ``gfp_t *``). The flag
|
|
names and print order depends on the particular type.

:c:func:`TP_printk()` part of a tracepoint. Instead, use the show_*_flags()
|
|
functions from <trace/events/mmflags.h>.
