Why not "text:%#lx" as already used in this string? It's

Well, I don't know the reasoning in this case, but I'd like to note that
those are not strictly equivalent. Personally I find the formatting of 0
annoying enough to avoid %#x for any value which may be 0. It's
especially bad if you try to line up things by adding leading zeros.

Yep, I found that 0x%lx produced the same output as %p.

Don't use a standalone gcc compiled program to
determine what the kernel outputs.

lib/vsprintf.c does not output the same. (32 bit)

The kernel output is;

printk("0x%lx\n", 0x100ul) 0x100
printk("%p\n", (void *)0x100ul) 00000100
printk("%#p\n", (void *)0x100ul) 0x00000100

The last one isn't used at all in kernel source. (gcc complains)
It's always "0x%p"

I was talking about using "%#lx", not "%#p". I don't see it in your example.

WBR, Sergei
