[PATCH 4.16 124/196] vsprintf: Do not preprocess non-dereferenced pointers for bprintf (%px and %pK)

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun Apr 22 2018 - 11:49:11 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1e6338cfb50e244c445ad7d891b35385bd0ee757 upstream.

Commit 841a915d20c7b2 ("printf: Do not have bprintf dereference pointers")
would preprocess various pointers that are dereferenced in the bprintf()
because the recording and printing are done at two different times. Some
pointers stayed dereferenced in the ring buffer because user space could
handle them (namely "%pS" and friends). Pointers that are not dereferenced
should not be processed immediately but instead just saved directly.
