[PATCH 1/3] lib/test_printf: Clean up test of hashed pointers

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Thu Feb 27 2020 - 08:02:31 EST


The commit ad67b74d2469d9b82a ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
helps to prevent leaking kernel addresses.

The testing of this functionality is a bit problematic because the output
depends on a random key that is generated during boot. Though, it is
still possible to check some aspects:

+ output string length
+ hash differs from the original pointer value
+ top half bits are zeroed on 64-bit systems

This is currently done by a maze of functions:

+ It is hard to follow.
+ Some code is duplicated, e.g. the check for initialized crng.
+ The zeroed top half bits are tested only with one hardcoded PTR.
+ plain() increments "failed_tests" but not "total_tests".
+ The generic test_hashed() does not touch number of tests at all.

Move all the checks into test_hashed() so that they are done for
any given pointer that should get hashed. Also handle test counters
and internal errors the same way as the existing test() function.
