Subject[PATCH bpf-next v2 0/2] Implement formatted output helpers with bstr_printf
Date
BPF's formatted output helpers are currently implemented with
snprintf-like functions which use variadic arguments. The types of all
arguments need to be known at compilation time. BPF_CAST_FMT_ARG casts
all arguments to the size they should be (known at runtime), but the C
type promotion rules cast them back to u64s. On 32 bit architectures,
this can cause misaligned va_lists and generate mangled output.

This series refactors these helpers to avoid variadic arguments. It uses
a "binary printf" instead, where arguments are passed in a buffer
constructed at runtime.

---
Changes in v2:
- Reworded the second patch's description to better describe how
arguments get mangled on 32 bit architectures

Florent Revest (2):
seq_file: Add a seq_bprintf function
bpf: Implement formatted output helpers with bstr_printf
