Subject[PATCH] init/initramfs: Fix argument forwarding to panic() in panic_show_mem()
Date
Forwarding variadic argument lists can't be done by passing a va_list
to a function with signature foo(...) (as panic() has). It ends up
interpreting the va_list itself as a single argument instead of
iterating it. printf() happily accepts it of course, leading to corrupt
output.

Convert panic_show_mem() to a macro to allow forwarding the arguments.
The function is trivial enough that it's easier than trying to introduce
a vpanic() variant.

After sending these patches [1] I wondered why the kernel accepted a
corrupt archive. The streaming parser makes it difficult to see
where to add a completeness check (possibly can assert the state is
Start or Reset at the end?), but adding an error() to cover my issue
revealed that the error message was never printed.
