Subject: [PATCH v1 01/12] tools/x86/kcpuid: Fix error handling
Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2025 21:49:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250306205000.227399-2-darwi@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250306205000.227399-1-darwi@linutronix.de>
Error handling in kcpuid is unreliable. On malloc() failures, the code
prints an error then just goes on. The error messages are also printed
to standard output instead of standard error.
Use err() and errx() from <err.h> to direct all error messages to
standard error and automatically exit the program. Use err() to include
the errno information, and errx() otherwise. Use warnx() for warnings.
While at it, alphabetically reorder the header includes.
Fixes: c6b2f240bf8d ("tools/x86: Add a kcpuid tool to show raw CPU features")
Closes: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240926223557.2048-1-rbrasga@uci.edu
