[PATCH v2 0/2] staging: vc04_services: Use %p to log pointer

[PATCH v2 0/2] staging: vc04_services: Use %p to log pointer

[Umang Jain]

%lx is used to print the unmodified pointer address for debugging.
%p will print the hashed pointer address to avoid leaking information
about kernel memory layout to userspace. But when `no_hash_pointers`
is passed as kernel parameter, unmodified pointer address will be
printed.

Hence, drop %lx in favour of %p. For debugging purposes, one can
easily depend on `no_hash_pointers`.

This also solves the following smatch warnings:
service_callback() warn: argument 7 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 11 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 12 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 13 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
vchiq_release() warn: argument 7 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer

[PATCH v2 1/2] staging: vc04_services: Use %p to log pointer address

[Umang Jain]

Solves the following Smatch warnings:
service_callback() warn: argument 7 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 11 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 12 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer
service_callback() warn: argument 13 to %lx specifier is cast from pointer

%p will print the hashed pointer to dynamic debug.
In order to print the unmodified pointer address, one can use the
`no_hash_pointers` via kernel parameters.

Does not apply to my tree, is it because I just took your other patch?

You have 2 different patches that do different things, yet have the
identical subject lines.  That needs to be fixed up before I can take
them.
