Subject: [PATCH] riscv: use sysfs_emit in cpu_show_ghostwrite
Date: Sun, 10 May 2026 18:54:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260510165420.109453-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
Replace sprintf() with sysfs_emit() in cpu_show_ghostwrite(), which is
preferred for formatting sysfs output because it provides safer bounds
checking.
While the current code only emits fixed strings that fit easily within
PAGE_SIZE, use sysfs_emit() to follow secure coding best practices.
