Second version of this, I think mostly sorting the issues
identified in review.

This series (which was initially sent back in 2020) adds the
ability to deal with __attribute__((format) and checking the
arguments to formatted variadic functions.

I have been considering adding a -Wformat-linux to this as
the kernel now has a number of extra formatting options and
checking the type of these would be useful. An even nicer
extension would be some way of informing the compiler/sparse
of these at compile time (but would need to get agreement on
how to do this with the compilers too)

Ben Dooks (4):
  parse: initial parsing of __attribute__((format))
  add -Wformat
  evaluate: check variadic argument types against formatting info
  tests: add varargs printf format tests
