Subject: [PATCH] trace_printk: replace _______STR with __UNIQUE_ID(STR)
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:57:07 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429165707.7020-1-tiffany019230@gmail.com> (raw)
The macro trace_printk() uses a hardcoded identifier _______STR
within a statement expression, which can lead to variable name
shadowing if a caller happens to use the same name in its scope.
Following the pattern in commit 24ba53017e18 ("rcu: Replace ________p1
and _________p1 with __UNIQUE_ID(rcu)") and commit 589a9785ee3a
("min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested"), replace the
hardcoded identifier with __UNIQUE_ID(STR).
Since __UNIQUE_ID() must be expanded once to remain consistent across
declaration and sizeof() within the statement expression, introduce a
nested helper macro ___trace_printk.
