Subject: [PATCH] init: Remove strlcat() and sprintf() from do_one_initcall()
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 12:05:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114110531.26138-2-blum@kernel.org> (raw)

In preparation for removing strlcat() from the kernel [1], format the
warning directly in WARN(). This also removes the temporary 64-byte
buffer and the sprintf() call while preserving the warning text.
