checkpatch: warn when formats use %Z and suggest %z
vsnprintf extension %Z<foo> is non-standard C. Suggest the use of %z instead. Miscellanea: - Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL type strings are supposed to be uppercase only. Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the type check in case I forget this again sometime in the future. - Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all 3 current checks are done on the format string [joe@perches.com: correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL, improve the mechanism to find these defects] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4e3ad74b0c9dc229b06018a2d79655308ddbbebd.1484014173.git.joe@perches.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170109235955.GA6787@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
