Subject: kmsg: Fix parameter limitations
Patch-mainline: Whenever kmsg is upstream
The kmsg infrastructure, currently only employed on s/390, has limitations
with the parameters it can handle due to the way it assembles the
magic string for parsing with scripts/kmsg-doc.
cpp expects the result to be a valid expression and exits with an error
if it is not.
The netfilter ipvs code causes this error, though there are more examples:
error: pasting "_ARGS_" and "&" does not give a valid preprocessing token
This stems from an otherwise valid expression:
pr_info("Registered protocols (%s)\n", &protocols[2]);
It tries to concatenate _ARGS_ and &protocols[2] and fails.
This patch fixes the issue by stringifying the entire parameter list
and allowing kmsg-doc to unquote the resultant expression.
The dev_* expressions that evaluate to __KMSG_DEV are unaffected because
the insertion of the "dev, " between _ARGS_ and the parameter list ends
up creating a valid expression.
