Remove the duplicate comment of bstr_printf that is the same as the
vsnprintf.
Add the 's' option to the comment for the pointer function. This is
more of an internal function so the little duplication of the comment
here is OK.

On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
itself.
mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
instead.
%pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
%pf produces just run_local_timers
For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
%pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure
function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of
months ago.
The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol,
but often we only want to print the name of the function, without
its asm offset.
That's what %pf does in this patch. The lowecase f has been chosen
for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'.
The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code
where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is
also true for other parts of the kernel:
$ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)"
arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c: symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf);
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c: name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr);
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf);
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/kprobes.c: sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL,
kernel/lockdep.c: return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c: kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_output.c: kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
Changes in v2:
- Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf()
- Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only
define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

Sitsofe Wheeler found and bisected that while unifying the
vsprintf format decoding in:
fef20d9: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users
The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).
But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.
Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
hosts the value in case of negative values.

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.
Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.
Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.
The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.
The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.
Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.
Changes in V2:
- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
a structure.
Changes in v3:
- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
It would be too risky.
- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).
- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p
Changes in v4:
- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
(thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.
However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging. And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL. Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.
This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).
