Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification.
Standardized the location of __printf too.

Done via script and a little typing.

$ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \
  grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \
  xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (&lt;&gt;) { s/\b__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }'

<id>a1706ac4c0201ea0143dc0db0659001b26ceeabb</id>
<content type='text'>
It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk-&gt;queue from
the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk-&gt;queue pointer values.

Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.

This reverts commit 23ceb5b7719e9276d4fa72a3ecf94dd396755276.

<title>fs/partitions/efi.c: corrupted GUID partition tables can cause kernel oops</title>

<id>3eb8e74ec72736b9b9d728bad30484ec89c91dde</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition
tables.

This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to
prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting
the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death").

	crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)-&gt;header_size));

computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)-&gt;header_size bytes.
There is no validation of (*gpt)-&gt;header_size before the efi_crc32 call.

A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)-&gt;header_size.
 In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory
allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow.

Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

Eric Dumazet reports:

----

At boot, I have a crash in part_discard_alignment_show+0x1b/0x50

CR2 : 000006ac

fault in : mov    0x2c(%rcx),%edx

I suspect commit 23ceb5b7719e9276d4 (block: Remove extra
discard_alignment from hd_struct) being in fault

----

Not quite known how -&gt;queue can be NULL while the sysfs entry
exists, but lets play it safe and check for a NULL queue.
The rest of the sysfs show strategies in check.c do not dereference
disk-&gt;queue.
