With the change:
- kvm_err("sys_reg table %s out of order (%d)\n", table_name, i - 1);
+ kvm_err("sys_reg table %pS out of order (%d)\n", &table[i - 1], i - 1);
this is what KVM prints with %pS if the second entry is out-of-order:
[ 0.143698] kvm [1]: sys_reg table sys_reg_descs+0x50/0x7490 out of order (1)
There's redundant information now, the entry can be calculated from the
table offset, but printing the offset directly is certainly convenient.
I like it more than passing the table name, if you agree I'll send a v2
with this change.
Thanks,
Alex
