This is utterly silly. Why are you using memcpy() to access individual
bytes of a u8 pointer? What's wrong with:
sec = timestamp[0];
min = timestamp[1];
hour = timestamp[2];
day = timestamp[4];
mon = timestamp[5];
year = timestamp[6];
century = timestamp[7];
or even do the conversion here:
sec = bcd2bin(timestamp[0]);
... etc ...
Yes, that will be a lot cleaner especially with moving the conversion here.
+ printk("%stime: ", pfx);
+ printk("%7s", 0x01 & *(timestamp + 3) ? "precise" : "");
+ printk(" %02d:%02d:%02d %02d%02d-%02d-%02d\n",
+ bcd2bin(hour), bcd2bin(min), bcd2bin(sec),
+ bcd2bin(century), bcd2bin(year), bcd2bin(mon),
+ bcd2bin(day));
+ }
It's also a good idea to (as much as possible) keep to single printk()
statements - which makes the emission of the string more atomic wrt
other CPUs and contexts. So, this should probably become (with the
conversion being done at the assignment of sec etc):
printk("%stime: %7s %02d:%02d:%02d %02d%02d-%02d-%02d\n",
pfx, 0x01 & timestamp[3] ? "precise" : "",
hour, min, sec, century, year, mon, day);
which, IMHO, looks a lot nicer and doesn't risk some other printk()
getting between each individual part of the line.
I will make this change in the next version. This printk does look a lot
nicer and avoids other prints from getting in the middle (I actually
just saw that happen in testing a couple days ago)

printk("%s""Error %d, type: %s\n", pfx, sec_no,
cper_severity_str(severity));
Not sure why you have the "" here - %sError works just as well and the
"" is just obfuscation - the compiler will eliminate the double-double
quote and merge the strings anyway.
I will remove the "" in the next version.
Thanks,
Tyler
