When adding __printf attribute to cn_printf, gcc reports some issues: fs/coredump.c:213:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'kuid_t' [-Wformat=] err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->uid); ^ fs/coredump.c:217:5: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'kgid_t' [-Wformat=] err = cn_printf(cn, "%d", cred->gid); ^ These warnings come from the fact that the value of uid/gid needs to be extracted from the kuid_t/kgid_t structure before being used as an integer. More precisely, cred->uid and cred->gid need to be converted to either user-namespace uid/gid or to init_user_ns uid/gid. As Documentation/sysctl/kernel.txt does not specify which user namespace is used to translate %u and %g in core_pattern, but lowercase %p and %i are used to format pid/tid in the current process namespace, it seems intuitive that lowercase %u and %g use the current user namespace. While at it, format uid and gid values with %u instead of %d because uid_t/__kernel_uid32_t and gid_t/__kernel_gid32_t are unsigned int.
