Your version: /* Board Name is optional */ board = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_NAME); if (!board) board = ""; printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); printk(KERN_DEFAULT "Pid: %d, comm: %.20s %s %s %.*s %s %s%s%s\n", current->pid, current->comm, print_tainted(), init_utsname()->release, (int)strcspn(init_utsname()->version, " "), init_utsname()->version, vendor, product, strlen(board) ? "/" : "", board); The 'board' fiddling and the strlen(board) check complicates things unnecessarily and makes the code hard to read. Jan's version was at least simple. Something like this: /* Board Name is optional */ board = dmi_get_system_info(DMI_BOARD_NAME); printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); printk(KERN_DEFAULT "Pid: %d, comm: %.20s %s %s %.*s %s %s %s %s\n", current->pid, current->comm, print_tainted(), init_utsname()->release, (int)strcspn(init_utsname()->version, " "), init_utsname()->version, vendor, product, board ? : ""); Would be easier to read and gives similarly useful output.
