3.2.76-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 272fa59ccb4fc802af28b1d699c2463db6a71bf7 upstream. The print_insn() function returns strings like "lghi %r1,0". To escape the '%' character in sprintf() a second '%' is used. For example "lghi %%r1,0" is converted into "lghi %r1,0". After print_insn() the output string is passed to printk(). Because format specifiers like "%r" or "%f" are ignored by printk() this works by chance most of the time. But for instructions with control registers like "lctl %c6,%c6,780" this fails because printk() interprets "%c" as character format specifier. Fix this problem and escape the '%' characters twice. For example "lctl %%%%c6,%%%%c6,780" is then converted by sprintf() into "lctl %%c6,%%c6,780" and by printk() into "lctl %c6,%c6,780".
