From ef12496022d5917cfe0b04cf8fd685fc6bc08400 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Gunthorpe Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 15:59:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] lib/vsprintf.c: fix handling of %zd when using ssize_t Documentation/printk-formats.txt says to use %zd for a ssize_t argument and some drivers do. Unfortunately this prints a positive number for negative values eg: tpm_tis 70030000.tpm_tis: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error 4294967234 Add a case to va_args a ssize_t type if the interpretation should be signed. Tested on PPC32.
