Subject: [PATCH 5/5] lib: Add error string support to printks
This adds an extension for the integral format specifier suffix of 'e',
so that the format %[duxXo]e will result in printing an number (as
before) in addition to a name and descrption for an error code, if such
support is enabled and a name and descrption is found.
My initial thought was to use the glibc extension of '%m', but this
format specifier uses the value of libc's errno and adding a value
breaks gcc's printf parsing. I'm not convinced that the 'e' extension
is optimal, although there are only four instances of this pattern in
the kernel that would need to be changed.
git grep -E '".*%[#0\ +\-]*[0-9]*[hljzt]*[idoxXu]e'
Alternatively, 'E' was another thought for a suffix as well.
