why doing this_cpu_ptr() if below (if *tmp_buf case), you will not use
it. just a waste of CPU, no?

get bufs pointer here instead?

naming consistency: current_arg vs curr_specifier? maybe just cur_arg
and cur_spec?

nit: same check:

if (!!final_args != !!mod)

extra ()

hm... strnchr() will return NULL if the character is not found, so
fmt_size will be some non-zero value (due to - fmt), how is this
supposed to work?

some negative tests are clearly missing, it seems, if you didn't catch this

a bit outdated comment, last doesn't exist anymore. I think the
comment is trying to say that fmt[i + 1] can be read because in the
worst case it will be a final zero terminator (which we checked
above).

so you are putting tmp_buf unconditionally, even when there was no
error. That seems wrong? Should this be:

if (err)
    put_fmt_tmp_buf()

?
