Subject: [PATCH 1/4] lib/printbuf: New data structure for heap-allocated strings

This adds printbufs: simple heap-allocated strings meant for building up
structured messages, for logging/procfs/sysfs and elsewhere. They've
been heavily used in bcachefs for writing .to_text() functions/methods -
pretty printers, which has in turn greatly improved the overall quality
of error messages.

Basic usage is documented in include/linux/printbuf.h.

The next patches in the series are going to be using printbufs to
implement a .to_text() method for shrinkers, and improving OOM
reporting.

+/*
+ * Printbufs: Simple heap allocated strings, with some features for structered
+ * formatting.
+ *
+ * This code has provisions for use in userspace, to aid in making other code
+ * portable between kernelspace and userspace.
+ *
+ * Basic example:
+ *
+ *   struct printbuf buf = PRINTBUF;
+ *
+ *   pr_buf(&buf, "foo=");
+ *   foo_to_text(&buf, foo);
+ *   printk("%s", buf.buf);
+ *   printbuf_exit(&buf);
+ *
+ * We can now write pretty printers instead of writing code that dumps
+ * everything to the kernel log buffer, and then those pretty-printers can be
+ * used by other code that outputs to kernel log, sysfs, debugfs, etc.
+ *
+ * Memory allocation: Outputing to a printbuf may allocate memory. This
+ * allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL, by default: use the newer
+ * memalloc_*_(save|restore) functions as needed.
+ *
+ * Since no equivalent yet exists for GFP_ATOMIC/GFP_NOWAIT, memory allocations
+ * will be done with GFP_ATOMIC if printbuf->atomic is nonzero.
+ *
+ * Memory allocation failures: We don't return errors directly, because on
+ * memory allocation failure we usually don't want to bail out and unwind - we
+ * want to print what we've got, on a best-effort basis. But code that does want
+ * to return -ENOMEM may check printbuf.allocation_failure.
+ *
+ * Indenting, tabstops:
+ *
+ * To aid is writing multi-line pretty printers spread across multiple
+ * functions, printbufs track the current indent level.
+ *
+ * pr_indent_push() and pr_indent_pop() increase and decrease the current indent
+ * level, respectively.
+ *
+ * To use tabstops, set printbuf->tabstops[]; they are in units of spaces, from
+ * start of line. Once set, pr_tab() will output spaces up to the next tabstop.
+ * pr_tab_rjust() will also advance the current line of text up to the next
+ * tabstop, but it does so by shifting text since the previous tabstop up to the
+ * next tabstop - right justifying it.
+ *
+ * Make sure you use pr_newline() instead of \n in the format string for indent
+ * level and tabstops to work corretly.
+ *
+ * Output units: printbuf->units exists to tell pretty-printers how to output
+ * numbers: a raw value (e.g. directly from a superblock field), as bytes, or as
+ * human readable bytes. pr_units() and pr_sectors() obey it.
+ *
+ * Other helpful functions:
+ *
+ * pr_human_readable_u64, pr_human_readable_s64: Print an integer with human
+ * readable units.
+ *
+ * pr_time(): for printing a time_t with strftime in userspace, prints as an
+ * integer number of seconds in the kernel.
+ *
+ * pr_string_option: Given an enumerated value and a string array with names for
+ * each option, prints out the enum names with the selected one indicated with
+ * square brackets.
+ *
+ * pr_bitflags: Given a bitflag and a string array with names for each bit,
+ * prints out the names of the selected bits.
