Before:

0x00000e82 pointer [vsprintf.o]:                        344
0x0000198c pointer [vsprintf.o]:                        344

0x00002648 scnprintf [vsprintf.o]:                      216
0x00002565 snprintf [vsprintf.o]:                       208

0x00000937 number [vsprintf.o]:                         136

After:

akpm:/usr/src/25> objdump -d lib/vsprintf.o | perl scripts/checkstack.pl  
0x00000a7c symbol_string [vsprintf.o]:                  248
