    [PATCH] uml: umid cleanup · 7eebe8a9
    Jeff Dike 提交于
    This patch cleans up the umid code:
    
    - The only_if_set argument to get_umid is gone.
    
    - get_umid returns an empty string rather than NULL if there is no umid.
    
    - umid_is_random is gone since its users went away.
    
    - Some printfs were turned into printks because the code runs late enough
      that printk is working.
    
    - Error paths were cleaned up.
    
    - Some functions now return an error and let the caller print the error
      message rather than printing it themselves.  This eliminates the practice of
      passing a pointer to printf or printk in, depending on where in the boot
      process we are.
    
    - Major tidying of not_dead_yet - mostly error path cleanup, plus a comment
      explaining why it doesn't react to errors the way you might expect.
    
    - Calls to os_* interfaces that were moved under os are changed back to
      their native libc forms.
    
    - snprintf, strlcpy, and their bounds-checking friends are used more often,
      replacing by-hand bounds checking in some places.
