Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

The difference between simple_strtoul() and simple_strtoull() is just
the size of the variable used to keep track of the sum of characters
converted to numbers:

unsigned long simple_strtoul() {...}
unsigned long long simple_strtoull(){...}

Both are same size on my Core 2/gcc 4.4.1.
Overflow condition is not checked on both functions, so an extremely large
string can break these functions so that they don't even notice it.

As we do not care for overflowing on these functions, always keep the sum
using the larger variable around (unsigned long long) on simple_strtoull()
and cast it to (unsigned long) on simple_strtoul(), which then becomes
just a wrapper around simple_strtoull().

This patchset reduces lib/lib.a code size by 482 bytes on my Core 2 with
gcc 4.4.1 even considering that it exports a newly defined function
skip_spaces() to drivers:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64867     840     592   66299   102fb (TOTALS-lib.a-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-lib.a-AFTER)
and implements some code tidy up.

Besides reducing lib.a size, it converts many in-tree drivers to use the
newly defined function, which makes another small reduction on kernel size
overall when those drivers are used.

This patch:

Change "<NULL>" to "(null)", unifying 3 equal strings.
glibc also uses "(null)" for the same purpose.

When using %*s, sscanf should honor conversion specifiers immediately
following the %*s.  For example, the following code should find the
position of the end of the string "hello".

  int end;
  char buf[] = "hello    world";
  sscanf(buf, "%*s%n", &end);
  printf("%d\n", end);

Ideally, sscanf would advance the fmt and str pointers the same as it
would without the *, but the code for that is rather complicated and is
not included in the patch.

On PowerPC64 function pointers do not point directly at the functions,
but instead point to pointers to the functions. The output of %pF expects
to point to a pointer to the function, whereas %pS will show the function
itself.

mcount returns the direct pointer to the function and not the pointer to
the pointer. Thus %pS must be used to show this. The function tracer
requires printing of the functions without offsets and uses the %pf
instead.

 %pF produces run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f
 %pf produces just run_local_timers

For PowerPC64, we need to use the direct pointer, and we only have
%pS which will produce .run_local_timers+0x4/0x1f

This patch creates a %ps that matches the %pf as %pS matches %pF.

A printf format specifier which would allow us to print a pure
function name has been suggested by Andrew Morton a couple of
months ago.

The current %pF is very convenient to print a function symbol,
but often we only want to print the name of the function, without
its asm offset.

That's what  %pf does in this patch.  The lowecase f has been chosen
for its intuitive meaning of a 'weak kind of %pF'.

The support for this new format would be welcome by the tracing code
where the need to print pure function names is often needed. This is
also true for other parts of the kernel:

$ git-grep -E "kallsyms_lookup\(.+?\)"
arch/blackfin/kernel/traps.c:   symname = kallsyms_lookup(address, &symsize, &offset, &modname, namebuf);
arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:               name = kallsyms_lookup(pc, &size, &offset, NULL, tmpstr);
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/sh5/unwind.c:        sym = kallsyms_lookup(pc, NULL, &offset, NULL, namebuf);
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:       kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long) syscall, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/kprobes.c:               sym = kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)p->addr, NULL,
kernel/lockdep.c:       return kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)key, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup((unsigned long)rec->ops->func, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(rec->ip, NULL, NULL, &modname, str);
kernel/trace/ftrace.c:  kallsyms_lookup(*ptr, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c: kallsyms_lookup(ip, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);
kernel/trace/trace_output.c:    kallsyms_lookup(address, NULL, NULL, NULL, str);

Changes in v2:

- Add the explanation of the %pf role for vsnprintf() and bstr_printf()

- Change the comments by dropping the "asm offset" notion and only
  define the %pf against the actual function offset notion.

vsprintf format decoding in:

  fef20d9c: vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users

The sign flag has been dropped out in favour of
precise types (ie: LONG/ULONG).

But the format helper number() still needs this flag to keep track of
the signedness unless it will consider all numbers as unsigned.

Also add an explicit cast to int (for %d) while parsing with va_arg()
to ensure the highest bit is well extended on the 64 bits number that
hosts the value in case of negative values.

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.

Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.

Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.

The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.

The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.

Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.

Changes in V2:

- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
  a structure.

Changes in v3:

- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
  printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
  Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
  avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
  changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
  It would be too risky.

- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).

- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p

Changes in v4:

- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
  (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

It decodes "\n" as 0, which is bad, because stray echo into backlight
will turn your backlight off, etc...

Before, when we only ever printed out the pointer value itself, a NULL
pointer would never cause issues and might as well be printed out as
just its numeric value.

However, with the extended %p formats, especially %pR, we might validly
want to print out resources for debugging.  And sometimes they don't
even exist, and the resource pointer is just NULL.  Print it out as
such, rather than oopsing.

This is a more generic version of a patch done by Trent Piepho (catching
all %p cases rather than just %pR, and using "(null)" instead of
"[NULL]" to match glibc).

put_dec_trunc prints the digits in reverse order and is reversed
inside number(). Continue using put_dec_trunc, but reverse each quad
in ip4_addr_string.

For use in printing IPv4, or IPv6 addresses in the usual way:

%i4 and %I4 are currently equivalent and print the address in
dot-separated decimal x.x.x.x

%I6 prints 16-bit network order hex with colon separators:
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

%i6 omits the colons.

Takes a pointer to a IPv6 address and formats it in the usual
colon-separated hex format:
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx

Each 16 bit word is printed in network-endian byteorder.

%#p6 is also supported and will omit the colons.

%p6 is a replacement for NIP6_FMT and NIP6()
%#p6 is a replacement for NIP6_SEQFMT and NIP6()

Note that NIP6() took a struct in6_addr whereas this takes a pointer
to a struct in6_addr.

Open-code them rather than using defining macros.  The function bodies are now
next to their kerneldoc comments as a bonus.

Add casts to the signed cases as they call into the unsigned versions.

Avoids the sparse warnings:
