It's fine by me that the vsnprintf recursion and
(pr|dev|netdev)_<level> text reduction patches didn't make .34.

I'd like to know what you think necessary to get them into .35.

Perhaps it'd be useful if they could go into -next as-is for a
bit of wider testing.

Note that the fact that the numbers are smaller is to some degree less 
important than _where_ the numbers are.

In the "before" side, it's the "pointer()" function that has a big stack 
depth. And the recursion that is going to happen is very much about 
vsnprintf -> pointer -> vsnprintf, so that is bad.

Now it's the new non-inlined leaf functions that still have a big stack 
footprint, and that's much better, because they wouldn't be part of any 
recursive behavior.

Not that I think it's wonderful even now. Especially that whole 
'symbol_string()' thing is not only a big stack user, it ends up calling 
down a fair number of other functions. Non-recursively, but still.

That, in turn, is due to this:

 - include/linux/kallsyms.h:
	#define KSYM_NAME_LEN 128
	#define KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN (sizeof("%s+%#lx/%#lx [%s]") + (KSYM_NAME_LEN - 1) + \

 - symbol_string():
	char sym[KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN];

ie we "need" about 150 bytes for just that silly symbol expansion (rounded 
up etc). Which is ridiculous, since we could/should limit it to something 
sane. But the kallsyms_lookup()/sprint_symbol() functions don't take a 
length parameter, so we have to do the worst-case thing (which itself has 
tons of unnecessary padding).

Gaah. We do _not_ want a kmalloc() or something like that in this path, 
since its' very much used for oopses (which in turn may be due to various 
slab bugs etc).

I sent a patch once about that using a struct
because I didn't like the unbounded sprint

Perhaps a new snprint_symbol function with the
other kallsyms... functions changed as necessary.

thoughts?
