The printk format specifiers used in event's print format files extend the standard printf formats. There are a lot of new options related to printing pointers and kernel specific structures. Currently trace-cmd does not support many of them. Support for these new printk specifiers is added to the pretty_print() function: - UUID/GUID address: %pU[bBlL] - Raw buffer as a hex string: %*ph[CDN] These are improved: - MAC address: %pMF, %pM and %pmR - IPv4 adderss: %p[Ii]4[hnbl] Function pretty_print() is refactored. The logic for printing pointers %p[...] is moved to its own function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
