Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] kernel: escape non-ASCII and control characters in
 printk()

Sigh...  After implementing controls filtering including \n inside of
%s, I got numerous false positives.  Most of them are startup messages
with driver/hardware name/version, in drivers/.

I'm attaching the patch with both vscnprintf() changes and drivers fixes
just to show the idea.  Before applying the vscnprintf patch all/most of
such drivers should be fixed.  If someone think it's better to apply the
patch to some tree to learn the list of such false positives - tell me,
I'll resend the vscnprintf part of the patch.


Also, the problem with CSI code is still here.  It cannot be filtered
because it is a valid byte inside of UTF-8 character.  For a console
with IUTF bit set all dangerous characters are filtered, but for the
rest they are not.  As at the stage of vscnprintf the presence of IUTF
bit is not clear, users of non-IUTF console should still use "| less" or
similar.  Obviously, \n is filtered for all consoles.

Thanks,
