lib/vsprintf: Replace space with '_' before crng is ready
Before crng is ready, output of "%p" composes of "(ptrval)" and left padding spaces for alignment as no random address can be generated. This seems a little strange when default string width is larger than strlen("(ptrval)"). For example, when irq domain names are built with "%p", the nodes under /sys/kernel/debug/irq/domains like this on AArch64 system, [root@y irq]# ls domains/ default irqchip@ (ptrval)-2 irqchip@ (ptrval)-4 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC1 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC3 irqchip@ (ptrval) irqchip@ (ptrval)-3 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC0 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC2 The name "irqchip@ (ptrval)-2" is not so readable in console output. This patch replaces space with readable "_" when output needs padding. Following is the output after applying the patch, [root@y domains]# ls default irqchip@(____ptrval____)-2 irqchip@(____ptrval____)-4 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC1 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC3 irqchip@(____ptrval____) irqchip@(____ptrval____)-3 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC0 \_SB_.TCS0.QIC2 There is same problem in some subsystem's dmesg output. Moreover, someone may call "%p" in a similar case. In addition, the timing of crng initialization done may vary on different system. So, the change is made in vsprintf.c.
