Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/xmon: avoid format string leaking to printk
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:54:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140610175406.GA30672@www.outflux.net> (raw)

This makes sure format strings cannot leak into printk (the string has
already been correctly processed for format arguments).
