If variable is of Type use printk format specifier.
---------------------------------------------------------
int %d or %x
unsigned int %u or %x
long %ld ot %lx
unsigned long %lu or %lx
long long %lld or %llx
unsigned long long %llu or %llx
size_t %zu or %zx
ssize_t %zd or %zx
Raw pointer value SHOULD be printed with %p.
u64 SHOULD be printed with %llu/%llx, (unsigned long long):
printk("%llu", (unsigned long long)u64_var);
s64 SHOULD be printed with %lld/%llx, (long long):
printk("%lld", (long long)s64_var);
If type is dependent on config option (sector_t), use format specifier
of biggest type and explicitly cast to it.
Reminder: sizeof() result is of type size_t.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Useful list, but I think there are more format specifiers available with
printk though.

This list for not generating compile-time warnings, nothing more.

out of curiosity, why are there platforms that use an "unsigned long"
for u64? An "unsigned long long" is 64-bits too even on 64-bit
platforms, so why the difference? Are there any differences like
alignment on some platforms?

Because that type is large enough.

I invite you to go make that change and then try to fixup all the
resulting build warnings. Some of us already made an attempt at
some point in the past. :-/
But it's just papering over the core problem, that we can't extend
gcc's automatic printf format type checking easily.
Even if we make u64 the same type everywhere, things like sector_t
and other types which do have to vary by architecture will need
to be casted.

Heh, ok. I was just curious really. I think that answers it well
enough :)

Indeed, it doesn't really help that much.

and attention.

Do we have this somewhere in Documentation? Would be nice to have it.

It's in the C standard, which we don't try to put into Documentation/ AFAIK.
section 6.5.3.4, The sizeof operator:
4 The value of the result is implementation-defined, and its type (an unsigned integer type)
is size_t, defined in <stddef.h> (and other headers).

Well, OK. I was more thinking about printing stuff like ino_t.
UBIFS used %lu for this which was the source of warnings.

I've been thinking of adding (trying to add) Alexey's hints in the
Doc/ tree in some new file.

Add, or is this one too infrequent to be listed here?
tcflag_t %lu or %lx or %lo
Since tcflag_t is unsigned int (on most $ARCH-es) or unsigned long (on sparc32),
use a cast to (unsigned long)flag when printing it.
[Yes, a sparc32 build gets lots of printk format warnings when printing tcflag_t
values.]
