vsprintf: factorize "(null)" string
This patchset reduces lib/lib.a code size by 482 bytes on my Core 2 with gcc 4.4.1 even considering that it exports a newly defined function skip_spaces() to drivers: text data bss dec hex filename 64867 840 592 66299 102fb (TOTALS-lib.a-BEFORE) 64641 584 592 65817 10119 (TOTALS-lib.a-AFTER) and implements some code tidy up. Besides reducing lib.a size, it converts many in-tree drivers to use the newly defined function, which makes another small reduction on kernel size overall when those drivers are used. This patch: Change "<NULL>" to "(null)", unifying 3 equal strings. glibc also uses "(null)" for the same purpose. It decreases code size by 7 bytes: text data bss dec hex filename 15765 0 8 15773 3d9d vsprintf.o (ex lib/lib.a-BEFORE) 15758 0 8 15766 3d96 vsprintf.o (ex lib/lib.a-AFTER) Signed-off-by: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@gmail.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
