I don't get your point. #define ACPI_MSG_ERROR KERN_ERR "ACPI Error: " #define ACPI_MSG_EXCEPTION KERN_ERR "ACPI Exception: " #define ACPI_MSG_WARNING KERN_WARNING "ACPI Warning: " #define ACPI_MSG_INFO KERN_INFO "ACPI: " so when we do acpi_os_printf(ACPI_MSG_WARNING "%s: ", pathname); we end up with printk("%s", KERN_WARNING "ACPI Warning: %%pathname%%"); note how acpi_os_vprintf() calls printk_get_level() _on_ the buffer is passes to printk("%s", buffer) because KERN_WARNING is part of the buffer, not the fmt. there are also other examples that do similar things. > Try git grep KERN_SOH. what for? -ss
