What about using bytes from \x7F to \xFF ?
We are not passing multibyte characters like UTF-8 in the format string (are
we?) because the non-first byte of multibyte characters by error matching %
will cause security problem (format string bug) because the format string is
parsed as char array.
Then, we could do something like below.
pr_info("%s", current->comm); => pr_info("\x7F\x80");
pr_info("%d", current->pid); => pr_info("\x7F\x81");
pr_info("%10d", current->pid); => pr_info("\x7F10\x81");
If precision field support is unnecessary, we could use only \x80 to \xFF .
pr_info("%s", current->comm); => pr_info("\x80");
pr_info("%d", current->pid); => pr_info("\x81");
