Josephine Pfeiffer 59b9ed956c riscv: ptdump: use seq_puts() in pt_dump_seq_puts() macro
[ Upstream commit a74f038fa50e0d33b740f44f862fe856f16de6a8 ]

The pt_dump_seq_puts() macro incorrectly uses seq_printf() instead of
seq_puts(). This is both a performance issue and conceptually wrong,
as the macro name suggests plain string output (puts) but the
implementation uses formatted output (printf).

The macro is used in ptdump.c:301 to output a newline character. Using
seq_printf() adds unnecessary overhead for format string parsing when
outputting this constant string.

This bug was introduced in commit 59c4da8640 ("riscv: Add support to
dump the kernel page tables") in 2020, which copied the implementation
pattern from other architectures that had the same bug.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
