There are few printk formats that make sense only with two or more specifiers. Also some specifiers make sense only when a kernel feature is enabled. The handling of unknown specifiers is inconsistent and not helpful. Using WARN() looks like an overkill for this type of error. pr_warn() is not good either. It would by handled via printk_safe buffer and it might be hard to match it with the problematic string. A reasonable compromise seems to be writing the unknown format specifier into the original string with a question mark, for example (%pC?). It should be self-explaining enough. Note that it is in brackets to follow the (null) style. Note that it introduces a warning about that test_hashed() function is unused. It is going to be used again by a later patch.

README
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.
