Kselftest header defines multiple variadic functions that use printf along with other logic.
There is no format checking for the variadic functions that use printing inside kselftest.h. Because of this the compiler won't be able to catch instances of mismatched printf formats and debugging tests might be more difficult.
Add the common __printf attribute macro to kselftest.h.
Add __printf attribute to every function using formatted printing with variadic arguments.

I still need information on how you found these problems. Please add it to change log for each of these patches.
Sure, I'll add notes on methodology to patches 2-8. I understand that this patch (1/8) message doesn't need that addition since the problems it exposes are in separate patches.
Yes please. As mentioned a couple of times, I would like to see how the problem is found in each patch commit log.
Or would you like me to also note here more specifically what effect it has in the rest of the series?
Yes please.
Thanks for confirming. I went through all the patches, made corrections and sent v6 of the series.
