[RFC PATCH 07/16] debugfs: Add signed versions of debugfs_create_u32/64 helpers

Sun Feb 27 12:55:59 PST 2022


Add a few helpers to deal with signed values integers; built on existing
debugfs internal helpers as the existing unsigned functions already do.

Make the simple_attr_write() internal helper detect the sign of the
requested set operation from the related format string: this is needed
to be able to properly parse negatively signed input strings.

Note that in the rest of the series I do NOT need the s64 WRITE/SET
operations, that required the more invasive simple_attr_write() change,
but it seemed odd to implement a get only debug_create_s32/64 API.
