Hi,

Here is the 3rd version of patches to fix vsnprintf().

 - Fix to limit the size of width and precision.
 - Warn if the return size is over INT_MAX.

Previous version is here;

https://lore.kernel.org/all/177397887883.33018.9867883986177366222.stgit@devnote2/

In this version, check and update witdth and precision before assigning to spec
data structure [1/2] and use a local variable to be better readability [2/2].

Recently we discussed snprintf() usage in bootconfig and found snprintf()
design has a problem[1]. It returns the required or printed size in 'int'
but the maxlen is passed by 'size_t'. The maxlen is already limited by
INT_MAX, but if the expected print size becomes bigger than INT_MAX,
it can return negative value. We also found width and precision size check
does not work.

Thank you,
