Petch series "slub: Print non-hashed pointers in slub debugging", v3. I was doing some debugging recently and noticed that my pointers were being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline. Let's force on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel commandline so that the prints are more meaningful. The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the code. The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be busted. Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the one that force disables pointer hashing. This patch (of 4): Passing slub_debug=- on the kernel commandline is supposed to disable slub debugging. This is especially useful with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON where the default is to have slub debugging enabled in the build. Due to some code reorganization this behavior was dropped, but the code to make it work mostly stuck around. Restore the previous behavior by disabling the static key when we parse the commandline and see that we're trying to disable slub debugging.

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.
