Today, when doing a lkdtm test before the readiness of the random generator, (ptrval) is printed instead of the address at which it perform the fault: [ 1597.337030] lkdtm: Performing direct entry EXEC_USERSPACE [ 1597.337142] lkdtm: attempting ok execution at (ptrval) [ 1597.337398] lkdtm: attempting bad execution at (ptrval) [ 1597.337460] kernel tried to execute user page (77858000) -exploit attempt? (uid: 0) [ 1597.344769] Unable to handle kernel paging request for instruction fetch [ 1597.351392] Faulting instruction address: 0x77858000 [ 1597.356312] Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] If the lkdtm test is done later on, it prints an hashed address. In both cases this is pointless. The purpose of the test is to ensure the kernel generates an Oops at the expected address, so real addresses needs to be printed. This patch fixes that.

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.
