[ Upstream commit 4c411157a42f122051ae3469bee0b5cabe89e139 ] 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 ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
