Christophe Leroy dedde93bd6 kdb: print real address of pointers instead of hashed addresses
commit 568fb6f42ac6851320adaea25f8f1b94de14e40a upstream.

Since commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
all pointers printed with %p are printed with hashed addresses
instead of real addresses in order to avoid leaking addresses in
dmesg and syslog. But this applies to kdb too, with is unfortunate:

    Entering kdb (current=0x(ptrval), pid 329) due to Keyboard Entry
    kdb> ps
    15 sleeping system daemon (state M) processes suppressed,
    use 'ps A' to see all.
    Task Addr       Pid   Parent [*] cpu State Thread     Command
    0x(ptrval)      329      328  1    0   R  0x(ptrval) *sh

    0x(ptrval)        1        0  0    0   S  0x(ptrval)  init
    0x(ptrval)        3        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_gp
    0x(ptrval)        4        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_par_gp
    0x(ptrval)        5        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/0:0
    0x(ptrval)        6        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/0:0H
    0x(ptrval)        7        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  kworker/u2:0
    0x(ptrval)        8        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  mm_percpu_wq
    0x(ptrval)       10        2  0    0   D  0x(ptrval)  rcu_preempt

The whole purpose of kdb is to debug, and for debugging real addresses
need to be known. In addition, data displayed by kdb doesn't go into
dmesg.

This patch replaces all %p by %px in kdb in order to display real
addresses.

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.
