vsprintf: Fix %pK with kptr_restrict == 0
Although kptr_restrict is set to 0 and the kernel is booted with
no_hash_pointers parameter, the content of /proc/vmallocinfo is
lacking the real addresses.

According to the documentation for /proc/sys/kernel/, %pK is
equivalent to %p when kptr_restrict is set to 0.

However, if this command-line option is specified, then all normal pointers will have their true - value printed. Pointers printed via %pK may still be - hashed. This option should only be specified when + value printed. This option should only be specified when debugging the kernel. Please do not use on production kernels. |
