[RFC PATCH v2] mm: slub: print kernel addresses in slub debug messages

From: miles.chen
Date: Thu Aug 08 2019 - 21:08:47 EST


From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This RFC patch is sent to discuss the printing address with %p issue.

Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
%p gives obfuscated addresses now. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y, it is still
useful to get real virtual addresses.

Possible approaches are:
1. stop printing kernel addresses
2. print with %pK,
3. print with %px.
4. do nothing

This patch takes %px approach and shows the output here.
(%px will causes checkpatch warnings, let us ignore the warning here to
have the discussion). Also, use DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET instead of
DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS.
