Christian Borntraeger 860ec7c6e2 s390/debug: use pK for kernel pointers
the s390 debug feature (/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/) shows the kernel
pointer of the calling function even for kptr_restrict == 2. Let us
use pK instead of p.

This hides the kernel addresses for kptr_restrict == 2:

root@host $ echo 2 >  /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
root@host $ tail -n1  /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/cio_msg/sprintf
00 01511461280:386645 2 - 00 0000000000000000  snsid: device 0.0.3f68: rc=0 3990/e9 3390/0c

root@host $ echo 1 >  /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
root@host $ tail -n1  /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/cio_msg/sprintf
00 01511461280:386645 2 - 00 000000000071171c  snsid: device 0.0.3f68: rc=0 3990/e9 3390/0c

root@host $ echo 0 >  /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
root@host $ tail -n1  /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/cio_msg/sprintf
00 01511461280:386645 2 - 00 000000000071171c  snsid: device 0.0.3f68: rc=0 3990/e9 3390/0c

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.
