Since commitad67b74d24("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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
