They print out a pointer in symbolic format, if possible (ie using symbolic KALLSYMS information). The '%pS' format is for regular direct pointers (which can point to data or code and that you find on the stack during backtraces etc), while '%pF' is for C function pointer types. On most architectures, the two mean exactly the same thing, but some architectures use an indirect pointer for C function pointers, where the function pointer points to a function descriptor (which in turn contains the actual pointer to the code). The '%pF' code automatically does the appropriate function descriptor dereference on such architectures. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
