That test was introducted in 2006 by commit00ae36de49("[POWERPC] Better check in show_instructions"). At that time, there was no BPF progs. As seen in message of commit89d21e259a("powerpc/bpf/32: Fix Oops on tail call tests"), when a page fault occurs in test_bpf.ko for instance, the code is dumped as XXXXXXXXs. Allthough __kernel_text_address() checks is_bpf_text_address(), it seems it is not enough. Today, show_instructions() uses get_kernel_nofault() to read the code, so there is no real need for additional verifications. ARM64 and x86 don't do any additional check before dumping instructions. Do the same and remove __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions().

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.
