It was introduced by commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jul 6 16:43:12 2008 -0700 vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.
