3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 5f01c98859073cb512b01d4fad74b5f4e047be0b upstream.
Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:
static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);
When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.
This was added in commit 71f9e59800e5ad4 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.
So instead of correct output:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]
We get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff
To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.
