This patch set attempts to move ia64/ppc64/parisc64 C function
pointer ABI details out of printk() to arch code. Function dereference
code now checks if a pointer belongs to a .opd ELF section and dereferences
that pointer only if it does. The kernel and modules have their own .opd
sections that's why I use two different ARCH functions: for kernel and
for module pointer dereference.

I don't own ia64/ppc64/parisc64 hardware, so the patches are not

I just now tested your patch series successfully on parisc64.

You may add to the whole series:
Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> # parisc64

Another note:
I need to check what is BPF symbol lookup and do we need to
do any dereference there.

Not relevant for parisc, since we don't support it yet.
