[PATCH 2/3] slub: Print raw pointer addresses when debugging

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Wed May 19 2021 - 21:36:03 EST


Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some
confusing slub debug messages:

Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17

Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons. If we're trying
to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big
problems given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel
logs. Let's use %px here and dump buffers with the actual address for
the buffer instead of the hashed version so that the logs are
meaningful. This also helps if a kernel address is in some slub debug
report so we can figure out that the object is referencing itself.
