vsprintf: fix %ps on non symbols when using kallsyms
Using %ps in a printk format will sometimes fail silently and print the empty string if the address passed in does not match a symbol that kallsyms knows about. But using %pS will fall back to printing the full address if kallsyms can't find the symbol. Make %ps act the same as %pS by falling back to printing the address. While we're here also make %ps print the module that a symbol comes from so that it matches what %pS already does. Take this simple function for example (in a module): static void test_printk(void) { int test; pr_info("with pS: %pS\n", &test); pr_info("with ps: %ps\n", &test); } Before this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: After this patch: with pS: 0xdff7df44 with ps: 0xdff7df44 Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
