commit a48849e2
category: feature
bugzilla: 181005 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4EUY7

Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=a48849e2358ecf1a347a03b33dc27b9b2f25f8fd

-----------------------------------------------

We have several modifiers for plain pointers (%p, %px and %pK) and now
also the no_hash_pointers boot parameter. The documentation should help
to choose which variant to use. Importantly, we should discourage %px
in favor of %p (with the new boot parameter when debugging), and stress
that %pK should be only used for procfs and similar files, not dmesg
buffer. This patch clarifies the documentation in that regard.
