From: Ravi Bangoria ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com
commit 0e4d819d0893dc043ea7b7cb6baf4be1e310bd96 upstream.
Recently, how the pointers being printed with %p has been changed by commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"). This is causing a regression while showing offset in the uprobe_events file. Instead of %p, use %px to display offset.
Before patch:
# perf probe -vv -x /tmp/a.out main Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//uprobe_events write=1 Writing event: p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x58c
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x0000000049a0f352
After patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_a/main /tmp/a.out:0x000000000000058c
