Linus Torvalds 9d5604101e Merge branch 'kallsyms-restrictions'
Merge /proc/kallsyms pointer value restrictions.

Instead of using %pK, and making it about root access (at the wrong
time, no less), make the whole choice of whether to show the actual
pointer value be very explicit to the kallsyms code.

In particular, we can now default to not doing so, and yet avoid
annoying kernel profiling by actually looking at whether kernel
profiling is allowed or not (by default it is not).

This is all mostly preparation for the real "let's stop leaking kernel
addresses" work that Tobin Harding is working on.

Small steps.

* kallsyms-restrictions:
  stop using '%pK' for /proc/kallsyms pointer values

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
