commit f3bc432aa8a7a2bfe9ebb432502be5c5d979d7fe upstream. Commit2f964780c0("USB: core: replace %p with %pK") used the %pK format specifier for a bunch of __user pointers. But as the 'K' in the specifier indicates, it is meant for kernel pointers. The reason for the %pK specifier is to avoid leaks of kernel addresses, but when the pointer is to an address in userspace the security implications are minimal. In particular, no kernel information is leaked. This patch changes the __user %pK specifiers (used in a bunch of debugging output lines) to %px, which will always print the actual address with no mangling. (Notably, there is no printk format specifier particularly intended for __user pointers.)

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.
