Hello.
This is actually draft. We'll discuss details during next merge window (or earlier).
Thanks.

hex dump prints not more than HEX_MAX_LINES lines by HEX_ROW_SIZE (16 or 32) bytes.
( min(object->size, HEX_MAX_LINES * HEX_ROW_SIZE) ).
Example (HEX_ROW_SIZE 16):
unreferenced object 0xf68b59b8 (size 32):
comm "swapper", pid 1, jiffies 4294877610
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

hexdump.c can print prefix:
case DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS:
f6998df0: 3c 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 78 69 00 00 .... <.......xi......................
case DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET:
00000000: 3c 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 78 69 00 00 .... <.......xi......................
default:
3c 06 00 00 00 00 00 00 78 69 00 00 00 00 00 .... <.......xi......................
hex_dump_object(struct seq_file *seq, struct kmemleak_object *object)
can be extended to accept prefix flag either. Though I don't think it's so important. So, it prints without any prefix.
