[PATCH] trace/uprobes: fix output issue with address randomization

[Thomas Richter]

Commit ad67b74d2469 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
changed %p to hash pointers in order to avoid leaking
kernel addresses.

This breaks the tool perf probe.

To set a uprobe on a function named inet_pton in libc library,
obtain the address of the symbol inet_pton using command nm and
then use the following command to set the uprobe:

 # echo "p:probe_libc/inet_pton /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so:0x142060"
	> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

However the output shows a randomized address:
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
 p:probe_libc/inet_pton /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so:0x000000002d0f8952

The displayed address 0x000000002d0f8952 is incorrect and breaks
tools post processing it:

 # linux/tools/perf/perf probe -l
 Failed to find debug information for address 2d0f8952
   probe_libc:inet_pton (on 0x2d0f8952 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)

Using the %px printk format string fixes this issue for root
and shows the correct address allowing the perf probe tool
to resolve the address to the symbol:

 # echo "p:probe_libc/inet_pton /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so:0x142060"
	> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
 p:probe_libc/inet_pton /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so:0x0000000000142060
 # linux/tools/perf/perf probe -l
  probe_libc:inet_pton (on __inet_pton@resolv/inet_pton.c
					in /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
