[PATCH 4.16 094/113] module: Fix display of wrong module .text address

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Apr 30 2018 - 15:33:27 EST


4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Richter <tmricht@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit be71eda5383faa663efdba9ef54a6b8255e3c7f0 upstream.

Reading file /proc/modules shows the correct address:
[root@s35lp76 ~]# cat /proc/modules | egrep '^qeth_l2'
qeth_l2 94208 1 - Live 0x000003ff80401000

and reading file /sys/module/qeth_l2/sections/.text
[root@s35lp76 ~]# cat /sys/module/qeth_l2/sections/.text
0x0000000018ea8363
displays a random address.

This breaks the perf tool which uses this address on s390
to calculate start of .text section in memory.

Fix this by printing the correct (unhashed) address.

Thanks to Jessica Yu for helping on this.
