[PATCH v3 6/9] powerpc: Do not call __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions()
From: Murilo Opsfelder Araujo
Date: Tue Jul 31 2018 - 10:51:09 EST
Modify show_instructions() not to call __kernel_text_address(), allowing
userspace instruction dump. probe_kernel_address(), which returns -EFAULT
if something goes wrong, is still being called.
