Merge branch 'kallsyms-restrictions'
Merge /proc/kallsyms pointer value restrictions. Instead of using %pK, and making it about root access (at the wrong time, no less), make the whole choice of whether to show the actual pointer value be very explicit to the kallsyms code. In particular, we can now default to not doing so, and yet avoid annoying kernel profiling by actually looking at whether kernel profiling is allowed or not (by default it is not). This is all mostly preparation for the real "let's stop leaking kernel addresses" work that Tobin Harding is working on. Small steps. * kallsyms-restrictions: stop using '%pK' for /proc/kallsyms pointer values
