[PATCH] printk: Make %pS print offsets into modules

From: Kevin Cernekee
Date: Sun Oct 23 2016 - 17:22:27 EST


If kallsyms cannot find a symbol for an address, entries like this will
appear in backtraces:

Call trace:
[<ffffffbffc1ecd7c>] 0xffffffbffc1ecd7c
[<ffffffbffc1ef7f0>] 0xffffffbffc1ef7f0
[<ffffffbffc1f0094>] 0xffffffbffc1f0094

This isn't particularly useful for debugging because modules are not
loaded at fixed addresses. Instead, print the offset from the module's
base, so that the offending location can be easily located in a
disassembly of the .ko file:

Call trace:
[<ffffffbffc1d57f4>] [mwifiex_pcie+0x37f4/0x9000]
[<ffffffbffc1d60ac>] [mwifiex_pcie+0x40ac/0x9000]
[<ffffffbffc188fe0>] mwifiex_main_process+0xdc/0x6fc [mwifiex]

Tested on 4.4 only (so the core_layout / init_layout stuff is untested).
