kernel/kallsyms.c: fix %pB when there's no symbol at the address
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
__sprint_symbol() should restore original address when kallsyms_lookup()
failed to find a symbol.  It's reported when dumpstack shows an address in
a dynamically allocated trampoline for ftrace.

  [ 1314.612287]  [<ffffffff81700312>] dump_stack+0x45/0x56
  [ 1314.612290]  [<ffffffff8125f5b0>] ? meminfo_proc_open+0x30/0x30
  [ 1314.612293]  [<ffffffffa080a494>] kpatch_ftrace_handler+0x14/0xf0 [kpatch]
  [ 1314.612306]  [<ffffffffa00160c4>] 0xffffffffa00160c3

You can see a difference in the hex address - c4 and c3.  Fix it.
