This reverts commit 152c432b128cb043fc107e8f211195fe94b2159c. When a kernel address couldn't be symbolized for /proc/$pid/wchan, it would leak the raw value, a potential information exposure. This is a regression compared to the safer pre-v5.12 behavior.
Instead of reverting, another possibility might be to depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS before using the %ps format specifier and print "0" otherwise. If it can't be symbolized it's most likely not a valid kernel address and as such wouldn't leak anything.... But well, Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Helge
