[PATCH v2 07/10] powerpc: Do not call __kernel_text_address() in show_instructions()

From: Murilo Opsfelder Araujo <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-27 14:59:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

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.
