show_user_instructions() is a slightly modified version of
show_instructions() that allows userspace instruction dump.

This will be useful within show_signal_msg() to dump userspace
instructions of the faulty location.

Here is a sample of what show_user_instructions() outputs:

    pandafault[10850]: code: 4bfffeec 4bfffee8 3c401002 38427f00 fbe1fff8 f821ffc1 7c3f0b78 3d22fffe
    pandafault[10850]: code: 392988d0 f93f0020 e93f0020 39400048 <99490000> 39200000 7d234b78 383f0040

The current->comm and current->pid printed can serve as a glue that
links the instructions dump to its originator, allowing messages to be
interleaved in the logs.

Why not use pr_info() and remove KERN_INFO from *prefix ?
Because it doesn't compile:

   arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1317:10: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘prefix’
     pr_info(prefix, current->comm, current->pid);
             ^
   ./include/linux/printk.h:288:21: note: in definition of macro ‘pr_fmt’
    #define pr_fmt(fmt) fmt
                      ^

`pr_info(prefix, ...)` expands to `printk("\001" "6" prefix, ...)`,
which is an invalid string concatenation.

`pr_info("%s", ...)` expands to `printk("\001" "6" "%s", ...)`, which is
valid.
Then what about using directly:

pr_info("%s[%d]: code: ", ...);

Shouldn't this be done outside of the loop, only once ?
I don't think so.

pc gets incremented at the bottom of the loop:

   pc += sizeof(int);

Adjusting pc is necessary at each iteration.  Leaving this block inside
the loop seems correct.
This looks pretty strange.
The first time, pc is a physical address, that you change to a virtual 
address. Then when you increment it it is still a virtual address.
So when you call phys_to_virt(pc) for the second time, pc is already a 
virt address, so what happens indeed ?
