If the no_hash_pointers command line parameter is set, then
printk("%p") will print pointers as unhashed, which is useful for
debugging purposes. This change applies to any function that uses
vsprintf, such as print_hex_dump() and seq_buf_printf().
A large warning message is displayed if this option is enabled.
Unhashed pointers expose kernel addresses, which can be a security
risk.
Also update test_printf to skip the hashed pointer tests if the
command-line option is set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
