In the past %pK was preferable to %p as it would not leak raw pointer
values into the kernel log. Since commit ad67b74d24 ("printk: hash
addresses printed with %p") the regular %p has been improved to avoid
this issue. Furthermore, restricted pointers ("%pK") were never meant to
be used through printk(). They can still unintentionally leak raw
pointers or acquire sleeping locks in atomic contexts.
Switch to the regular pointer formatting which is safer and easier to
reason about.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
