Starting with commit 57e734423a ("vsprintf: refactor %pK code out of
pointer"), the behavior of the raw '%p' printk format specifier was
changed to print a 32-bit hash of the pointer value to avoid leaking
kernel pointers into dmesg. For most situations that's good.
This is /undesirable/ behavior when we're trying to debug XFS, however,
so define a PTR_FMT that prints the actual pointer when we're in debug
mode.
Note that %p for tracepoints still prints the raw pointer, so in the
long run we could consider rewriting some of these messages as
tracepoints.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
