Since commit ad67b74d24 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p")
pointers printed with %p are hashed, ie. you don't see the actual
pointer value but rather a cryptographic hash of its value.
In xmon we want to see the actual pointer values, because xmon is a
debugger, so replace %p with %px which prints the actual pointer
value.
We justify doing this in xmon because 1) xmon is a kernel crash
debugger, it's only accessible via the console 2) xmon doesn't print
to dmesg, so the pointers it prints are not able to be leaked that
way.

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.
