Alan Stern e1a2a3043c USB: core: Change %pK for __user pointers to %px
commit f3bc432aa8a7a2bfe9ebb432502be5c5d979d7fe upstream.

Commit 2f964780c0 ("USB: core: replace %p with %pK") used the %pK
format specifier for a bunch of __user pointers.  But as the 'K' in
the specifier indicates, it is meant for kernel pointers.  The reason
for the %pK specifier is to avoid leaks of kernel addresses, but when
the pointer is to an address in userspace the security implications
are minimal.  In particular, no kernel information is leaked.

This patch changes the __user %pK specifiers (used in a bunch of
debugging output lines) to %px, which will always print the actual
address with no mangling.  (Notably, there is no printk format
specifier particularly intended for __user pointers.)

README

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.

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.
