x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump

Browse Source 
Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value,
especially now that address randomization is becoming common.

It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses.  It also
affects the usefulness of the stack dump.  Linus says:

  "I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because
  useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is
  actively detrimental.

  It makes commit logs less legible.

  It also makes it harder to parse dumps.

  It's not useful. That makes it actively bad.

  I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not
  found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are
  just randomized crap.

  The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for
  example."

The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be
used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names.  However such cases are
rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to
figure it out.

There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a
function address to a file name and line:

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
  write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60:
  write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098

Or gdb can be used:

  $ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in"
  (gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378).

(But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show
the first symbol it finds.  faddr2line is recommended over gdb because
it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.)

Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change:
