If we care about the offset specifically, this would be simpler as:
printk("cpu offset : 0x%016lx\n", __my_cpu_offset());
... which should do the right thing even if we repurpose the TPIDRs and move the offset elsewhere.
As Will says, we should only log this for !user_mode(regs), so it could
be placed in the block below, immediately before we print the kernel PC, i.e.
if (!user_mode_regs) {
printk("cpu offset : %016lx\n", __my_cpu_offset());
printk("pc : %pS\n", (void *)regs->pc);
printk("lr : %pS\n", (void *)ptrauth_strip_insn_pac(lr));
...
}
... or in a separate block which checks the same condition.
Thanks,
Mark.
