/proc/PID/wchan is under #ifdef CONFIG_KALLSYMS.

Maybe we should respect 'kptr_restrict' sysctl when we use '%ps', '%pB' etc.
printk formats (AFAIK %ps just prints address if KALLSYMS=n, or lookup failed).
In that case you could just do 'seq_printf(m, "%ps", wchan)'.


OTOH, %ps, %pS are used mostly in debugging, so investigating some crash
in production kernel with no !KALLSYMS and with kptr_restrict != 0
will be a nightmare.
