Reading file /proc/modules shows the correct address: [root@s35lp76 ~]# cat /proc/modules | egrep '^qeth_l2' qeth_l2 94208 1 - Live 0x000003ff80401000
and reading file /sys/module/qeth_l2/sections/.text [root@s35lp76 ~]# cat /sys/module/qeth_l2/sections/.text 0x0000000018ea8363 displays a random address.
This breaks the perf tool which uses this address on s390 to calculate start of .text section in memory.
Fix this by printing the correct (unhashed) address.
Thanks to Jessica Yu for helping on this.

Thanks for turning this into a real patch. Looks good to me, if Linus wants to take it directly:
Acked-by: Jessica Yu jeyu@kernel.org
Otherwise I can take this up my tree.
As Linus mentioned, we should technically be checking the opening task's credentials/capabilities, but converting everything to pass the actual struct seq_file/file to the sysfs show handlers would be fairly painful :/ At least those /sys/module/*/sections/ files are all set to 0400. I think this fix is sufficient for now.
