Jiri Slaby 5258b80e60 x86/dumpstack: Don't mention RIP in "Code: "
Commit

  238c91115c ("x86/dumpstack: Fix misleading instruction pointer error message")

changed the "Code:" line in bug reports when RIP is an invalid pointer.
In particular, the report currently says (for example):

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
  ...
  RIP: 0010:0x0
  Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.

That

  Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.

is quite confusing as RIP value is 0, not -42. That -42 comes from
"regs->ip - PROLOGUE_SIZE", because Code is dumped with some prologue
(and epilogue).

So do not mention "RIP" on this line in this context.

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.
