Please don't use BUG()[1]. Add a default case with a warn and return
"unknown":

	switch (v) {
	case HIDEPID_OFF: return "off";
	case HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS: return "noaccess";
	case HIDEPID_INVISIBLE: return "invisible";
	case HIDEPID_NOT_PTRACEABLE: return "ptraceable";
	default:
		WARN_ON_ONCE("bad hide_pid value: %d\n", v);
		return "unknown";
	}

This need to bounds-check the value with a call to valid_hidepid(), yes?
