Okay,  Based on your suggestion, I'm going to rename dump_kernel_instr
to dump_instr. Like:
static void dump_instr(const char *loglvl, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
...
                if (user_mode(regs))
                        bad = get_user_nofault(val, &insns[i]);
                else
                        bad = get_kernel_nofault(val, &insns[i]);
...
}

What do you think?

Thanks,
Yunhui
