[PATCH v2 02/20] vmcore: rearrange program headers without assuming consequtive PT_NOTE entries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Current code assumes all PT_NOTE headers are placed at the beginning
of program header table and they are consequtive. But the assumption
could be broken by future changes on either kexec-tools or the 1st
kernel. This patch removes the assumption and rearranges program
headers as the following conditions are satisfied:

- PT_NOTE entry is unique at the first entry,

- the order of program headers are unchanged during this
  rearrangement, only their positions are changed in positive
  direction.

- unused part that occurs in the bottom of program headers are filled
  with 0.

Also, this patch adds one exceptional case where the number of PT_NOTE
entries is somehow 0. Then, immediately go out of the function.
