[RFC PATCH v3 4/6] livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations

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

 



Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Namely, we reuse
apply_relocate_add() in the module loader to write relocations instead of
duplicating functionality in livepatch's klp_write_module_reloc(). To apply
relocation sections, remaining SHN_LIVEPATCH symbols referenced by relocs
are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called to apply those
relocations.

In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code. It is no longer needed
since symbol resolution and relocation work have been offloaded to module
loader.
