When enable KASLR, func->old_addr will be set to zero

But for reloc, livepatch just verify it using reloc->val
(old addr from user), so verify failed and report
"kernel mismatch" error.

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE being enabled by itself doesn't directly imply that
kASLR has been actually really enabled during runtime. You need
to check kaslr_enabled() as well.

Right.

Is there a reason why to discard it completely? Adding kaslr_offset()
should give us the correct address, right?

Thanks,


Yes, it's definitely better.
