The following set of patches use symbol positioning instead of old addresses to disambiguate symbols that have the same name in a given object. This requires modifications to the klp_func and klp_reloc structures to add an additional element. In addition the scheme used for the func directory in sysfs is modified to append the symbols occurrence in kallsyms. v5: - remove val from klp_reloc struct - klp_write_object_relocations doesn't use sympos with external relocs - add Petr Mladek's patch to simplify relocated external symbol code - add optimization in klp_find_callback in unique case - remove klp_find_verify_func_addr - amend/remove commit messages/comments to be more precise Chris J Arges (3): livepatch: add old_sympos as disambiguator field to klp_func livepatch: add sympos as disambiguator field to klp_reloc livepatch: function,sympos scheme in livepatch sysfs directory Petr Mladek (1): livepatch: Simplify code for relocated external symbols Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-livepatch | 6 +- include/linux/livepatch.h | 28 ++-- kernel/livepatch/core.c | 164 +++++++++-------------- 3 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe live-patching" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
