This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled livepatch: Fix build failure on 32 bits processors to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: livepatch-fix-build-failure-on-32-bits-processors.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ee5f21b6b2636c9bbdba168273d68a84081915d0 Author: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 20 16:38:02 2021 +0000 livepatch: Fix build failure on 32 bits processors [ Upstream commit 2f293651eca3eacaeb56747dede31edace7329d2 ] Trying to build livepatch on powerpc/32 results in: kernel/livepatch/core.c: In function 'klp_resolve_symbols': kernel/livepatch/core.c:221:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] 221 | sym = (Elf64_Sym *)sechdrs[symndx].sh_addr + ELF_R_SYM(relas[i].r_info); | ^ kernel/livepatch/core.c:221:21: error: assignment to 'Elf32_Sym *' {aka 'struct elf32_sym *'} from incompatible pointer type 'Elf64_Sym *' {aka 'struct elf64_sym *'} [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 221 | sym = (Elf64_Sym *)sechdrs[symndx].sh_addr + ELF_R_SYM(relas[i].r_info); | ^ kernel/livepatch/core.c: In function 'klp_apply_section_relocs': kernel/livepatch/core.c:312:35: error: passing argument 1 of 'klp_resolve_symbols' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 312 | ret = klp_resolve_symbols(sechdrs, strtab, symndx, sec, sec_objname); | ^~~~~~~ | | | Elf32_Shdr * {aka struct elf32_shdr *} kernel/livepatch/core.c:193:44: note: expected 'Elf64_Shdr *' {aka 'struct elf64_shdr *'} but argument is of type 'Elf32_Shdr *' {aka 'struct elf32_shdr *'} 193 | static int klp_resolve_symbols(Elf64_Shdr *sechdrs, const char *strtab, | ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~ Fix it by using the right types instead of forcing 64 bits types.
