    livepatch: Change unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func in struct klp_func · 19514910
    Petr Mladek authored Jan 09, 2019
    
    
    The address of the to be patched function and new function is stored
    in struct klp_func as:
    
    	void *new_func;
    	unsigned long old_addr;
    
    The different naming scheme and type are derived from the way
    the addresses are set. @old_addr is assigned at runtime using
    kallsyms-based search. @new_func is statically initialized,
    for example:
    
      static struct klp_func funcs[] = {
    	{
    		.old_name = "cmdline_proc_show",
    		.new_func = livepatch_cmdline_proc_show,
    	}, { }
      };
    
    This patch changes unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func. It removes
    some confusion when these address are later used in the code. It is
    motivated by a followup patch that adds special NOP struct klp_func
    where we want to assign func->new_func = func->old_addr respectively
    func->new_func = func->old_func.
    
    This patch does not modify the existing behavior.
