[RFC][PATCH v2 1/7] switch dereference_function_descriptor() to `unsigned long'

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Wed Sep 20 2017 - 12:32:30 EST


Convert dereference_function_descriptor() to accept and return
`unsigned long'. There will be two new ARCH function for kernel
and module function pointer dereference, which will work with
`unsigned long', so the patch unifies interfaces.

Besides, dereference_function_descriptor() mostly work with
`unsigned long':

drivers/misc/kgdbts.c:
addr = (unsigned long) dereference_function_descriptor((void *)addr);

init/main.c:
addr = (unsigned long) dereference_function_descriptor(fn);

kernel/extable.c:
addr = (unsigned long) dereference_function_descriptor(ptr);

kernel/module.c:
unsigned long a = (unsigned long)dereference_function_descriptor(addr);

Convert dereference_function_descriptor() users tree-wide.
