[PATCH v14 01/11] livepatch: Change unsigned long old_addr -> void *old_func in struct klp_func

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 04:46:07 EST


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 is derived from the way how
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 log 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.
