[PATCH v6 07/20] modpost: replace r->r_offset, r->r_addend with faddr, taddr

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Sun May 21 2023 - 12:05:43 EST


r_offset/r_addend holds the offset address from/to which a symbol is
referenced. It is unclear unless you are familiar with ELF.

Rename them to faddr, taddr, respectively. The prefix 'f' means 'from',
't' means 'to'.
