[PATCH 05/11] kexec_file: Use read-only sections in arch_kexec_apply_relocations*

Philipp Rudo prudo at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Mon Feb 26 07:16:14 PST 2018


When the relocations are applied to the purgatory only the section the
relocations are applied to is writable. The other sections, i.e. the symtab
and .rel/.rela, are in read-only kexec_purgatory. Highlight this by marking
the corresponding variables as 'const'.

While at it also change the signatures of arch_kexec_apply_relocations* to
take section pointers instead of just the index of the relocation section.
This removes the second lookup and sanity check of the sections in arch
code.
