Subject: [PATCH 09/17] kexec_file: Remove mis-use of sh_offset field
Date:   Mon, 12 Feb 2018 11:07:46 +0100
In-Reply-To: <20180212100754.55121-1-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
References: <20180212100754.55121-1-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Message-Id: <20180212100754.55121-10-prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to
store a pointer to the current load address of the section. Depending
whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into
purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory. This is not only a
violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to
understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only or
not.

Remove this mis-use and store the offset of the section in
pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset.
