[RFC][PATCH] Enable livepatching for powerpc

Balbir Singh bsingharora at gmail.com
Thu Feb 25 23:11:45 AEDT 2016


This applies on top of the patches posted by Michael today
Enable livepatching. This takes patch 6/8 and 7/8 of v8 as the base.
Removes the extra strict check in gcc-profile-kernel-notrace.sh
and adds logic for checking offsets in livepatch. The patch
for HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is not required and not used here.

Depending on whether or not a TOC is generated, the offset
for _mcount can be +16 or +8. The changes are such that the
offset checks are specific to powerpc.

Comments? Testing? I tested the sample in the livepatch
directory
