[PATCH 2/5] ia64: Add .opd based function descriptor dereference

Sat Sep 16 13:53:44 AEST 2017


We are moving towards separate kernel and module function descriptor
dereference callbacks. This patch enables it for IA64.

For pointers that belong to the kernel
-  Added __start_opd and __end_opd pointers, to track the kernel
   .opd section address range;

-  Added dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(). Now we
   will dereference only function pointers that are within
   [__start_opd, __end_opd];

For pointers that belong to a module
-  Added dereference_module_function_descriptor() to handle module
   function descriptor dereference. Now we will dereference only
   pointers that are within [module->opd.start, module->opd.end].
