Subject: [PATCH 6.6 054/175] scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Sym
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 18:19:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702155116.933141825@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702155115.766838875@linuxfoundation.org>
6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
[ Upstream commit 17bed33ac12f011f4695059960e1b1d6457229a7 ]
In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions, add helper functions for Elf_Sym. This
will create a function pointer for each helper that will get assigned to
the appropriate function to handle either the 64bit or 32bit version.
This also removes the last references of etype and _r() macros from the
sorttable.h file as their references are now just defined in the
appropriate architecture version of the helper functions. All read
functions now exist in the helper functions which makes it easier to
maintain, as the helper functions define the necessary architecture sizes.
