Subject: [PATCH 6.12 064/204] scripts/sorttable: Convert Elf_Sym MACRO over to a union
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 18:18:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702155120.004421499@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702155118.667618796@linuxfoundation.org>

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Upstream commit 200d015e73b4da69bcd8212a7c58695452b12bad ]

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions for both, replace the Elf_Sym macro with a
union that defines both Elf64_Sym and Elf32_Sym, with field e64 for the
64bit version, and e32 for the 32bit version.

It can then use the macro etype to get the proper value.

This will eventually be replaced with just single functions that can
handle both 32bit and 64bit ELF parsing.
