Subject: [PATCH v3 10/17] elf: Introduce elf64_phdr_size() helper
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 17:25:34 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826092541.3905933-11-ruanjinjie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826092541.3905933-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com>
Add a common helper to compute the total size of an ELF64 header
(Ehdr + program headers) from the number of program headers.
Replace open-coded calculations in powerpc, x86, vmcore,
and crash_core.
On ppc64, struct elfhdr maps to elf64_hdr, so the powerpc change
is a pure cleanup.
No functional change intended.
