| Subject | [PATCH 1/3 v4] livepatch: add old_sympos as disambiguator field to klp_func |
| Date | 2015-11-11 17:30 +0100 |
| Message-ID | <qtGrw-592-5@gated-at.bofh.it> (permalink) |

In cases of duplicate symbols, old_sympos will be used to disambiguate
instead of old_addr. By default old_sympos will be 0, and patching will
only succeed if the symbol is unique. Specifying a positive value will
ensure that occurrence of the symbol will be used for patching if it is
valid. Finally, old_addr is now an internal structure element and not to
be specified by the user.
