From 8da0b724959ccd3f8435214ebdaf1aef548967bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philipp Rudo Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:36:39 -0700 Subject: kernel/kexec_file.c: remove mis-use of sh_offset field during purgatory load The current code uses the sh_offset field in purgatory_info->sechdrs to store a pointer to the current load address of the section. Depending whether the section will be loaded or not this is either a pointer into purgatory_info->purgatory_buf or kexec_purgatory. This is not only a violation of the ELF standard but also makes the code very hard to understand as you cannot tell if the memory you are using is read-only or not. Remove this misuse and store the offset of the section in pugaroty_info->purgatory_buf in sh_offset.
