All three versions of klp_arch_set_pc() do exactly the same: they call ftrace_instruction_pointer_set(). Call ftrace_instruction_pointer_set() directly and remove klp_arch_set_pc(). As klp_arch_set_pc() was the only thing remaining in asm/livepatch.h on x86 and s390, remove asm/livepatch.h livepatch.h remains on powerpc but its content is exclusively used by powerpc specific code. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <redacted>Acked-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> I am going to take it via livepatch/livepatch.git for 5.19. We are already in the middle of the merge window and this is not critical.I haven't seen it in linux-next. Do you still plan to take it for 5.19 ?
Thanks a lot for pointing this out. I have completely forgot about this patch /o\ I have just pushed it into livepatching/livepatching.git, branch for-5.19/cleanup. I am going to create pull request for 5.19 by the end of this week after it gets a spin in linux-next. Best Regards, Petr
