From 07630a37beefe8e4401c602f04e3e5bcbba50b31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:32:28 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Add ppc_function_entry() which gets the entry point for a function Because function pointers point to different things on 32-bit vs 64-bit, add a macro that deals with dereferencing the OPD on 64-bit. The soon to be merged ftrace wants this, as well as other code I am working on.
