execute_location() and execute_user_location() intent
to copy do_nothing() text and execute it at a new location.
However, at the time being it doesn't copy do_nothing() function
but do_nothing() function descriptor which still points to the
original text. So at the end it still executes do_nothing() at
its original location allthough using a copied function descriptor.

So, fix that by really copying do_nothing() text and build a new
function descriptor by copying do_nothing() function descriptor and
updating the target address with the new location.

Also fix the displayed addresses by dereferencing do_nothing()
function descriptor.

Do you have any comment to this patch and to patch 12 ?

If not, is it ok to get your acked-by ?

Thanks
Christophe

Hi Christophe,

I think this whole series is a nice cleanup and harmonization
of how function descriptors are used.

At least for the PA-RISC parts you may add:
Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Thanks!

Any feedback please, even if it's to say no feedback ?

Hi! Thanks for the ping; I haven't had time yet to look at this, but
with -rc1 coming, I should be able to task-switch back to LKDTM for the
dev cycle and I can give some feedback.

This looks good. I might rename variables in the future (e.g. to avoid
the churn from adding _text) but also, that does help keep it clear. :)
