Subject: [PATCH] arm64: patching: Use uintptr_t in aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync()
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 10:59:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104095943.97344-3-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
Use uintptr_t for tp instead of casting it multiple times and pass addr
directly to aarch64_insn_write().
Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum <blum@kernel.org>
