Subject[PATCH] livepatch: Fix build failure on 32 bits processors
Date
Trying to build livepatch on powerpc/32 results in:

kernel/livepatch/core.c: In function 'klp_resolve_symbols':
kernel/livepatch/core.c:221:23: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]

193 | static int klp_resolve_symbols(Elf64_Shdr *sechdrs, const char *strtab,
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~

Fix it by using the right types instead of forcing 64 bits types.

Fixes: 7c8e2bdd5f0d ("livepatch: Apply vmlinux-specific KLP relocations early")
