19 * The exception table needs to be sorted so that the binary
20 * search that we use to find entries in it works properly.
21 * This is used both for the kernel exception table and for
22 * the exception tables of modules that get loaded.

46 * Search one exception table for an entry corresponding to the
47 * given instruction address, and return the address of the entry,
48 * or NULL if none is found.
49 * We use a binary search, and thus we assume that the table is

53 search_extable(const struct exception_table_entry *first,
54 const struct exception_table_entry *last,
57 while (first <= last) {
58 const struct exception_table_entry *mid;
60 mid = ((last - first) >> 1) + first;
62 * careful, the distance between value and insn
63 * can be larger than MAX_LONG:
65 if (mid->insn < value)
67 else if (mid->insn > value)
