The format of the arm64 and x86 exception table entries is essentially the same as of commits:46d28947d9("x86/extable: Rework the exception table mechanics")d6e2cc5647("arm64: extable: add `type` and `data` fields") Both use a 12-byte entry consisting of two 32-bit relative offsets and 32 bits of (absolute) data, and their sort functions are identical aside from commentary, with arm64 saying: /* Don't touch the fixup type or data */ ... and x86 saying: /* Don't touch the fixup type */ Unify the two behind a common sort_relative_table_with_data() function, retaining the arm64 commentary. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
