[PATCH v3 2/2] arm64: Implement HAVE_LIVEPATCH

Song Liu song at kernel.org
Thu Mar 20 10:15:59 PDT 2025


This is largely based on [1] by Suraj Jitindar Singh.

Test coverage:

- Passed manual tests with samples/livepatch.
- Passed all but test-kprobe.sh in selftests/livepatch.
  test-kprobe.sh is expected to fail, because arm64 doesn't have
  KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
- Passed tests with kpatch-build [2]. (This version includes commits that
  are not merged to upstream kpatch yet).
