[PATCH v5 8/9] Implement kernel live patching for ppc64le (ABIv2)
Torsten Duwe
duwe at lst.de
Sat Dec 5 01:11:37 AEDT 2015
* create the appropriate files+functions
arch/powerpc/include/asm/livepatch.h
klp_check_compiler_support,
klp_arch_set_pc
arch/powerpc/kernel/livepatch.c with a stub for
klp_write_module_reloc
This is architecture-independent work in progress.
* introduce a fixup in arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S
for local calls that are becoming global due to live patching.
And of course do the main KLP thing: return to a maybe different
address, possibly altered by the live patching ftrace op.
