From 444f9e99a840c4050c0530cfef81801a21a59f4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris J Arges Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 20:40:56 -0600 Subject: livepatch: function,sympos scheme in livepatch sysfs directory The following directory structure will allow for cases when the same function name exists in a single object. /sys/kernel/livepatch/// The sympos number corresponds to the nth occurrence of the symbol name in kallsyms for the patched object. An example of patching multiple symbols can be found here: https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/493 Signed-off-by: Chris J Arges Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina --- kernel/livepatch/core.c | 10 ++++++++-- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel/livepatch') diff --git a/kernel/livepatch/core.c b/kernel/livepatch/core.c index e842534d3493..94893e844e44 100644 --- a/kernel/livepatch/core.c +++ b/kernel/livepatch/core.c @@ -535,7 +535,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(klp_enable_patch); * /sys/kernel/livepatch/ * /sys/kernel/livepatch//enabled * /sys/kernel/livepatch// - * /sys/kernel/livepatch/// + * /sys/kernel/livepatch/// */ static ssize_t enabled_store(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr, @@ -680,8 +680,14 @@ static int klp_init_func(struct klp_object *obj, struct klp_func *func) INIT_LIST_HEAD(&func->stack_node); func->state = KLP_DISABLED; + /* The format for the sysfs directory is where sympos + * is the nth occurrence of this symbol in kallsyms for the patched + * object.
