[PATCH v2 0/1] add (un)patch callbacks

Show all headers | View raw

Hi folks,

This is v2 of the livepatch (un)patch hook/notifier/callback/etc code.

The documentation is still a little rough, but I wanted to post up the
code for feedback before getting too far in revising it.

This implements the pre and post handlers as Josh suggested.  See
summary of related changes below...

v2:
- s/hooks/callbacks/g
- implemented pre-(un)patch and post-(un)patch callbacks
  - pre-patch and pre-unpatch callbacks run from callers of
    klp_patch_object() and klp_unpatch_object()
  - post-patch and post-unpatch callbacks run from
    klp_complete_transition() and klp_module_coming/going()
- reduce callbacks from a list to a single per-klp_object instance
- revamp the sample callback demo
- revamp documentation

Feedback appreciated as always.
