livepatch: add (un)patch callbacks ... Provide livepatch modules a klp_object (un)patching notification mechanism. Pre and post-(un)patch callbacks allow livepatch modules to setup or synchronize changes that would be difficult to support in only patched-or-unpatched code contexts. Callbacks can be registered for target module or vmlinux klp_objects, but each implementation is klp_object specific. - Pre-(un)patch callbacks run before any (un)patching transition starts. - Post-(un)patch callbacks run once an object has been (un)patched and the klp_patch fully transitioned to its target state. Example use cases include modification of global data and registration of newly available services/handlers. See Documentation/livepatch/callbacks.txt for details and samples/livepatch/ for examples.

livepatch: introduce shadow variable API ... Add exported API for livepatch modules: klp_shadow_get() klp_shadow_alloc() klp_shadow_get_or_alloc() klp_shadow_free() klp_shadow_free_all() that implement "shadow" variables, which allow callers to associate new shadow fields to existing data structures. This is intended to be used by livepatch modules seeking to emulate additions to data structure definitions. See Documentation/livepatch/shadow-vars.txt for a summary of the new shadow variable API, including a few common use cases. See samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-* for example modules that demonstrate shadow variables.
