[PATCH 0/8] kselftests: livepatch: Adapt tests to be executed on 4.12 kernels
From: Marcos Paulo de Souza
Date: Fri Mar 13 2026 - 16:59:25 EST
These patches don't really change how the patches are run, just skip
some tests on kernels that don't support a feature (like kprobe and
livepatched living together) or when a livepatch sysfs attribute is
missing.
The last patch slightly adjusts check_result function to skip dmesg
messages on SLE kernels when a livepatch is removed.
These patches are based on printk/for-next branch.
Please review! Thanks!
