[PATCH v2] livepatch: old_name.number scheme in livepatch sysfs directory

From: Chris J Arges
Date: Mon Nov 02 2015 - 18:00:37 EST


The following directory structure will allow for cases when the same
function name exists in a single object.
/sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/<object>/<function.number>

The number corresponds to the nth occurrence of the symbol name in
kallsyms for the patched object.

An example of this issue is documented here:
https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/493
