Since cmd_livepatch is only called for single-used-m, does this mean
that we can only klp-convert single object file livepatch modules?

I stumbled upon this when trying to create a self-test module that
incorporated two object files. I tried adding a $(call cmd_livepatch)
in the recipe for $(obj)/%.o, but that didn't help. My kbuild foo
wasn't good enough to figure this one out.

I looked at my original code and it is a bit different there. I placed it
under rule_cc_o_c right after objtool command. If I remember correctly
this is the correct recipe for .c->.o. Unfortunately I forgot the details
and there is of course nothing about it in my notes.

Does it help?

Joao, is there a reason you moved it elsewhere?

Hi,

Unfortunately I can't remember why the chunk was moved to where it is in this version of the patch, sorry. Yet, I did try to move this into the rule cc_o_c and it seemed to work with not damage.

Joe, would you kindly verify and squash properly the patch below, which places cmd_livepatch in rule_cc_o_c?

Thank you.
