[RFC PATCH v3 03/13] module: Move livepatch support to a separate file

From: Aaron Tomlin
Date: Fri Jan 28 2022 - 15:39:59 EST


No functional change.

This patch migrates livepatch support (i.e. used during module
add/or load and remove/or deletion) from core module code into
kernel/module/livepatch.c. At the moment it contains code to
persist Elf information about a given livepatch module, only.
