[PATCH 1/2] livepatch: introduce 'order' sysfs interface to klp_patch

From: Wardenjohn
Date: Fri Sep 20 2024 - 05:04:30 EST


This feature can provide livepatch patch order information.
With the order of sysfs interface of one klp_patch, we can
use patch order to find out which function of the patch is
now activate.

After the discussion, we decided that patch-level sysfs
interface is the only accaptable way to introduce this
information.

This feature is like:
cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_1/order -> 1
means this livepatch_1 module is the 1st klp patch applied.

cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_module/order -> N
means this lviepatch_module is the Nth klp patch applied
to the system.
