[PATCH V5 1/1] livepatch: Add stack_order sysfs attribute

From: Wardenjohn
Date: Mon Oct 07 2024 - 21:49:24 EST


Add "stack_order" sysfs attribute which holds the order in which a live
patch module was loaded into the system. A user can then determine an
active live patched version of a function.

cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_1/stack_order -> 1

means that livepatch_1 is the first live patch applied

cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_module/stack_order -> N

means that livepatch_module is the Nth live patch applied
