[PATCH 0/5] livepatch: Fail object initialization on duplicate patched function
From: Petr Mladek
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 08:14:33 EST
This is v4 of the patch failing object initialization when it patches
the same underlying function twice through two aliased symbols
(functions sharing one address) in the same object.
Changes against [v3]:
+ Add selftest for livepatching aliased symbols [Song, Harry]
+ Only partially revert relocations when failing inside
klp_apply_object_relocs() [Sashiko]
+ Cleanup changes made by klp_init_object_loaded() for failing
patch on another failures in klp_module_coming() [Sashiko]
Changes against [v2]:
+ Clarify comments and the commit message [Miroslav]
+ Cleanup when klp_init_object_loaded() fails [Sashiko]
