[PATCH v3 4/6] livepatch: Add sample livepatch module
Posted by Lukas Hruska 1 year, 3 months ago 
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>

Add a new livepatch sample in samples/livepatch/ to make use of symbols
that must be post-processed to enable load-time relocation resolution.
As the new sample is to be used as an example, it is annotated with
KLP_RELOC_SYMBOL macro.

The livepatch sample updates the function cmdline_proc_show to print the
string referenced by the symbol saved_command_line appended by the
string "livepatch=1".

Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the
description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will
result in a warning when built with make W=1. Recently, multiple
developers have been eradicating these warnings treewide, and very few
are left, so please update your sample to include one as well.
