This interface provides a way for userspace tools and scripts to monitor the current state of the LUO state machine. The main feature is a read-only file, state, which displays the current LUO state as a string ("normal", "prepared", "frozen", "updated"). The interface uses sysfs_notify to allow userspace listeners (e.g., via poll) to be efficiently notified of state changes. ABI documentation for this new sysfs interface is added in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-liveupdate. This read-only sysfs interface complements the main ioctl interface provided by /dev/liveupdate, which handles LUO control operations and resource management.
