Josh Poimboeuf 3c33f5b99d livepatch: support for repatching a function ... Add support for patching a function multiple times. If multiple patches affect a function, the function in the most recently enabled patch "wins". This enables a cumulative patch upgrade path, where each patch is a superset of previous patches. This requires restructuring the data a little bit. With the current design, where each klp_func struct has its own ftrace_ops, we'd have to unregister the old ops and then register the new ops, because FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY prevents us from having two ops registered for the same function at the same time. That would leave a regression window where the function isn't patched at all (not good for a patch upgrade path). This patch replaces the per-klp_func ftrace_ops with a global klp_ops list, with one ftrace_ops per original function. A single ftrace_ops is shared between all klp_funcs which have the same old_addr. This allows the switch between function versions to happen instantaneously by updating the klp_ops struct's func_stack list. The winner is the klp_func at the top of the func_stack (front of the list).
