<content type='text'>
The only purpose of klp_check_compiler_support() is to make sure that we
are not using ftrace on x86 via mcount (because that's executed only after
prologue has already happened, and that's too late for livepatching
purposes).

Now that mcount is not supported by ftrace any more, there is no need for
klp_check_compiler_support() either.

 "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.2-rc1

  There are a number of ACPI patches in here as well, as Rafael said
  they should go through this tree due to the driver core changes they
  required. They have all been acked by the ACPI developers.

  There are also a number of small subsystem-specific changes in here,
  due to some changes to the kobject core code. Those too have all been
  acked by the various subsystem maintainers.

  As for content, it's pretty boring outside of the ACPI changes:
   - spdx cleanups
   - kobject documentation updates
   - default attribute groups for kobjects
   - other minor kobject/driver core fixes

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

<id>urn:sha1:f68d67cf2f83dc82675969724b59ca7c6da43fa9</id>
<content type='text'>
kobject_init() call added one more operation that has to be
done when doing the early initialization of both static and
dynamic livepatch structures.

It would have been easier when the early initialization code
was not duplicated. Let's deduplicate it for future generations
of livepatching hackers.

The patch does not change the existing behavior.

<content type='text'>
kobject_init() always succeeds and sets the reference count to 1.
It allows to always free the structures via kobject_put() and
the related release callback.

Note that the custom kobject state handling was used only
because we did not know that kobject_put() can and actually
should get called even when kobject_init_and_add() fails.

The patch should not change the existing behavior.

<content type='text'>
The commit d0807da78e11d46f ("livepatch: Remove immediate feature") caused
that any livepatch was refused when reliable stacktraces were not supported
on the given architecture.

The limitation is too strong. User space processes are safely migrated
even when entering or leaving the kernel. Kthreads transition would
need to get forced. But it is safe when:

   + The livepatch does not change the semantic of the code.
   + Callbacks do not depend on a safely finished transition.
