Subject: [PATCH 2/2] livepatch: Allow loading modules on architectures without HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 18:25:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171208172523.12150-3-mbenes@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171208172523.12150-1-mbenes@suse.cz>
Now that immediate feature was removed, it is not possible to load
livepatch modules on architectures without HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE. Fix
it by removing guilty check in klp_register_patch().
The architectures without HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE will now rely only on
kernelspace/userspace boundary switching, the (fake) signal and force
feature.
Also remove the check from all sample modules.
