livepatch: Add "replace" sysfs attribute
There are situations when it might make sense to combine livepatches with and without the atomic replace on the same system. For example, the livepatch without the atomic replace might provide a hotfix or extra tuning. Managing livepatches on such systems might be challenging. And the information which of the installed livepatches do not use the atomic replace would be useful. Add new sysfs interface 'replace'. It works as follows: $ cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch-non_replace/replace 0 $ cat /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch-replace/replace 1 [ commit log improved by Petr ] Signed-off-by: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Acked-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240625151123.2750-2-laoar.shao@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>
