liveupdate: Reference count incoming FLB data

2026-05-31T23:31:38+00:00

Increment the incoming FLB refcount in liveupdate_flb_get_incoming() so that the FLB structure cannot be freed while the caller is actively using it. Add an additional liveupdate_flb_put_incoming() function so the caller can explicitly indicate when it is done using the FLB data. During a Live Update, a subsystem might need to hold onto the incoming File-Lifecycle-Bound (FLB) data for an extended period, such as during device enumeration. Incrementing the reference count guarantees that the data remains valid and accessible until the subsystem releases it, preventing future use-after-free bugs.

liveupdate: remove liveupdate_test_unregister()

2026-04-18T07:10:50+00:00

Now that file handler unregistration automatically unregisters all associated file handlers (FLBs), the liveupdate_test_unregister() function is no longer needed. Remove it along with its usages and declarations.

tests/liveupdate: add in-kernel liveupdate test

2026-02-08T08:13:33+00:00

Introduce an in-kernel test module to validate the core logic of the Live Update Orchestrator's File-Lifecycle-Bound feature. This provides a low-level, controlled environment to test FLB registration and callback invocation without requiring userspace interaction or actual kexec reboots. The test is enabled by the CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_TEST Kconfig option.
