Returns true if the livepatch sysfs attribute exists, and false otherwise. This new function will be used in the next patches.

selftests: livepatch: use canonical ftrace path

2025-10-15T12:50:46+00:00

Since v4.1 kernel, a new interface for ftrace called "tracefs" was introduced, which is usually mounted in /sys/kernel/tracing. Therefore, tracing files can now be accessed via either the legacy path /sys/kernel/debug/tracing or the newer path /sys/kernel/tracing.

selftests: livepatch: handle PRINTK_CALLER in check_result()

2025-01-27T10:41:28+00:00

Some arch configs (like ppc64) enable CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER, which adds the caller id as part of the dmesg. With recent util-linux's update 467a5b3192f16 ('dmesg: add caller_id support') the standard "dmesg" has been enhanced to print PRINTK_CALLER fields. Due to this, even though the expected vs observed are same, end testcase results are failed. -% insmod test_modules/test_klp_livepatch.ko -livepatch: enabling patch 'test_klp_livepatch' -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': initializing patching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': starting patching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': completing patching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': patching complete -% echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/test_klp_livepatch/enabled -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': initializing unpatching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': starting unpatching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': completing unpatching transition -livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': unpatching complete -% rmmod test_klp_livepatch +[ T3659] % insmod test_modules/test_klp_livepatch.ko +[ T3682] livepatch: enabling patch 'test_klp_livepatch' +[ T3682] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': initializing patching transition +[ T3682] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': starting patching transition +[ T826] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': completing patching transition +[ T826] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': patching complete +[ T3659] % echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/test_klp_livepatch/enabled +[ T3659] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': initializing unpatching transition +[ T3659] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': starting unpatching transition +[ T789] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': completing unpatching transition +[ T789] livepatch: 'test_klp_livepatch': unpatching complete +[ T3659] % rmmod test_klp_livepatch ERROR: livepatch kselftest(s) failed not ok 1 selftests: livepatch: test-livepatch.sh # exit=1 Currently the check_result() handles the "[time]" removal from the dmesg.

selftests: livepatch: save and restore kprobe state

Save the state of /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled during setup_config() and restore it during cleanup(). This is in preparation for a future commit that will add a test that should confirm that we cannot livepatch a kprobed function if that kprobe has a post handler.
