I had to add the patch below to get LivePatching working.
I tested it the following way:
# livepatching sample
CONFIG_SAMPLES=y
CONFIG_SAMPLE_LIVEPATCH=m
# booted the compiled kernel and printed the default cmdline
$> cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-rc3-11-default+ root=UUID=...
# loaded the patch and printed the patch cmdline
$> modprobe livepatch-sample
$> cat /proc/cmdline
this has been live patched
# tried to disable and enable the patch
$> echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_sample/enabled
$> cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-rc3-11-default+ root=UUID=...
$> echo 1 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_sample/enabled
$> cat /proc/cmdline
this has been live patched
# also checked messages
$> dmesg | tail -n 4

Subject: [PATCH] livepatch: Support ftrace location with an offset
ftrace_set_filter_ip() function requires the exact ftrace location
as a parameter. It is the same as the function address on x86 and s390.
But it is after the TOC load and LR save on powerpc.
This patch adds klp_ftrace_location() arch-specific function that
will compute the ftrace location from the function address.
I thought about handling this with a constant (define) but I
am not sure if it always would be a constant. I also thought
about a weak function. But this seems to be a good compromise.
We are ready for complications and the compiler still might
optimize it.
I made it livepatch-specific to keep it simple. Ftrace supports
more locations of the handler, e.g. Mcount on x86. But livepatching
does not support most of them. Also ftrace does not know the offset
easily because it gets the ftrace locations from __mcount_loc
object section.
