Subject: [PATCH 0/4] livepatch: Followup changes for the atomic replace patchset

This patchset implements ideas that were mentioned and postponed during
the review of the atomic replace patchset. I hope that I did not miss
anything.

Well, I did not add __used attribute to avoid non-static warnings
in modules for the selftest. The work on the sample modules somehow
stalled.

BTW: Does it make sense to maintain the sample modules any longer?
We could point people to the modules used by the selftest instead.


The patches apply on top of livepatching.git, branch
origin/for-5.1/atomic-replace.


Petr Mladek (4):
  livepatch: Introduce klp_for_each_patch macro
  livepatch: Handle failing allocation of shadow variables in the
    selftest
  livepatch: Module coming and going callbacks can proceed all listed
    patches
  livepatch: Remove the redundant enabled flag in struct klp_patch
