Hi Ming,

I gave the patchset a spin on top of linus tree @ 1fc596a56b33 and ended
up with a stuck task:

Test
----
Enable the livepatch selftests:
  $ grep CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH .config
  CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH=m

Run a continuous kernel build in the background:
  $ while (true); do make clean && make -j$(nproc); done

While continuously executing the selftests:
  $ while (true); do make -C tools/testing/selftests/livepatch/ run_tests; done

Results

Let me know if you have any questions about the tests.  If you look at
the "^%" prefixed kernel messages in the above log, you can get a rough
idea of the commands that the test ran.
